:rofl: Skunkape - thank you for a hearty laugh! If you really knew me, Tootsie, you would know that, although I may be opinionated, I am in no way, shape or form bullyish, prejudicial or condescending. I'm giggling - you could be the first to ever call me a bully.
If you really, truly feel like that about my posts on this message board, then that is due to the nature of the 'net in general - there is no way, except for these silly 'emoticons', to express the emotion and true sentiment behind the voice. Body language and the associated gesticulation in banter over a heated topic such as this and face to face HUMAN interaction, are what is missing from online conversations and what makes them potentially dangerous. Misinterpretation is the number one cause for disintegration in online dialouge - this is what is happening here.
I am bowing out although I still stand by my original interpretation of what Yippie posted from the commentary of that ignorant man.

That is just gross! Okay, maybe some guys would like the video...that would be a completely different forum than Sowal. Get OVER it, Tootsie wouldn't be caught DEAD in a mud pit rumbling with the likes of you or anyone else. Sorry....this just ticked me OFF!:angry:
I never heard the above 'rebel' song and I'm a southerner. It's kind of a mean song. I didn't think Indigo Jill's post was bullyish in the least, simply stating her opinion. 
We did hear this before every filmstrip at school though all through grade school. This wasn't the version we heard of course but this is a good one because it shows the North and South uniting in this song! To me this is a sweet song and much more representative of the South!

Here is the song of southern patriotism I associate with growing up...and it's perfect because there is no association with humiliation or looking backwards instead of forward...it's just about loving a place.

I just wish someone would get a copy of the old GPB signoff and post it on YouTube. This video is a good attempt to recreate it, but the original was more beautiful...and had this wonderful sequence of an arial shot coming down the Chattahoochee.
I that song! 
I sunbathed on those rocks in the middle of the Chattahoochee as a teenager! Thanks for the sweet reminder, Rapunzel.
Here's another grayt one! Ain't nobody lookin' back again! Do you like this song?

Thank you, ASH, for expressing my feelings so well!All right y'all. I'm gonna step into the line of fire to take just a bit of heat off the true locals if I may. Hope this turns out to be funny BTW.
I was born in St. Paul Minnesota. Alright, you found me out. What does that make me? Once I got out of school, this boy ran as far North as the state would allow me as I had it right up to my ears with any sort of populated town. Some may think this betrays me now being way down here in Sowal, but this is exactly where my heart needed to be to feel like I was at home. I don't want a bunch of high rise condos or government welfare systems keeping the local economy alive either. I will pull my weight and kick in for any of my neighbors in need, maybe more than many locals would.
Yes, I am an implant. Other than that crazy Northern accent that I still don't think I have, I doubt you will easily pick me out of a crowd. I'm not interested in standing out. I am interested in blending in. While I understand this will never allow me to ever be labeled a local by a local, I respect who you are, what you represent and only ask that I be allowed to live in peace in what I now call home. I realize that you got here a couple hundred years before I did, but you know what, that makes you an implant too.
My favorite analogy for this issue is Nazi Germany and its swastika. Below is your quote with Jews substituted for black Americans, Nazi for Southerner and swastika for flag...
I am no way shape or form saying or even implying that anyone who likes the Rebel Flag is racist or a biggot- so don't say that I did, please...
****************
Yes, it is a sensitive subject, but seeing only the perspective of Jews is about as narrow focused as seeing only the Nazi heritage perspective. Hundreds of thousands of Germans were killed, flying that swastika, so if you think these ancestors aren't offended when people tell them that the swastika is hateful toward Jews, you have another thing coming.
I know of at least 5 of my ancestors who went off to fight in the War, and never came back. I don't fly the swastika, but I can understand why some people, choose to fly it
