Of course, living in NYC (sorry Elok ), it is hard not to feel pride at the greatness of this place. Unlike Texas, we don;t have to say anything (eve if we do) we just KNOW we are better than you.

Common NYC disease. Don;t worry Slowwly, we New Yorkers like to segregate from overtly Texan types. I mean, who knows what types of bugs you third world types carry..... maybe hoof and mouth? or Hoof in mouth?

ALBANY! That madhouse of disfunction!! Why not Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, or Houston! (I love you Sloww!..wait, No I don't...)

I don't mind if you dislike NYC Elok: some people just hate this city, just like some people just hate Kubrick's 2001. It's a matter of tastes. (I mean, just because NYC's tastes are superior doesn't mean we cant accept those of others.. )

Small states tend to have more state pride becuase otherwise they would get ignored.

Top Ten Cool Facts About Murland

10. State sport is Jousting (Jaguar Warrior knew this, so does rah)

9. State motto is flagrantly sexist ("Manly Deeds, Womanly Words")

8. State song incites assasination of the President (Maryland My Maryland, written after the 1861 Baltimore Riots)

7. State flower, the Black Eyed Susan, does not bloom until August. So when you see the Preakness winner get a blanket of Black Eyed Susans in a couple of weeks, they are actually daisies with black shoe polish in the center. (A college friend used to do this every year.)

6. Part of Maryland's western panhandle is only two miles wide. This is the product of meticulous surveying which gained the original colony a couple thousand additional square miles at the expense of Virginia.

5. Elizabethan English is the local dialect on Tangier Isalnd (Talk about inbreeding )

4. Home of the world's largest estuary (Chesapeake Bay)

3. Home of the world's best seafood (Direct consequence of #4)

2. Home of the 2002 Mens Basketball Champs (and many more to come )

and the number 1 cool fact about Murland:

1. Maryland is the only state with absolutely NO natural lakes. @#$%^&* Finns stole 'em all.

GePap, once again let me say, it's Northereners just like you that caused the War, at least from the South's viewpoint.

I've seen the other state flags. They suck too. Doesn't change the fact that Maryland's flag is just too crowded.

America should hire some consulting firm to redesign all state flags. I saw some site with suggestions for Georgia's flag. They all looked great and worthy of adoption. Especially the one with Ray Charles in it. You wouldn't believe how proper-flag-like a flag with a gigantic Ray Charles in it could be.

Have you been here much Sloww? cause I am a freaking centrist compared to many New yorkers, and quiet and respectful compared to most

Don't worry Sloww, if another war starts, we will be glad to kick your asses and burn down your houses again! (while we rascally NYkers sympathize with the "slave-owners" cause we make our money bankrolling your immorality).

Keep showing your ignorance.
Again, 2 or 3 states had slavery by 1/3 of the farmers.
The rest, much, much, less.

Labor unions in general? I don't know, nor do I care. I do know where they are not welcomed though....

Come on Slowwly, don't worry, we don't feel any inclination to go burning down Southern cities again. After all, one round of "northern agression" seems to have taught you southerners the correct lesson.

Well, thats 1/3 too many. And more then 1/3 of the population believed that slavery was alright, seeing how many southerners showed up at the recruiting stations.

uh oh. LoA found some stats.

http://web.ask.com/redir?bpg=http%3...slavechron.html


Ask jeeves isnt too bad

quote: Total number of slaves in the Lower South : 2,312,352 (47% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Upper South: 1,208758 (29% of total population). Total number of slaves in the Border States: 432,586 (13% of total population). Almost one-third of all Southern families owned slaves. In Mississippi and South Carolina it approached one half. The total number of slave owners was 385,000 (including, in Louisiana, some free Negroes). As for the number of slaves owned by each master, 88% held fewer than twenty, and nearly 50% held fewer than five. (A complete table on slave-owning percentages is given at the bottom of this page.)

That should refute the first point made by Slowhand.

and heres another cool fact

quote: For comparison's sake, let it be noted that in the 1950's, only 2% of American families owned corporation stocks equal in value to the 1860 value of a single slave. Thus, slave ownership was much more widespread in the South than corporate investment was in 1950's America.

Come on, real Texas patriots don't settle for mere flag waving! One of my students has a 20x15cm Texas flag tattoed on his back, and a ~12cm lone star on each bicep...

I did feel pride. We had a pretty good state with low tax rates. We'd look at California and laugh. But unfortunately my state is being invaded by Californians, and consequently is turning into a mini-california.

So I can't say my pride is as good as it used to be. Our state is pretty much like every other state now. Eventually they will get rid of prostitution because it is immoral.
