'Hick' is a derogatory term.
If wrote this thread under the title "Spics have something to be grateful about" about how long would it last before someone freaked out?

Yet another example of the bias against redneck/southerners. The only group in America that you can make fun of without people taking offense.

Just go with the flow. I'll get labeled a bigot for denouncing homicidal Jihadists, but prejudice against a whole segment of the American population -poor white Southerners- is not only fair game, it's encouraged.

Actually it's you who are being derisive as it's you who's claiming that only whites and southerners can be Rednecks and Hicks.

That's crap. Anybody can be called a Hick, not just white southerners, but the implication is they are behaving like that stereotype.

No it's not..well besides the few idiots like Steeplerot. Hicks are just uneducated dumbasses of any race from any region.

Maybe most people grew out of the adolescent anger and joined the real world with jobs, responsibilities, and families.

Listening to you talk about country music is like me discussing the benefits of hair dye, tattoos, piercings, and trance. You're so outside the real America you're talking about things you know nothing about. Stay in your lane... marxist rants, et el.

Well, seeing as how music industry has been my career since I got my first job as a radio dj as a teenager while in a band and still going strong I would take you up on that challenge, I dig a lot of "country" (folk) but not this mainly jingoistic corporate crap nowdays.

How do you know the OP was trying to be deragatory. AFAIK, "hick" isn't necessarily deragatory. And, who knows, maybe he meant "Taylor" Hicks. 😀

But, btw, this thread should be locked due to lack of OP's personal input.

Locking a thread after 4 pages is just retarded. Besides, it can be argued that he expressed his opinion in the way he worded the title.

Why????

Talking with steeplerot is like negotiating with terrorists... nothing good can come of it 😉

Because whatever he says, it will no doubt contradict his lie about active duty military service at the age of 17.

One funny thing I've noticed in P&N is how people who would normally deride political correctness turn out to be the ones most easily offended when something strikes a cord with them.

Did you just put steeplerot and "military service" in the same sentence? What's next, he owns a 401k??

There are certainly some characters in the enlisted ranks, and people can get pretty weird AFTER there service. But I admit to having a hard time believing that dude got through BCT without being chaptered.

He claimed to have served active duty for 4 years starting at age 17. He's refused to provide any iota of proof to this fact.

You think? Because coming from my own personal experience, it's not about being offended, it's about exposing stupidity and hypocrisy.

You accuse others of lying on much less. A majority of your posts are blatant personal attacks. You insult the military service of many other posters on this board. You spew a seemingly endless supply of stories which always seem to fit your agenda, and are never consistent with one another. You then come up with excuse after excuse as to why you do not need to provide any evidence of your claims. You offer to give evidence of your claims via PM, but then backtrack when you are messaged.

Either provide the slightest shred of evidence, or stop insulting and disrespecting the many members of this board who actually have served their country.
