Get over your envy and learn to enjoy your (obviously) miserable yankee life. Leave us and our traditions alone!
I don't have southern envy. I don't want to be southern.

I'm tired of all the rednecks thinking they are owed the world and all us northerners do is talk smack about them.

So one person said they don't like Boston and it is filled with rude people.

Well I know plenty of former southerners who say the south is filled with haters and bigots and white trash. Doesn't mean everyone is.

Whatever....tell it to someone who believes the bs. Just look at all the southern bashing on this thread. I am over it. Get a life and stop wishing for a southern one!

Which traditions? Slavery, lynching, Jim Crow, terrorism, etc? Or do you just mean that well known love of SEC football and eating deep fried foods?

Don't flatter yourself, us Yanks aint thinking about the south near as much as you guys are obsessed with how much you hate us. Everything below the Dixon line is an afterthought to us.

Being a son of the south myself, I can more than attest that your southern "heritage" does all the demeaning and making you look bad that is necessary.

Sure wish y'all would stay up where you belong then...because it seems northerners are moving south in way more numbers than anyone is moving north...

Of course what reason is there to want to move north?

Well when I was growing up I was always considered an uppity Negro (to be polite), so being an embarrassment to your south is certainly no disgrace from my perspective.

Yanks are moving south because it afford a whole new business opportunity. The South is traditionally last in everything except alcoholism. The South has not been cultivated yet for business. Think about the booms.

East Coast, then Midwest, then West Coast, then Southwest, now the Southeast (except Florida).

The South is the last man standing, representing a steadfast effort against progress. Finally, the South is changing. And all of you southerners, "the times they are a changin."
