Are you serious in that you've never actually seen a hillbilly? Are there any official figures on how many there actually are and for which state has the highest population of them?

Well we don't really have any hillbillies around the eastern part of the state that I know of. From the North Carolina border to Washington DC it's a pretty settled and metropolitan area. It's a four hour drive to the other part of the start and with nothing there past Richmond in the middle but ****burg redneck towns there isn't any reason for us to go over there.

And I have no idea how many hillbillies there actually are or if they're like the movies. But at least around here West Virginia is generally accepted to be hillbilly central where all the cousin ****ing happens. Though whether that's actually true I don't really know.

I've travelled a fair bit in my time and the happiest people I ever met were not in America or the UK or France or Germany or Israel or any other wealthy nation. The happiest people I ever met were poverty stricken individuals in Nigeria and in India and they had nothing, they lived in dead end s**thole villages with no healthcare, one of them had half a leg and was selling bananas at the sidde of the road, and yet there was more happiness in their eyes than I've seen in anyone.
Mate, you wouldn't know miserable living conditions if they smacked you in the fucking face. I lived in Belgrade when NATO bombed the crap out of it in the late 90's. Do you know what it's like to have to live under a cement structure for 4 months, and then not know if your house is going to still be there when you get out? When you don't know if you're going to get your next meal or where it's coming from?

Stop spewing the "poverty and hardship is happiness" philosophy to everybody.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this Charlie guy is for real. He's ignorant though, that's for sure. You can't just go somewhere like India and see the people living on the street in the mud, and assume that they're happy because they appear that way. They may seem happy but that's because those conditions are all they know - ignorance is bliss kind of thing. Once you learn that people on the other side of the world have it way better, that goes out the window. I've been to a number of countries, both developing and industrialized and I can tell you that it's easy to see who is genuinely, inherently happy with the way they live.

I think this might just be the most epic pwn I've ever seen.

Haha, it's a true story too mate. Now I'm just wondering if he has anymore hippie themed posts left to put here or have we shut him up for good.
