Most people tend to greet people they know when they see them. It's hardly something exclusive to the south...

Yes, yes it was . New Jersey has always been considered a northern state. No one, in their right mind can say that Philly was a southern city.

Maybe Apocolypse is from a less freindly place in the South. People here are way friendlier than he describes. I get all kinds of folks I don't know saying hi to me and talking to me and calling police . . . er, scratch that last part.

It depends on the city you live in.

It may seem like a far more friendly environment when the town has 1000 people and everyone knows everyone I guess.

But from my visits to Texas especially I've found myself scared by most people. They don't seem too friendly, and nobody said hi to me unless they want me to buy something.

It isn't just greeting. It is whenever we see them. Unless of course there is some really akward relationship created by some girl cursing in front of some pansy guy (who probably came from the north or midwest).

The pansy guy would be a Southerner .

We Northerners don't mind when girls curse. In fact, we welcome it. People who would awkward when a woman curses is a moron and probably a misogynist.

He's trying to draw a distinction between the Mid-Atlantic states and New England. I seem to vaguely remember my colonial history teacher in jr high school saying something similar.

If you grouped NJ with the northern states on the last AP US History exam, you'd get points off.

I know he is... but New England AND Mid Atlantic are Northern states.

I don't care IF you can handle a truck well. If you become flustered because a woman has used profanity, then you are a pansy.

Good for them. I'm glad I took the test 4 years ago and got a 5 out of 5 .

Middle states are nothing. There are only Northern and Southern states. There is no Middle culture.

I don't care how many points you take off... New York is a Northern City, Philadelphia is a Northern City and New Jersey, wedged between them is a Northern State.

Sorry, there is no Mid-Atlantic Culture, no matter what the History books say. They were different until the mid 1700s, but after that became exactly the same.

And I don't need to worry about points off, I got a 5/5 on it .

Still, you haven't shown knowledge in culture of the United States as it is in the present .

Jerseyites consider themselves little different from New Yorkers, Bostonians, etc. The politics are just about the same and so are the beliefs.

There is Mid-Atlantic and New England. New England and Mid-Atlantic are both together, the South. By not believing this, it is probably you who have lost points .

Even if you want to group Jersey with the North, you can still have drastically different cultures from state to state. It is like how Texans and the Okies, Cajuns, and Floridians are different.

North and South are divided by the Mason Dixon line, hence the name Dixie. Jersey has long been considered part of the North, Apocalypse.

Thats not possible. I forgot what the exact point was, but it went something like how New Jersey isn't exactly like New York, Mass, Vermont, etc.

Um... you ever been to Jersey? Jersey is almost exactly like New York . The north is like New York City and the south is like upstate NY (only warmer and more beachy ).
