Not really. I could go out into the parking lot of the plant where I work and find plenty of gun racks and skoal. Some communities still close the schools on the first day of deer hunting season (not even joking).

yes which is why i noted it. That is assbackwards. We dont live in cowboy times anymore.

I've noticed that a lot of people on here view the South as just this assbackwards part of the country where everyone does nothing all day except get drunk, read the Bible, and have sex with their relatives. Living here all of my life I have got to say that is not entirely true..

So what do you think of the South? And those of you who don't live in the US, does the South carry this kind of stigma around the world or is it just what the yanks think of us?

lol, nice... not "entirely" true 🙂

We do drink a lot of beer.
 
Think Churches instead of convience marts. ABC liquor stores, though it goes for pretty much all of the east coast it seems. Strip joints in between the churches. Lots of empty land, with some abandon homes in them, falling apart no less. A small cluster of "normal" shops, IE Bestbuy, Target, Wal-mart, Malls, Theatres, etc.. all on/off one major road. Along with people who give a rats behind about public education, or so it seems with the funding problems.

Best of All, DIRT CHEAP PROPERTY. 3000Sq. Feet, 3 Car garage, decent sized yard 220K. 😉

Yes that is in a nice development as well.

At least in Northern Alabama.
