Which is Better, The American South or North?

Delaware is considered a Northern state, correct? I vote with Delaware.

No sales tax in Delaware.

Recently, the crunk sylings of Lil' Wayne are really good too

They are?

Cairo, Illinois was know (is know) as the lynch capitol of the world because of all the black people that were lynched there during the Great Migration.

It is hard to argue against ZZ Top (you can have Elvis), but we have Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.

I still spring for California -- which was the only place for a very long time where PhD graduates that were black could find a job.

I thought Lil' Wayne was dead. Unfortunately, I appear to be incorrect.

Let's take stock of the accomplishments of each:

The South: slavery, illiteracy, Jim Crow, lynch mobs, obesity, people like in Deliverance.

The North: the lightbulb, the automobile, motion pictures, recorded music, football (first game was in NJ), hockey (invented on Long Island), nearly all modern highway safety improvements (NJDOT being the leader in the nation),



Everyone, please make lists of your own, and I will add them to this original post.

hockey as we know it was invented in montreal in 1875 at mcgill university, long island... not

[mpjh]

The hocky puck was invented in Long Island. Before that Canadians played hocky with frozen
squirrel heads.

proper hockey was invented in Europe.

just so all you fucking retards know, California is part of the south. There is nothing north about it. Seriously...go look at a fucking map you retards. Oh, and it's also the worst state in the world.

[Army of GOD]

In defense of the south, we have Pantera, Lamb of God, and Mastodon. Cannibal Corpse if we can claim Florida. ZZ Top, Allman Bros, Elvis, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Fats Domiono. Well, hell, we pretty much invented rock music, jazz, and the blues.

Faulkner and Harper Lee, and I think we can claim Twain.

I'm a pretty big fan of southern cooking.

Also, EO Wilson is kinda cool.

Finally, a worthy opponent. I give you the music. Recently, the crunk sylings of Lil' Wayne are really good too (and the dirty south hip hop of Outkast).

However, we have Run DMC, Biggie Smalls, The Roots, Black Star, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Nas, and Jay-Z. Hell, even Eminem.

Also, as great as Cannibal Corpse is, it is completely nulled by the existence (and greater fame *shudder*) of both Limp Bizkit and Creed. Sorry, mate. Florida is honestly a state no one really wants to claim.


Moving on, we have Kurt Vonnegut, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Auster (a Jersey boy, even), Sinclair Lewis, and of course Edgar Allen Poe.

The horrendous music made by Eminem in no way represents the views or opinions of the North. Please enjoy the show.

And clubbed seals between periods with their hockey sticks.

not as we know it today, natives were playing it on grass when europeens arrived, etc ... but seriously montreal is the hometown for it, please read history, and it was not squirrels head that they used before the puck was invented it was frozen piece of shit, for real ...

[Snorri1234]

Proper hockey is on the grass. Also, the greek were playing it for some reason.

Because we're awesome, of course. We invented all that shit (or else we stole it from someone else, then killed them all and destroyed the records so we could pretend we invented it).

Obviously.

Anyway, at least it isn't played with pussy-ass protection and helmets like ice-hockey.

We played everything naked. Either we were secure enough in our masculinity, or didn't care if anything slipped. Based on my understanding of ancient Greek culture, it was more the latter than the former.

no proper hockey is on ice... hockey may be the best sport ever

Curling doesn't count. (Though it actually is a GREAT sport to watch, believe it or not.)

I don't really see a connection between curling and hocky. (even ice-hockey.)

Yeah, no. It was Long Island. Please read history.

[Army of GOD]

It was the Canary Islands.


Or Madagascar.


Possibly even Siberia.
