I grew up in Louisiana and have lived in Tennessee and Georgia. I attended a university that had many students from states outside of the south and I found many of the northerners at that school to be nice, friendly people. Many of these students did not understand why some southerners have this opinion of northerners. They believed that people in the towns where they are from are just as friendly as southerners. But, there were some "yankees" that agreed with the sterotype and felt that the north in general is not as friendly as the south. I guess to each his own.

I'm from Boston and the surrounding suburbs and have often wondered how different regions perceive New England. I'm usually the one to tell people that Boston is rude and fast-paced and now believe it's more of a busy-bee syndrome/shyness than an intentional animosity. It's a high-density, competitive atmosphere to grow up in and people really have to work a lot to get by- Boston has the most expensive housing of any city in the U.S- more than NY even.

People up North do have a snobbines toward people in the South. There is this perception that the South is racist and the North is accepting of blacks. In truth, the South went through integration in schools whereas in Northern cities, the white folks fled to the suburbs- a type of racism just as damaging to society as any spoken slur.

I think there's more of a difference between the West Coast and the the East coast than South and North- The East coast has been settled for generations and people are more suspicious of new things (save NYC maybe). New forms of art, recycling programs, food coops, renewable energy, sustainable development: all of these things are integrated more slowly on the East coast than the West.

When I thruhiked the AT they warned us that New Englanders didn't care much for hikers, but that wasn't my experience there. People were great everywhere along the trail.

I'm from New England. Maybe that's why I don't think Koreans are rude.

Flotsam--- Next!!



But I got the same vibe from Koreans also, people from Kyongsan and Cholla provinces always told me that they think people in Seoul are too uptight and always seem to be in a hurry---but I don't feel that way compared to people in New York or even Boston.....

I'm implying that he might not have a "manhood".


You can do whatever you wish, I will write anyway I want about anything/anyone I want.

"Colloquial etiquette" implies when and where to use correct usage of grammar and word usage.

Are people so bored that they go from post to post, scrutinizing what people write? You guys CAN go outside during your breaks instead of sitting at your desks with your thumbs placed squarely up your bunghole. But in defense of those who are unfortunate to work in the provinces, I can understand.....poor chaps.....

If you want to edit my posts, be my guest, you can edit anything you want from my posts.

Just don't ask me to pay you for those corrections unless I know you and then I would only pay by buying a beer for the familiar editors.

In regards to drunken Irishmen, New England would be paradise during St. Paddy's Day.

For instance, in my hometown, every bar and tavern is open (they usually celebrate it on a Sunday and most bars are closed on Sundays due to "Blue Laws") and offer 50 cent drafts ALL DAY~!

So if you are looking for a REAL Irish party, come to N. England on the First Sunday in February.....

I have nothing against the Irish, they were very generous during both football and rugby playoffs.....it usually meant free beer for anyone in sight of an Irish person

Well, now there are too many apparent OP deficiencies to correct--not just restricted to expression any more either.
