A redneck is sub-class/species of white trash. They generally hold positions in jobs that have them work outside (giving them the redneck aspaiktis described) and tend to stick to these rural areas living in the most isolated of areas...

I would put it the other way around, 'white trash' is a subspecies of 'rednecks'. Redneck just refers to unsophisticated rural folk. White trash, are usually (but not necessarily) rednecks who exhibit various immoral behaviours.

Personally, I like trailers, though I'd prefer to buy my own land to stick it on. Not here, though. Hurricanes, tornados, and snakes, oh my!

My grandma lives in a double wide, and it is rather nice. One of my best friends lives up in Arcada in a trailer (a rather seedy place) that sits in the middle of 20 acres of uninhabited woodland.

Well, like I said, it's my opinion. And my opinions are based upon my experience. And considering I've only lived in the Chicago area my entire life... well... there you go. I'm hardly a well-traveled objective source of information.

Can a storm be officially designated as a tornado without touching down at a trailer park?

What a silly question Sloww... of course not

but... if a trailer park is destroyed by a tornado, and channel 2 didn't get it on tape, did the trailer park really exist?

As someone who lived through Black Tuesday in Wichita Falls Texas may I say Sloww. And no, if it doens't hit the trailer park it's not a tornado!

The tornado normally touches down in a number of areas but the trailer park is filled with the worst constructed homes which have no real foundation so the damage is always worse. It's as simple as that.

I also heard that the layout and construction of the homes attract tornados, I am not saying that it was true. Yet, it could seem reasonable that large trailer parks, which are low lying and generally allow for currents to easily travel through/over/under, could cause minor changes/influences in weather patterns and attract such things a tornadoes.

No clue what you are talking about.

No, "live-in maid" was not a euphamism: middle class or rich people in Panam usually hire some young poor person that comes lives in their house and does all the cleaning and laundry, and sometimes the cooking as well.

When I was in Panama I noticed how stratified Panamanian society was. There was an upper class composed of land owners, educated Proffessionals, and (yes) expatriot Americans who had money and then there were poor landless peasants who had to scratch out a living some how.

The whole time I was there I kept running into Americans who had retired and moved to Panama because they could live like a king with a huge house and servants on just social security and a normal pension. Plus there was the canal zone near by so they could get a taste of America any time they wanted.
