All varieties of southern accent sound better (sexier) on girls than any variety of northern accent.

It's hard to think of a southern accent that doesn't automatically make a male speaker sound ignorant or pompous.

Nobody sounds wiser than a grizzled old small-town Maine fisherman.

Southern accents have French, African, Scottish, English, Irish, and Spanish histories. Depends on which accent you're talking about.

one can never be too sure

as for new jersey, can we establish something right here and now? New Jersey : North :: Florida : South, which is to say, New Jersey and Florida are both so atrocious within their own spheres they are considered uniquely terrible anomalies and not representative of their own region

Southern accents can be pretty bad, but Northern accents are terrible. Southerners usually sound dumb, but Northerners invariably sound like assholes. The weirdest accent to me is Black dudes from Texas. It sounds almost like a Southern accent, but its unintelligible.

They make a new one of these every year. They add another person in animal costume each time, but the script stays exactly the same.

lol loving retards 'we're going to secede but we're not going to be unified in the war effort we're just going to be giant humongous babies until the very bitter end.'

quote:

Historian Frank Lawrence Owsley argued that the Confederacy "died of states' rights."[207][208] The central government was denied requisitioned soldiers and money by governors and state legislatures because they feared that Richmond would encroach on the rights of the states. Georgia's governor Joseph Brown warned of a secret conspiracy by Jefferson Davis to destroy states' rights and individual liberty. The first conscription act in North America authorizing Davis to draft soldiers was said to be the "essence of military despotism."

This is what the place I grew up in looked like in 1920's,Hardburly coal mining camp in Hazard,Ky.


If I can find old pictures of where my mom grew up I'll post them.

Southern Accents-It all depends on where in the south the person is from if it sounds nice or godawful. In southeast,Ky it's a hosed up fast mumble thing.
