After talking to Hitler yesterday I was curious to see who really is respectful of the law and who brings up their kids properly. By no means do I intend this apply's to everone who lives in these States. There are good and bad Folks everywhere.
Southern States have the highest crime rate by far. Dallas Texas being #1 and my old favoriot Miami Florida. New England was one of the lowest. GO yahoo punch in (Cities with the highest crime rates) Its MSN first at the top of page this may surprise some of you.[:0]

Probably another attempt by the yankees to keep people from moving South, to God's country, like we did![:D][:D]
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains...No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue: and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles."-Patrick Henry

Funny I punched in just what you said and this is what the FIRST web page listed had to say......Maimi is not populated by "southerners". There are more people from NY and NJ there then there are natives.
and another web page http://www.morganquitno.com/safecity.htm
listed Camden NJ as the worst... so a person can just keep punching in until they find what they want or you can realize that statistics are skewed by who is looking at them and what they are looking for.

The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program Crime Index was used for this study. This index consists of the combined rate of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny and auto theft per 100,000 population. This study considered 331 United States Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The data was taken from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program report for 2002.
its all about pucks and bucks
I don't believe that. I've been there and I didn't see anyone that spoke english. [:0]
I'm sure there are plenty of "natives" we just don't see them often. either way its south of the mason dixon so they are "southerners". [;)]
If huntin' is a sport, then your lookin at an athlete- T-shirt
Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.

Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington criticized his department for routinely underreporting crime over the past eight years, and warned that Atlanta is actually the most dangerous city in America.
View the full story. Then see the crime rates Atlanta reported and judge for yourself.

Northerners who move South first off are usually very wealthy and live in florida 4 months a year.[:)] No Cubans up north[?] HOW come you ask[?] because we dont tolerate their behavior. I woud say if they live in the South it makes them a Southner. Please stop b/4 you really convince everyone that you really are prejudice.[V] it has become quite apparant in your post.[;)]
And Buckey, What's up w/ this Hitler BS?[:0][}:)]

Maybe you should learn a bit more about a person before you call anyone prejudice. I was very happily dateing a Puerto Rican man for 4.5 years before he was killed in a car accident. My highschool sweet heart was 1/2 white, 1/4 puerto rican and 1/4 black.... so exactly what about my past or anything I have said even so much as elludes to me being the slightest bit predjudice? You are the one who said you will not "tolerate" someone. Look at the statistics... you will see that the majority of the Miami-Dade area is Hispanic... just check out the demographics...
its all about pucks and bucks
edit:
Oh and my ex husband was a Yankee too... so yet another reason I am not and never have been predjudice.
I just expect to be treated with respect. A true gentleman knows that all women should be and so does a well raised child.
I personally could not care what YOUR kids do. Mine however have been taught to respect their elders.
its all about pucks and bucks
I have to agree w/ gagirl on this one. There is a point in Florida where the Southern Accents completely disappear.
And Buckey, What's up w/ this Hitler BS?[:0][}:)]
Ben Read My last Post Hitler was a dictator and quote from gagirl "NORTHERN MEN NEED TO BE GENTLEMAN AND YANKEE CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE> now thats bullsht Ben. who the HE!! does she think she is to say my children should not have a choice thats what the hitler BS is.[xx(]
Play Ball!!!
Flame me all you like. I really think it is funny because I see nothing said at all about the way southerners were put down FIRST....I guess it's ok to say as long as Buckey does not get his manlyness hurt. Dont expect any further responses from me to any of your comments I have much better things to do.
its all about pucks and bucks
Wont apologize for the truth

There were a few in Key West that had it, so I wouldn't say it completely disappears. It is not as promenent the farther you go though.
And as much as I know I should stay out of this I'm not. Like buckey said the war was over years ago, were not supposed to be divided, we supposed to be united, so lets forget the whole north/south thing and get back to archery...... Please.
Hey ben how about a good story, you tend to have some good ones. Any good huntin stories come to mind?
