I am from the south, and I have been into "Yankee country" and you know, we are NOT more friendly in Texas, anymore than New Yorkers are rude and Obnoxious. I have found, that a little courtesy goes a long way, and that regardless of where you might be from, or where you are, poeple will treat you exactly as you treat them. Show a little respect and it will be returned.

I have found this to be true across every cultural/racial/religious/economic/national/or any other boundery I have EVER encountered.

Every one.

Predudice, means pre-judged.

Try to learn. It might hurt at first.

you're all yanks to the rest of us :P

PREACH it brotha! Joannaism/Jimism lives!
In all seriousness though,

RIGHT ON!

Excellent advice.

Oh, and never assume that all Northerners are like me. Apparently, I'm a bit of an oddball. :)

You would have to be a liberal Northerner to post something like that. ;)

I never thought I'd say this but...I wish I was Chinese.


Than I could sit back, call you a foreign devil and sit happily in my little fantasy. However, as I'm not, I'll just have to shake my head and recite a nice litany of names for other countries (Frogs, Ivans, Brits, Dagos...)

For every name there is an equal and not particulary opposite name.

What's someone from New Zealand called?

As far as I know they are called "New Zealanders."

Besides the obvious... I was looking for a derogatory name.

Naww.

Hard to believe, I know. *nod*

But apparently, most people don't look at a pool of mud as an entertainment tool.

Umm...Zekes?

Not good at derogatory names.

sounds good to me.

Well you could go with Kiwi. It isn't really derogatory, but it's certainly slangier than New Zealander. I think your best bet for mocking New Zealanders is always to say they screw sheep.

Besides the obvious... I was looking for a derogatory name.

Not really derogatory, but I think you're looking for the term Kiwi. (If it's really derogatory, you're looking for, most Aussies I know would recommend "sheep shagger".)

Never seen a Llamma right.

:D

Don't listen to this fool. Our North is inhabited by unprincipled and Godless savages.

Whereas our Southern territory is inhabited by relatively friendly, pious savages. :rolleyes:

Kiwi's. Yep, like the fruit/bird. But it's one of those wierd ones where if other New Zelanders call 'em it, it's ok, but if anyone else calls 'em that, look out.

And ok, here's one for you... My mother's family is from Tennessee, my father's family is from Boston, I was born and raised in California. What the hell am I? To make things more interesting, I get the twang when I'm pissed, and I make damned good biscuts and gravy from scratch. Gravy belongs on almost every food group.

bc im from the northern virginia suburbs of dc i get to tell ppl i'm southern b/c i live in VA or northern, b/c i can freaking walk across the bridge. best of both worlds. aaah.

Gravy belongs on almost every food group.Just becasue the cat crawls under the stove to have it's kittens, doesn't mean they come out muffins. I'd say you're a southerner of some sort, unless you use the words tard and wicked in which case your a cross breed between your parents.

Here, here, Friend!

I'm a Southerner as well, I was born to a Hick Mom and a Redneck Dad, so I'm in a rather interesting prediciment. I straddle the fence when it comes to politics. I love guns, and if I get an invitation to my Lesbian friend's wedding, hell, I'd be angry becuase I wasn't the best man.

When it comes to racial issues, I love people based on who they are. I also hate people based on that principle, it doesn't matter what race you are, if I like you, I love you - if I don't, then I probably hate you.

There are a lot of folk here who certainly aren't progressive, it's not because they are any less intelligent, or any more hateful, it's simply becuase that's what they were taught. But they should still be given respect, instead of being thrashed with childish name-calling and hateful remarks, becuase all that will do is push them further and further into regression, much less willing to listen to whispers of change.

After all, if you kick a wild animal (and we're all animals) to make it do what you want, it will attack. If you treat an animal with kindess, it will see that the change of being tamed is not a bad thing.

Or something, I don't know - it's 3:00am.

I call Kiwi's that all the time, I also call them sheepfuckers... that one doesn't go down too well most of the time.

Kiwi, sheep f*cker, etc.

Right for the new/slow I am actually from New Zealand.

I don't find 'kiwi' offensive at all, and have heard it chanted at sporting events. When an Aussie calls you a 'sheep shagger' you simply point out that they have 3 times the number of sheep we do. They can usually only come back with the whole 'but you have more per capita!!' thing. Fail.

They could point out that New Zealand has more sheep than people. :)

New Zealand has 4 million people compared to Australia's 20. NZ has 50-odd million sheep compared to Australia's 120-odd million (Those sheep numbers are +/- quite a bit)

Wow! I didn't now that australia had more sheep than people too. What a bunch of sheep fu*kers! :D

My numbers were pretty good :D


China and India have about one half of the world's sheep inventory with China's total believed to be more than 250 and India's about 200 million, both totals up sharply from a decade ago. In contrast, New Zealand's sheep herd, at less than 50 million head, has dwindled to its lowest level since the 1960's; in Australia the slide has been steeper with the inventory at less than 120 million head is down at least a third from more than 175 million head in the early 1990's.
