wonderful accomplishment

Are you SURE? We take pride in being LAST or first in almost everything. First in teen pregnancies - last in education.

You know what Mississippi is first in though? Per capita giving.

Love my homies.

Well I still believe in Mississippi. I think with enough eating and less exercise you can take back that crown!

But that is cool about giving. It's good to be a generous people. Or it could be they're not smart enough to know any better because of their lack of education.

I actually revel a bit in Mississippi's reputation - keeps people out.

Then it's mighty effective!

We don't mess with Texas,so you leave us alone.

Actually,I hope to move to Texas in the near future,to be with my son and family,funny thing though,I see just as many fat people in Texas as I do in MS. I guess it's the population that counts.

One way to look at this is that it's a self esteem builder. Mississippi has someone they can look down their noses at. Finally.

MS has some bad REDNECKS...

You might be a redneck if:
• It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'
• You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
• You still say ' Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'
• You bow your head when someone prays.
• You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
• You treat our armed forces veterans with great respect, and always have.
• You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.
• You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
• You respect your elders and raised your kids to do the same.
You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Macuser, my brother, I guess everybody I know is a redneck.

[sweetpea]

me too.

[one love]

Though I am far from a redneck I have learned they are not so bad

[sweetpea]

I think most folk have a little bit of redneck in them.

Population of MS: 2.9 million

Population of Alabama: 4.6 million

Now, we're certainly no metropolitan population over here, but when I first learned of the population difference in our 2 states years ago, I was surprised. MS is gorgeous, IMO. It is also sparsely populated, compared to Alabama. Alabama has just over 50K square miles, and MS has right at 47K, so we're talking about extremely close in size.

So, yes, whatever you're doing to keep people out, it works. And, good for you. I don't blame you for wanting it that way!!!
