But I know that this won't be even close to the truth. I live in the North of England and I think we have the same kind of thing done to us by our mainstream TV people. Londoners, think Newcastle is in Scotland and that none of us have heard of electricity before! |

I'm relieved, sometimes I get too defensive and opinionated and say things without thinking it out thoroughly, I was afraid that people on the board would get mad at me, I'm glad though that they didn't. I suppose Frankline wouldn'tve made as much progress as he did in his lifetime if he hadn't been brought up in the more citylike society. i just realised my mistake!! i feel like such an idiot right now!! i dont know why i wrote BF, i seriously dont!! i seriously feel like an idiot!!! but i meant Frederick Douglass, that he wouldnt have accomplished all he did if he hadnt escaped from the south. and i really didnt want to jump down ure throat or anything like that. I would react tht way if someone insulted CA or Oakland, and im glad we go everything cleared up. but i still feel very stupid  |

This is like how some people think that we Australians live in shacks with no electricity and have dunnies and kangaroos jumping around.
So if Texas isn't really South, where is considered really South? (Excuse my naivity)

you may not consider it the south, it is though Texas may technically be "the south," but living here, I can see his point. You could almost say that Texas has a culture all its own. I wouldn't consider Texas to be a part of the "deep south" -- which I guess would be Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky..... I'm not sure if the Carolinas have a place in there. |

When I think of Iceland I only usually get as far as Magnus Magnuson and Bjork. *blushes* but never igloos.

Londoners, think Newcastle is in Scotland and that none of us have heard of electricity before! Isn't it next to Manchester? Or Bognor... When I think of South I think of Texas and people riding horses and like somene else said, rocking on wheelchairs on the porch...I think Cowboy and Indian films had quite an impact on me..... My geography is terrible...I have no idea where anything is...I will study an Atlas. |

I definitely see Texas as a part of the south. I mean the state has a very independent complex, because we are big. Slap Texas on something and we love it. But I do think of Texas as a big part of the whole southern culture. By the way, I do believe Texas is one of, if not, the coolest state in the US. You just don't mess with it! But I agree with you on that. Hahahaha. |

Ha, yes, I definately did mean rocking chairs! I think I must've been dropped on the head as a baby...
I'd imagine it to be very interesting to rock in a rocking chair on the porch, just watching the world go by...
