The thing is that it's debatable whether or not this guy is actually a redneck.  He's originally from Evansville, Indiana, started his career off designing semiconductors (IIRC) for Texas Instruments, and now is an engineer at Lexmark.
How could he be anything but a redneck?

Yeah I don't get how redneck = Southern. There's farmboys all over the place.

That redneck bullshit is completely stupid.
I really, REALLY, hate people that are constantly trying to mix their religion with America.
Oh, "I treat veterans with respect."
Why don't you serve in the army and become a veteran yourself, mothefucker?

You might be a redneck if ... you eat at gas stations and love it.


:P

I love how I alternately am a redneck/Southerner and am NOT a redneck/Southerner on Languish depending on which angle is more insulting at the time.  :cool:

...and I agree it's totally incorrect to conflate the two.

Although I'm quite certain the guy that sent me that didn't actually write it, he did a USMC tour in Vietnam. ^_^

He's old and fat now tho.  :blush:

Is there a place where you can look up the state of origin of the military personnel?  That would be interesting.

It doesn't matter. The rednecks that join the army stop being so the moment they join.
Well, is a long process that ussually takes more than one enlistment and more than one deployment, but the army is very succesful at opening their eyes to the wide world.

not even funny in an ironic way. Just silly. I think buddy is trying to "take back" Redneck, as if you could turn it into a non pejorative. good luck with that.
:p

No that means you are gay.

Don't worry.  I'll always think of you as a repressed homosexual.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Anyone who calls you not a redneck/southerner as an insult suffers from delusions. :(

Anyway, I suppose we are all rednecks today! :unsure:
