Plan B Forum

Never, ever, have I seen anyone suggest that a southern accent makes someone unintelligent. And manners and terms of endearment have nothing to do with regions. I couldn't watch any more than that because he is buying into the very stereotypes he claims to be ranting about.

And oh, threatening me with your guns because of some perceived bias about your accent? Blow it out your ear, buster, no wonder this country is a freaking disaster. GUNS ARE NOT THE ANSWER TO EVERY PERCEIVED SLIGHT!!!!

Well bless his heart; that poor boy has been carrying that great big chip around on his shoulder for so long its just worn his mind down to a stump.

So who's Pratt Chatter anyway?

I think this is what you're trying to get at wes...

And in many ways it's admirable...

I wonder if any of the leftists, and makers fun of 'Mericans, on the board, have watched that video?

maybe they did watch it this time since you (italics) posted it......

Why would some country and western singer's views be important enough for "lefties" to view him?

I can just see them all sat around at the Marxist/Leninist society of Downtown Buttfuck, Idaho, meeting saying; "You know, I was a fairly committed Maoist until I heard Billy Joe Buckhide sing!"

Yeah, well I still say "y'all", and "gonna"...

And in our house, we still say Grace...(occasionally....)

"Bless us Oh Lord for These Thy Gifts That We Are About To Receive From Thy Bounty through Christ Our Lord Amen..."

(Yes, that may seem Catholic, but it works... )

We're from North California, and South Alabam',...

And little towns all over this land...

Country folks can survive...

Without breeding with folks from outside the county too!

It's simply a strawman used to take pot shots at "lefties" and claim they are "anti-amuriken."

We've said grace in my house all my life. Still do. So what????

LJ - channeling your inner wesw?

It seems Blue Bloodsish actually... oh.... yeah. And I still don't know who Prat Chatter is

We usually say grace on thanksgiving; sometimes Christmas and easter as well. And some of my best friends say y'a;;. Accents are accents, and reveal nothing about intelligence or lack thereof.

However, somehow I'd bet if it were an urban black accent being discussed (Can I axe you a question?), some of those chiming in with Mr. Prather might well argue that the perception of that accent as being used by stupid people is true.

It's not nice to call people semi-colons

I know, but the shift key is broken so full colons were out of the question.

This discussion is giving me a full colon...

We'll expect to see the results soon then, eh?
