Terri,
There are several of those snake handling churches between here and where you live.
Although we know how absolutely absurd they are, they are there and they truly beleive what he wrote.
It isn't a joke, it is what they beleive.
I guess I would be S.O.L. too considering I am also Catholic.
It sure doesn't help our image.
First everyone thinks that because we are from Tennessee we must be barefoot hillbillies and now that just adds to it.
We are all barefoot, hillbilly, snake handling, inbred banjo players.
wow, we have some much to live up to.

Hello Jimmy,
I know that there are several snake handling churches here in TN. And I don't think it really does anything to hurt or help our image. I think it hurts the writer's image, but I don't think it does a thing to mine! LOL People who judge me without knowing me aren't worth my time, and they aren't worth worrying about.

And I want you to know that Alias47 and gardenmum are my friends. They were just giving me a hard time. Please do not take what they said seriously! They simply like to pick on me. Believe me, they get their fair share back! :p

For starters, I'd recommend leaving your European slant on American politics out of the discussion.....;)
 
I agree with CAV, best to leave political slams off this site. First you bash with a mispelled word and now you want to swing some politics. "Tread softly young man....tread softly." :eatsmiley
 
And all I have to say to you Terri is.....

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
 
Alias47

You know..
I live in the hills of Tennessee so I do have the hillbilly part down.
I am actually sitting here at the computer barefoot....uh oh two down.
I have 37 snakes so I am a snake handler too (just not venomous snakes or as a religion)
Damn, I guess all I need to do now is start taking banjo lessons.
:wavey:
 
Squeal Boy!

Fact: 9 out of 10 hillbillies agree, watching Deliverance is the best way to learn about the banjo! :roflmao:

Nobody hates anyone here. That is not an issue, and we certainly don't hate you. We just prefer not to be thrown darts at, is all. If you had not intended them as darts, then maybe a different way of presenting what you say would be beneficial. ;) Remember, written words can be "flat" sounding and choosing words to express a joking manner go a long way.....also, the smilies help this out too. Also, we don't make any habits of correcting spelling mistakes as we all make them, but if one is used in what appears to be a bash.....well, that is different. I personally don't care if you make spelling errors.

You have to understand that many of us know each other and can get away with what may appear as "strong" remarks to each other, but that is simply because we HAVE come to know each other with time and have learned to "read" the pun intended even if it is not apparent to a "newcomer." So, simply said....choice of words go a long way.

Hope you are enjoying the forum and enjoying your corn snake. They're the best. :)
 
sometimes i fear words can get "lost in translation".i wasn't tryin to offend anyone.the drivel thing, well heres the story...few weeks ago i described my ruby as being "stroppy", i was talking to an american, who ,does't matter, he did not know what stroppy was, this is why i thought i would give some form of translation, but i think i put my foot in my mouth and my words were taken out if context.
then someone started with the "pip" thing and i thought it was a bit offensive, so ithought i had to defend myself, thats when the mud slinging started.
i know you dont hate me, but you can if you want, is what i was sayin.
us yorkshire men are sensitive, and proud of our working class heritage... :eatpointe
