They were better equipped, better armed, baracaded the south with it's navy, and had much larger army

[/ QUOTE ]
I think that is EXACTLY how they "covered the spread".

[/ QUOTE ]

i think this is exactly how they didn't, because it made the south a huge underdog.

[/ QUOTE ]

If they played the game again, not many would be betting on the south.

It feels good knowing that Clark's got my back while I'm resting up for my finals. Challah at ya boy!

The rebels of the south tried to tear apart the US. They did not. Why should we be proud of people who tried to secede from the nation? Do you not like the country TSC?

Well if you live in CA, you can thank the Northern aggressors for being able to be arrested for marijuana-related Federal laws in spite of state laws to the contrary.

Say nope to dope.

(and I will vehemently argue that less than 5% of the Confederate Flag displayers are doing so as a statement about the complicated issue of States rights vs the Federal Government.)

Also, there are several people that are claiming I don't know what I'm talking about when I say the Rebel Flag isn't about slavery.


[/ QUOTE ]

these people are all correct. the fact that the flag is quite old matters much less than what it NOW stands for. the flag has become much more popular to display/use since the Civil Rights movement.

Challah!

I'd also like to change my stance from "wacki doesn't know what he's talking about" to "wacki doesn't know what google's talking about".

Do I wish the South would dissapear? Yes, yes I do.

WTF did "the South" ever do to you? "The South" gave you sweet tea, tobacco, Chick-fil-A, Southern Belles and Nascar.

(I mostly kid about the Nascar)

Sweet tea is pretty horrible.

Shajen,
I can live, quite happily, without anything you mentioned (most of which I do live without).

As for what has the South done to me? My response would belong in politics, but I am sure you can figure out how a California liberal might answer.

For an oot response, the South has unfortunately produced Jeff Foxworthy, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, GitRdone, Nascar, the KKK, Cracker Barrel, Get Crunked Rap music, Lil Jon, a celebration of ignorance, the worst socio-economic disparity in the country, Britney Spears, people who watch Everyone Loves Raymond, overalls, an acceptance of intelligent design as a viable scientific theory, Master P, pimp cups, platinum teeth, higher healthcare costs due to obesity, and Toby Keith.

I can come up with a lot more, this is just off the top of my head.

What's the problem with Cracker Barrel? I've only eaten there once but it was pretty good.

[thatpfunk]

I've only eaten there once as well. It was after 24 hrs of driving and I hated the place out of spite I think (I doubt I would have enjoyed any breakfast at that point).

I was also little pertrubed by the fact that in front of the entrance there was large sign telling the patrons that they didn't discriminate due to race or creed. Really? No [censored], because I didn't think you were allowed to, even if you wanted. But thanks for letting me know.

(so I guess you can strike CB off my list, circumstances being what they were)
