Idiotic question about West Virginia

Yet you claim to donate to an ultra liberal PC org. like the AAC...

Yep. It's all choss and scary locals. Especially WV. Don't bother. Go to Pilot instead. :D

Wow. Just Wow. Let's be honest, California's just a bunch of pot-smoking transgenders and West Virginia is a load of moonshining racists. Any other questions about states? I hear Florida's just old people and drunk college kids, and Texans are all asshole oil-barons. Not to mention that people from New York are all just Hippies that never left their apartment buildings. Or the fact that everyone who lives in Idaho must grow/be a potato. And I'll be damned if I forget that anyone from the Midwest eats corn for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Last, but certainly not least, let's get a hand for Mississippi, the state sponsor of the KKK.

also the cabins at snowbird just burned down so better stay away. no showers or shitters.

Damn rednecks probably broke a glass of moonshine then dropped the lighter while they were smoking meth.

Society continues to advance. Equal pay for equal work; don't use the n-word; gays are people too, etc. I don't think it's too much to expect that attitudes change as well. What worked for your grandfather doesn't always work now. Hard truth for some to accept, I know.

Like I said upthread, I'm all for free speech. But it won't kill you to act and speak politely and consider the feelngs of others.

Must have wing night at the tittie bar tonight on the brain.

Here's the scenario I have in my head: Shitty rental car breaks down, possibly in the snow. No cell reception. I knock on the door of the shack from Deliverance. I forget that I look a) vaguely like an immigrant and b) vaguely like a lesbian. Out-of-work coal miners and/or meth-heads set their dogs after me while screaming, "THANKS, OBAMA." My body is fed to the pigs. I totally realize this is hysterical BS, but as climbers hopefully we can agree that fear is not always rational or entirely within our control. So! Can anyone recommend some good spots along the way ( goo.gl/maps/WYootLB71xC2) for food/gas stops? Or mention places I legitimately should avoid? Zero offense meant -- this is about my dose of crazy, not WV's. -_-

Your 'shitty scenario' didn't happen yet and it may never happen, so why not travel to West By God Virginia with a non-judgmental, positive attitude and then see what kind of experience you have. After you travel there, sure, now you can pass judgment on the place based on your experience.

Here's a different scenario..... maybe you'll get a rental car upgrade and climb the best route of your life. Plus all the snow will be gone and it'll be splitter weather with double rainbows every day of the week. You'll run out of memory on your phone cause you took so many pics, then you'll start to search the local real estate market cause you had an epiphany about living the good life in WV in a cabin in the hills. You pick up a banjo for the first time in WV and youre a natural, and in 3 years your bluegrass band is touring the world and you sold a million records.

Good Luck! Remember....Have Fun and Be Positive!

Considering the feelings of others is one thing. Bending over everytime someone claims to be offended by something is another. Particularly when someone claims to be offended for some other group of people...

What I love most about this thread is when white people not used to having stereotypes used on them get angry and counter by applying stereotypes to the offending party.

Note references to Mexicans, purple drank and other stereotypes that have nothing to do with the original post. Please stick to stereotypes about lesbians and brown people.

Thank you.

I'd be more worried about Chapel Hill.....

Thank you

I'm offended that you're offended because you perceived I was offended.

actually it's 57% of republican voters; not quite the same thing.

Yes it is.

I've already tried explaining this to Tim. He's impervious to logic.

More importantly than Tim's Drumph baiting:

How was the trip?

Polidicks!?! I thought this thread was bad when we were degrading poor white people, really took a turn for the worse didn't we?
