If you hate it so much, why don't you move out of the sticks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michigan is a Deep South state stuck in the great white north. Fact. But it's age old tradition in sports to ridicule the other team's fans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 12, 2008 FireCaptain, A little off subject, but where exactly is Atoka? Just wondering because I've lived here close to 14 years now and that's the first time I've heard of it. Tipton County, just north of Memphis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's the generalizations about Tennesseans/Southerners that gotten under some of our collective skins around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I don't live in the sticks. I live in Williamson County, where the only sticks are in the wooden interiors of the Cadillacs and Jaguars driven by about half the population (or so it seems). I don't like these stereotypes because alot of them come from people who have never stepped foot inside the state. I'm not saying there aren't places that scare the bejesus out of me, cause there are, alot of them. But there are some really nice places here too. Maybe if people actually held an open mind they might realize that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you hate it so much, why don't you move out of the sticks? stereotype - generalizations based on minimal or limited knowledge about a group to which the person doing the stereotyping does not belong So, what you are saying, is that you are incapable of thinking outside of generalizations? <sarcasm > How often do you cheat on your wife? The mayor of Detroit does it, so you MUST do it as well. </sarcasm > Wow, generalizations make things easy, no thinking involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
