You decide North and South off the Civil War? Well that's interesting.

I wish it'd snow more.

We eat fried chicken, grits, and cornbread, we drink sweet tea, and everyone says that they’re southerners, not yanks. I think this might be the south.

Actually, most people do something similar. Kentucky is definitely the south and it's right there on the border.

(Fucking ignorant hicks.)

It's snowing so much this year because global warming

For the most part it's pretty much true, there are cultural aspects those states share like the ones mentioned by Marik. The border states like Kentucky, Tennessee are still southern in their traditions. And not all the traditions have to do with racism, Turt.

Only the culturally inept still think the South is racist. The south is about as racist as the north in 2014, which is not very. I'd make the argument that racism in the South carries an even bigger taboo than in the North because of the dark history it had in regards to slavery and Jim Crow.

If you order ice tea and it comes out sweet, then you must be a southerner.

I think it's still alive and kicking in all kinds of places, I've been through Idaho before O_o

I don't think it's a bigger deal in the south vs the north. You can find it anywhere just as you can find people living together without issue. Hell it could be the next neighborhood over. Shit is weird.

Melting glaciers = more precipitation. It has to come down somewhere.

Racism and prejudice in general exists everywhere and will continue to exist as long as close minded people are not constantly exposed to people different from them to the point that they recognize those people as being equal. It's less a north v south thing and more a rural v urban. People living in rural areas are less likely to be exposed to people different from them and thus more likely to judge people who are different from them as lesser. Also people living in commercial areas are less likely to be prejudice as they usually have closer ties to the media, which is steadily growing less and less prejudice.

The south may have pro-confederate hicks, but north is more likely to get those people who are never exposed to other races and thus judge people differently even if they aren't as open about it. I'd say neither is more likely to harbor racists than the other.

I went to NC and was promptly asked where I came from since I didn't have a drawl. Of course I was then looked at as a city person for the same reason, even though I'm up here in the Adirondacks in a town so small that we don't even have a post office, and I have a fucking forest in my backyard.

[idlehands]

I just saw this posted on reddit. Look out Marik!



Shit's just getting worse in NC

I was watching a documentary about the Adirondacks a couple years back, I couldn't get over how beautiful it is. It reminds me of Ontario cottage country.

Yeah it's pretty nice. I live a skip and a hop from Lake Sacandaga and during the summer it's great!

During the winter... not so much.

Fall's my favorite time of year though. All of the summer campers leave, and the weather's perfect, then the leaves start to change, and hunting season starts.

I really want my state to become it's own country.

Melting glaciers = increase in ocean levels.

Precipitation =/= snow.

It can snow in July, hail in August and rain in February.

In fact, one year in August, I was in Boston and I was coming back to NY on a Greyhound bus. All of a sudden it started hailing in the middle of the fucking summer. Shortly before this happened, we saw an Amish dude riding a horse-drawn carriage.

Fucking Amish.

Global warming is just QUARTER what we thought - and computers got the effects of greenhouse gases wrong
Yet the leaked report makes the extraordinary concession that over the past 15 years, recorded world temperatures have increased at only a quarter of the rate of IPCC claimed when it published its last assessment in 2007.
One of the report’s own authors, Professor Myles Allen, the director of Oxford University’s Climate Research Network, last night said this should be the last IPCC assessment – accusing its cumbersome production process of ‘misrepresenting how science works’.

Last night Professor Judith Curry, head of climate science at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, said the leaked summary showed that ‘the science is clearly not settled, and is in a state of flux’.

Many records are defective in one way or another. Many have gaps or sudden changes, Few have a long-term continuous record. Frequently there is little sign of change during the recent decade. evidence. that currently there is little or no change in sea level. The following figure from Chapter 13, FAQ 13.1 Figure 1. illustrates this error.
It shows six tide gauge records compared with the supposed global average..
The actual current records, which are shown (rather small), disagree with this supposed trend
-San Francisco is unchanged since 1990.
-Charlottetown is unchanged from 1995 to 2010.
-Antofagasta is unchanged from 1980 to 2012
-Pago Pago is unchanged since 2000.
-Stockholm is actually falling.
-Manila is a rogue record.The following website states that the gauge is subject to subsidence
The following records from the Philippines, show no recent rise.
