I also lived in Mississippi from 2002-2007.


I've always lived here. That's why I also have little patience for the bad parts of the south and southerners.

Exactly. You don't know me, and I don't need to prove anything to you because I wasn't the one making that claim


Okay?

Lots of places in this country are awful for a lot of people. Using a blanket term like that just for the south is dumb


The south is especially bad in nearly every way.


Don't know why you keep acting confused. I told you your assessment about me was wrong and you replied back in a sarcastic manner. If you don't believe me you can either disprove it or drop it

Its worse because reasons!

Or I can continue to believe it based on your responses and behavior, which is what I choose to do.

Feel free to disprove it, though!

There are honestly too many to choose. The way our states roll back abortion access, the way we attempt to curtail localities that put into place protections for gay people, our extensive use of civil forfeiture and high rates of incarceration, poor educational attainment, etc

But you are protected from a lot of those things depending on your income, gender, and race, so it can be pretty cool. There are also other things that are good about the south. But it is pretty bad overall.

I don't understand what was dumb about what he said? I think he's correct that your experiences probably play a large role in how you view the south. The fact of the matter is, there is a lot of awful shit here.


So the only way to think the south is a good place to live is to have a completely sheltered life?

If you don't think that sounds dumb as fuck then I don't know what to tell you

I mean, yeah. Living a sheltered life would make just about anywhere nice to live. You are hidden from all of the bullshit, which is why it's called 'sheltered.'


Yea? That's not what I was asking

I have (adopted) family in Tupelo. Actually, one of the original families that settled the area. We probably know a lot of the same people.

You made the assumption I lived a sheltered life (based on absolutely nothing). I simply replied that that wasn't the case and you replied sarcastically which tells me you're not going to believe anything I try to tell you. You said you had made up your mind about me from that short little exchange so why would I bother trying to convince you of anything?

And what exactly do you want me to defend? I'm obviously not going to be okay with some of the crap that goes on here, but that would be the same for anywhere. Listing all the good qualities would take forever and it would be obvious to someone who had visited before

You have a huge complex about something, I'm not sure what. Don't bother convincing me of anything if you don't want to. Other people, including other southerners, are curious as to what your situation is and why you like living in the south. Maybe you want to talk to them so you don't look like, you know, "The south is good because reason!" but if not that's fine too

No complex here

I was just correcting something you said and for whatever reason you can't let it go

Judging people is fine. The issue is when you incorrectly judge them and cant admit it or realize it.

It's already let go, though. You can try to convince me otherwise, like I said several times, or not. Either way I don't care

Living in Mississippi was such a culture shock coming from Austin. And even being in the liberal bubble of Oxford, there was still so much racism, homophobia, and religious fanatics.


Yeah, you were in the oasis of civilization around here and like you said even it's still bad. I'm from Tupelo, which is somewhat civilized (relatively and isn't saying much), but also still has a loooooong way to go.

Wow dude I live about 25 minutes away from you. Small CE.

I live in a community college town; currently attending. One thing I've noticed is a tooon of young liberals who are pushing back hard against Southern culture, usually to a somewhat obnoxious degree. Total cartoon characters.

I got made fun of because I pronounced Saltillo like "sal-tee-yo" - I didn't know it was "sal-till-uh"


Yeah I can see why you would call it that. It's either Sal-till-o or Sal-tiller around here.

While I think it's good that there's a more liberal generation out there I hate that they can be obnoxious about it. Maybe they'll grow out of that part hopefully.

I saw those people in college while I was there, too. But then over time a lot of them fell right into the 'normal' way of life around there. It was strange. I've seen these changes being displayed on Facebook over the last 15 years.

Yeah I really do wonder how long term it could possibly be.

The one I could not understand for the longest time was "Pillow Academy" - everyone would say "pilluh"

Other words like mirror would confuse me because people there say it like "meer-uh" and 'mira' is Spanish for 'look' - which I'm using to people saying often. Just a lot of the language threw me off. I couldn't understand people.


I say pilluh. Winda for window too. It's just a thing we do down here lol. I lived here all my life and my dad's side of my family are pretty damn redneck and I still have trouble understanding some people.
