Question for the well traveled folks on the board.


The irony here is hilarious. 500 years ago they left on the mayflower bc they were “religiously persecuted”

But in reality they were uber right wing socially awkward weird religious zealots named Puritans. Despite being outcasts and Christian fundamentalists, they founded the greatest nation man has ever known. Great and beautiful things can come out of the dirt.

England has them. Their "West Country" area is often made fun of for being redneck. Interestingly, the West Country people pronounce words like Americans and not with the "posh" accent of London. This is a clue where a lot of Americans originated from.

If you go to Outer Banks of NC or out to Tangier Island, people there sound like West Country people to this day (due to their isolation).

If you make it to Newcastle, keep in mind that is English they are puking out. Pat them on the back and call them Geordie (Jordy) and err'thing will work out fine.

Bavaria, Germany is full of rednecks. Deer stands like the roads and antlers adorn every bar. They drink beer and hate city slickers and liberal Berliners. Salt of the earth!

Yes. Go to an F1 race in Europe. They’re not quite like our rednecks but they are different from most urban Europeans.

Recently learned that roughly 17% of England lives in public housing.

Compare that to the USA:

Approximately 2.7% of Americans live in public housing or receive housing assistance. This includes 1.6 million residents in traditional public housing and 5.2 million who receive Section 8 vouchers

Northern Europe and Scandinavian countries are likely the least redneckish
I believe the Swedes consider Laplanders to be their version of rednecks. A buddy of mine married one. She dips, drinks like a fish, has no aversion to showing skin, and watches porn with a critical eye. She's also blonde, has an ample chest, a tight arse, and, in short, is hot. She was a true prize as a student at Alabama.

If you go to the northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, the call it the frontier, yes you will see rednecks.

Just like poor white people in America they absolutely love hoarding all manner of vehicles. Cars, trucks, tractors, snow mobiles all in the front yard and all not running (under repair).

The Southern German states (Bavaria & Baden Wurttemberg) outside of the major cities are country as hell. You don't need to understand Deutsche to know that the Swabians are full of reds

Does Maine and Nova Scotia have baws?


I spent three years in the 80s in Northern Maine. They have baws, blue collar, har working, beer drinking guys, buys they are little more standoffish than our baws, and not as likely to catch hands at Sonics.
