Since i am the only person on NSG that lives in South Carolina, i want to know others opinions on my state. Anyone, anyone?

Are you the only one from South Carolina? Are you really?

Mwahahahaha!

Well, it's probably better than Texas*... which isn't saying too much.

* - Remember, Austin is not a part of Texas. It just happens to be in the same geographical region and still has the Texas capitol building for some unfathomable reason.

How do you know you are the only member from SC?

I like Myrtle Beach.

Stephen Colbert is from South Carolina.

I went to Newberry College, so I lived in SC for a few years. That being said... the no alcohol sales on Sunday in most of the state, and the liquor stores closing at 7...damn Blue laws! The influence of Christianity in the day to day runnings of the state make me equate it to the Taliban. A little theocracy inside the U.S.

Half of my relatives live in South Carolina. It's a nice place, except that you can't buy alcohol on Sunday.

Seemed like a nice place when I was passing through. Of course, I was only passing through...

Really? Why's that?

I live in South Carolina!

how dare you make such false accusations!

Never Ever Lie!

Liar!

How could you lie about such a thing!

You Liar!

Really? Why's that?
It's the law there.

I like Myrtle Beach.


Me too :)

I hate the rest of the state though.

Sumter National Forest is great, too.

Columbia sucks, as does Spartanburg and Gaffney (yeeech).

North Myrtle Beach rules.

And the peaches are fantastic when in season.

I like Charleston, SC. I also like SC lower taxes. Here in NC we're getting killed with them!

You live in the south of the Carolinas... yes.. yes you do! :)

*mumbles*

Actually, I live in South Carolina too...Columbia.


Well, it's nice geography-wise. Not too many natural disasters in my part of the state. The people aren't as stupid as everyone makes them out to be, although I have known quite a few Confederates, and if they are, I simply attempt to enlighten them :D

I have a lot of problems with the state though, especially the education system, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a perfect society.

How are the taxes?

How are the taxes?
Pretty light compared to most states in the US (except Delaware and Alaska, for instance).

How are the taxes?

Well, the state sales tax is 5%, but my county has it at 6%.

Income and property tax I'm not currently dealing with.

Cool, I may move to SC then! :D

I really like South Carolina's flag. When I was in Iraq we had a South Carolinian engineer company attached to us (122nd Engineers), and they were really cool. All of their vehicles had stickers of their flag on it, and they flew their flag outside of all of their buildings. They even had a version of their flag that was red instead of blue. The engineer's corps' color is red, so it was rather appropriate.

I stopped in Beaufort SC for a few days. That was a nice place, except the locals pronounced the name of their town wrong.

It cant be worse then Indiana, the devil ran away from Indiana cause it was so boring... not sure what that means but i said it anyways

Cool, I may move to SC then! :D

Well, unless you move to Myrtle Beach (the metropolitan residence is about 340,000, but there are 14 million visitors per year) or Charleston, it isn't all that exciting. Where I live, the only natural disaster we ever have to worry about is tornadoes, and it only snows about once a year, sometimes less.

I could give you some more in-depth information if you want =P

I like North Myrtle too. Pretty much, most of the "Grand Strand".

South Carolina is beautiful! A bit hot, but the people are friendly! It just takes a bit of time to get used to some of the accents! You don't see as much of the stars and stripes as you do the red one that looks like a union jack...

Yeah. Except for the beaches, there isn't much to see here, but the weather is really nice and the people aren't always as stupid as they are made out to be =(

I love Myrtle Beach, I have been going there pretty much once a year since I was 5.

lol, that's ok. I dunno where I'll end up. My family is in NC, but Liz's family is in TX. and yea. All that fun mess.

SC has lower taxes then NC?

I know virtually nothing about many states, because in NC you learn only about NC (So much for American History, huh?). All I know about SC is some of its history and that it is a largely Christian state, and that is it. I went to Myrtle Beach though... when I was two... :(

The good thing about NC though is the fishin'... and the woods... but the mosquitoes are terrible... :headbang: *itchy itchy itchy*

Is it true that Marilyn Manson can't perform there though, due to doing inappropriate things with an American flag? I heard that somewhere... also he can't play in Canada for that reason... :confused:

Er... I hate to admit it, but I did kinda laugh at your highest mountain when I saw a picture of it. Sorry.

