Dairy Farming is quite a big thing here as well. I've been to Kansas and I thought it was a pretty nice state. I'd like to go back one day.

Glad you liked it and hope you'll be back one day.  Finding beauty in Kansas is all a matter of perspective.  I personally love the land, and nowhere on earth can produce sunsets that compare to those of Central Kansas, in my opinion.  I live in the middle of the state where the hills meet the plains, so we've got a lot of bluffs and genuinely beautiful country here.  I hate it that so many think of us as nothing more than flyover country.

Interestingly enough, I may well be in Florida next year for Graduate School.  I'm in the process of applying to FSU.

What beauty or uniqueness is there to Kansas that you cannot find in Nebraska, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, or eastern Colorado?

I understand where you are coming from J-Mann. A person should be proud to be from the state in which they were born.

All this stuff about "pride" and "heritage" is silly. People can have pride in whatever they want and I can think other people's pride is silly.

I can understand why you don't have any pride considering your avatar.

lol, well...considering the country was founded in my state, I think I have the right to more pride then you do...but anyways...

p.s. I do have pride in that we kicked some southern ass in Gettysburg..

I'm not sure what's so silly about it.  I'm very proud of Canada and British Columbia.  It's natural to develop a certain affection for the place you grew up in.

Pride is fine with me....I just think having pride in Kansas is like having pride in a toothpick.

And I think you're being insulting just for the hell of it, which is a bit uncalled for.

The country was NOT founded in Pennsylvania. The first colony was Virginia. And it could be argued that Virginia founded the country. I mean they did have the first Thanksgiving in Virginia, way before Massachusetts had it.

Okay, and the first person pooped in Virginia too. Our country was founded in Philadelphia and our first capitol was York, PA.

Be proud you wrote the Declaration of Independence in PA. Their is so much more colonial history outside of PA. The only part of the nation the British even really cared about was the south. That was their breadbasket.

Of course. I would say the most "history" in the country is probably in Pennsylvania though. Philadelphia + Gettysburg.

I proved my point about state pride. I baited you and you went for it. I started knocking PA around and you replied about the history of Pa. I agree with you on what you said and I applaud you for having pride in PA.

lol not at all. I never said there was anything wrong with having pride, I just think it can be annoying at times, especially southern pride.

I do shows covering HURRICANES...they hit the south....I meet people.

I guess I've never really asked, but I just don't get how a 16 year old has his own radio show...

We've been asking that the whole time. lol

It's just on the internet, so it's kinda fake.

Methinks I'm the only other straight forum member who also found it amusing Wink

I'm too innocent to think of any bad mental images O_O

Okay, so I guess there are at least a few cool straight members on this forum.  Actually, I'm sure there's more than just a few....it's the idiots who post about their own ignorance that bring down the rest of the crowd.  *coughstatesrightscough*

I dont care personally what you are. Just please dont go flaunting it around like it's something to be proud of.

Being a redneck is nothing to be proud of. Please don't go flaunting the history of southern segregation in our faces either! Thanks.

Redneck does not equal segrationist.  You're supposed to be an open-minded liberal, but you're making a very close-minded generalization there.

When did I say that? It's one thing to have southern pride, it's another to wish the Confederacy was still in tact.

We Pennsylvanians prefer the real Ocean City in New Jersey!  Smiley

Maybe you folks in the Southeast do, but out here we prefer OCMD. Beaches are nicer in Maryland/Delaware.
