Well Southerners are really pretty varied. I mean, what you get in Dallas is going to be a lot different from what you get in rural Arkansas.

Well I find that the best way to deal with that is just to make good decisions about where you live and who you associate with. I live in an area of Salt Lake that is pretty liberal and non-religious, and all of my friends are non-religious, so it's actually pretty rare that I meet any gung ho Mormons or members of other Christian-based denominations.

Every city has its "alternative culture" area with the liberals and gays and hippies. Think Mid-Town Memphis. That's where you want to be if you want to avoid all the God talk.

Yeah but like you said, that's where all the gays are.

Well like Mormons, gays are often pretty nice people, even if they're different from you.

Yeah, but they're so gay though.

I don't consider Texas "the south." Of course it is varied though, even in the deep south. But to hear him tell it, the people are just different on the average. He lives in a college town and it is mostly catholic because he is in cajun country... so you would think it would be somewhat insulated. But, he really doesn't like it down there and says he will be moving north of tha mason dixon as soon as he graduates.

I felt the same way when I was out in socal... even though I grew up there, when I visited as an adult, the whole culture just seemed stupid to me.

But there are good people everywhere, and there are like minded people everywhere.

But seriously, Midtown Memphis is pretty cool, I have some friends that live there. It's definitely the place to live in Memphis. As is Uptown New Orleans, albeit on a better and larger scale.

I rue the day when making fun of gayness is politically incorrect.

In 50 years I am going to be the old guy saying inappropriate things that makes all the young people uncomfortable. I will be like "I think that waiter was a fudgepacker." And my grandkids are going to be like "we don't liek grandpa, he says hate speech at dinner." And my kids will be like "well he is from a different time."

My last grandparent died a couple years ago, and she said "******" in public all the time.

My brother lives in Lafayette, LA. I haven't been, but will go this spring. Is that a good place? I know the food is good.

What the fuck. Why is the forum censoring me? Zak, you cocksucking facist... don't try to censor me.

Nig*er

I say faggots and ******s and make lots of anti-semitic remarks, but it's all in good fun. But on a serious note, I really do think being genuinely intolerant is fucked up. I grew up around right-wing Christians and in the past several years have spent lots of time around left-wing liberals and I'm just sick of the whole game.

[SPX]

BTW, I do think it's kind of funny and ironic that ******s is censored but faggots isn't.

But I think that neither should be.

Fuck, I dunno.

I used to load a FedEx plane every night that went to LaFayette. That's about all I know.

There was a scene from Louie exactly like that. He took his daughters to see his 97 year old aunt or some shit. And she had some nuts on the table and kept calling them 'n!gger toes' and making everyone uncomfortable. Then she died in the kitchen. Classic.

Yeah, I saw that one. Hilarious because everyone has been there. It was actually my wife's gma, and she wasn't senile, just racist.

Speaking of Louie, did you see the episode where they are sitting around the poker table calling that gay dude a faggot and he pours his heart out about the word, and then he goes, deal the cards faggot (or something similar, ignoring the entire story)... I died laughing at that.

Louie is the new Seinfeld.