I like Myrtle Beach.

Absolutely! I usually go every year.

However... the only thing about SC I hate is... They really, really live off of tourist dollars, but it's perhaps the only place in the country I've ever experienced such "anti-" crap. Specifically, anti-"yankee" or new yorker. :(

Er... I hate to admit it, but I did kinda laugh at your highest mountain when I saw a picture of it. Sorry.

There are funnier ones. The tallest "mountain" in Michigan is literally a largish hill.

This is true. I just kept wondering why you guys attached the name mountain to what is obviously a foothill.

A pride thing, I'm guessing. On a list of "highest points" it wouldn't look very good to have "Arvon Hill" instead of "Mount Arvon" on a list. Even if it would be much more accurate.

Well, it's probably better than Texas*... which isn't saying too much.

Well, that can be said of most states =P

South Carolina seems like an okay place. I can't think of anything bad about it, and it looks pretty nice. My knowledge of it is fairly limited, as I haven't seen it for myself since I was 9 and even then it was just to drive through on the way up from Georgia to New York.

Hilton Head is fantastic and SC has a lot of pretty places. Stop with the whole emphasis on palm trees though, no one cares, you don't look tropical.

you can't buy alcohol on Sunday where I live either

you can't buy alcohol on Sunday where I live either

You live in Connecticut too?

I live in South Carolina!

how dare you make such false accusations!

Never Ever Lie!

Liar!

How could you lie about such a thing!

You Liar!

I dont think you guys get along very well

You live in Connecticut too?

nope, sorry, I live in Minnesota

I go to South Carolina for college (http://www.winthrop.edu/), so I'll probably be here for a while, but I'm from Ohio.

I came in with kind of a prejudice that Southern people are racist hicks who own 40 different kinds of shotgun and can't speak proper English, but I have yet to find a proper redneck at my school. I used to be across the street from one, pickup truck, drank whiskey straight from the bottle... true redneck except that he didn't own any guns that I saw.

I still haven't seen any racists here, and I'd be a magnet for them, given that half the girls I'm likely to be seen with are black.

Well... from my experience and what I've heard, the beaches and the like here are a lot of fun.

I went to Newberry College, so I lived in SC for a few years. That being said... the no alcohol sales on Sunday in most of the state, and the liquor stores closing at 7...damn Blue laws!

GO BLUE HOSE FOOL!!!!! NUCK FEWBERRY

have you ever been to Lexington?
BTW Lexington is one of the most conservative counties in the US, having not voted democrat in an election since 1944(Franklin Roosevelt). (1948 we voted for a Dixiecrat, Strom Thurmond)

Well, it's probably better than Texas*... which isn't saying too much.

TEXAS IS THE BEST STATE.

Since i am the only person on NSG that lives in South Carolina, i want to know others opinions on my state. Anyone, anyone?

How can people not love a state that is in Dixie, was the first state to secede from the Union and produced the great American J Strom Thurmond?

SC is almost as good as TX.

TEXAS IS THE BEST STATE.
meeeh yall are full of it

TEXAS IS THE BEST STATE.

I find it odd that someone called "The State of Georgia" is yelling out "TEXAS IS THE BEST STATE!"

:confused: :eek: :headbang:

I've lived in Texas for twenty years, what made me choose 'The State of Geogia' as a name? I don't know, nostalgia perhaps; I grew up in coastal Georgia.

Zo dat wat die om geeft? Georgië is een bundel van debielen.

Translated from Dutch[?]...

ok here it goes:
So what who cares? Georgia is a bunch of morons.

Goed im slechts wijsmaken. Er zijn sommige mooie mensen in Georgië.

Worldlingo.com was way off. I am not going to attack SC as I like it (and Georgia is on higher ground).

Well im only joking. There are some good people in Georgia.

This is what I can make out from worldlingo.com and my knowledge of words that can be mixed up; I am afraid I never learned Dutch or German, only Spanish, French, Latin and Greek.

Yeah my Dutch is pretty rough. Georgia is ok i guess some nice people. I dont lke UGA much.
