I think thats why West Virgina was created, to be with the Union and not the South

You sure as hell implied it when you said that most people with a southern accent are toothless rednecks.

There is a difference between saying something and implying something which i never did, if so not on purpose.

Some of the nicest people I've ever met are from the southern US, lol, being from way up north I guess we talk a lot faster than our deep southern neighbors and they always know instantly that you are a foreigner. I really enjoy the languid laid back dialect from Texas, Florida etc...it's just so different from how we talk that it makes the simplest conversations more entertaining. When I travel down east to Toronto for instance, my relatives have almost a Tennessee accent compared to out west, some words in particular stand out instantly. I do speak a little French on occasion and I enjoy many European accents as well, the diversity of people from different cultures is what makes the world such a great place.(And even within our own countries as many of you have already mentioned.)

This is a highly typical move and tactic here on the boards. Never say something directly and shirk all responsibility when you're rightfully held tot he fire.

As NSW said, you may not have said those exact words, but you might as well have, and we're not really arguing words are we? The spirit of the comment is identical and as such, I refer back to my original post on the matter.

In reply to the original post, for the most part I quite like accents from the southern states of the US and don't like the ones from the north. The New York accent is probably my least favourite.

Forget you all. I'm chalking this up to us being the nexus of the universe and you're all envious.

Virginia is the south for all historical purposes. Today is much less southern do to its proxemity with D.C. and the influx of northern influence. Further, its about to go blue in 2008 making it loose more of its credibility. To that end, Pennsylvania is more culturally Southern on its western front that Virginia is outside of its sloping point in Tennesee.

And texas isn't southern in the sense of culture, more geography. If you're concluding they are southern it seems to imply you either don't know Texas culture, or you don't know southern culture.
