He might be talking about the two gentlemen I saw yesterday driving down one of the major roads in a Dodge Ram. In each of the two front stake pockets is a huge flag, I’m talking at least 10 feet by 12 feet. One was the confederate battle flag, the other was a “Don’t Tread On Me” flag. They were having to stop every hundred yards or so and holding up traffic because the flags kept coming out. The passenger would jump out, run to the back and stick the flags back in, run back to the cab and jump in. Every hundred hards.

Big ass pickup? Check.
Confederacy worship? Check.
Government is evil? Check.
General dumbasses? Check.

Hey, I’m from the south, and the most wonderful, charming, generous people I’ve ever met are from the south, but no one grows dumbasses like we do.
Two Black guys are shooting the shit. A third Black guy comes up and starts saying, “Motherfucker, motherfucker, motherfucker…” One of the two guys interrupts and asks the third guy, “What the fuck are you doin’?” Third guy says, “I’m just catching up on the conversation.”
I love most southerners (southeast United States) when we stay away from politics or religion. However, I just absolutely hate all of the dumb rednecks at our school who try to pick fights just to get a day off from school.
He literally was talking shit to someone RIGHT behind me when we were in the bleachers. He was mainly talking about my weight which really hurts me, even though I’m getting close to my goal weight now. I couldn’t turn around and deck him in his fat face because that would be a second suspension, which you basically can’t explain away when you’re shooting for scholarships.
So when I got up to leave I saw his dip can and I said, “I really hope you get mouth cancer and aren’t able to see your kids drop out of school.” Then I left, came here, and blew off the rest of the steam I had pent up.
Ah, so this isn’t about southerners or rednecks at all; this guy sounds pretty much like a garden variety High School Bully to me.
Lemme let you in on a little secret, Oedipus: High School doesn’t last forever. I know that’s easy for me to say, and I don’t mean to sound flip, but in an attempt to give you some actual advice here – Try to ignore stupid fucks like this, survive High School, get the hell out and make something of yourself.
Bullies suck, yes, but this is a temporary situation. Hang in there, dude.
Yes, agreed with this good advice. Oedipus has just been subjected to the sharp, loose tongue of an ignorantly cruel person. It’s not about necks or location or status at all.
The dummies are into the Confederate battle flag – hung in the back of their pickup trucks, painted on their hoods, and hung as draperies in their windows. It’s quite pathetic.
