The only useless BS i'm picking up is from you. So you're telling me that historical fact, numerous professional linguistic maps, religious demographics by the Census Bureau, and political make-ups, are not indicators, especially when all four point to not southern, are also BS? Tell me, where's your contradictory evidence showing these maps and facts to be wrong? We've given plenty of reasons why Maryland is not Southern. All you have given is your opinion and a line created two hundred years ago to not even represent a division of North and South. Oh..and you've hijacked this thread, as has your friend.

Last defense i didnt know i was playing defense?? You are playing with opinions and facts the facts are that goverment classifies Maryland as southern buddy and your reason for them doing so is that they dont want to mess with the mason dixon line which also puts Maryland in the south is hilarious!! And about your duck theory Richmond, Alexandria, D.C. and Baltimore look alot alike explain this please..

I think alot of ppl have an inferior complex with being southern because once a place is not stereotypical southern all of a sudden ALL the historical facts just up and disappear.

Where are your FACTS? I'm not taking a side if it's a southern state or not. Honestly I haven't ever been there. You don't seem to be able to come up with any facts however. What makes Maryland southern?

I do know H.L. Mencken was born and lived in Baltimore, and he despised the south.

Its like Virginia saying its not southern because the state under it (North Carolina) has more southern traits if this pattern keeps going one no1 will be southern any more!!

No, you are just spewing baseless BS just to justify the biased opinion against the FACT that Maryland is a Southern State......

It would be a lot easier for you and your few "Maryland ain't Southern" opinionated friends to openly admit that you don't like the state of Maryland and do not wish to have an association with Maryland and refuse to accept the Fact that Maryland is a Southern State......

But for shock value ya just keep dragging the useless spewing of anti-Maryland tirade of making looong script of nonsense excuses to justify useless opinions against the FACT that Maryland is a Southern State....

No one is Hijacking this thread because Everyone agrees to the FACT that Virginia is a Southern State however since Virginia is part of the DMV Maryland is also going to be including in this because it is part of Virginia and DC which Maryland is also a Southern State like Virginia.....
