Jeff Foxworthy has made a fortune off of redneck jokes. It’s time to set the record straight. The term “redneck” is derived from the description of many millions of farmers, construction workers and other ordinary folks who work out in the hot sun all day. They are usually stooped over lifting heavy objects or clearing plows or digging out drainage ditches. This results in a lot of sun hitting the back of their necks, i.e., sunburned necks. The term actually has nothing to do with intelligence except as an elite Liberal’s way of looking down on “the common man”. Here is the real version of the Redneck Test ....

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, “One nation, under God."

You might be a redneck if: You’ve never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say “Christmas” instead of “Winter Festival."

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You’ve never burned an American flag.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe and you aren’t afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: You’d give your last dollar to a friend. :

So you are basicly saying that anyone who is religious AND patriotic are red-necks?

Oh....I see this thread has been moved to the jokes forum. Probably the best place for it.

You might be a redneck if you:

Are still mired in poverty because you actually believe the conservative line that tax cuts for the wealthy are good for you.

Have lost one or more relatives in yet another stupid foreign war.

Mistakenly believe that flag worship has anything to do with patriotism.

And, so on.

And, <deleted> does this have to do with Thailand, anyway?

Is this term only used by americans?

Stupid

I should have read further before moving it into the jokes section. I thought it actually was Foxworthy quotes. (sorry)

Boon, I respect your right to an opinion, and even agree with some of them. But please keep the political crusades confined to bedlam.

It IS funny...and true:

You Might Be A Redneck if you've been married three times and still have the same in-laws.

get divorced, they are still legally brother and sister.

You Might Be A Redneck if you got stopped by a state trooper.

He asked you if you had an I.D.

And you said, 'Bout What?'

You Might Be A Redneck if you think Genitalia is an Italian airline.

You Might Be A Redneck if you can burp and say your name at the same time,

you're shur'nuff a redneck.

You Might Be A Redneck if you think Possum is "The Other White Meat"

You Might Be A Redneck if you you think a quarter horse is a ride out in front of the Wal-Mart.

You Might Be A Redneck if your huntin' dawg had a litter of puppies in the living room and nobody noticed.

You Might Be A Redneck if you think watching professional wrestling is foreplay.

Ah, so you have been to Tasmania

You might be a redneck if: Despite the death of your puppy you "stayed the course".

Clem pulled over the car by the side of the road and showed Jed where he'd first had sex.

"It was right down there by that tree. I remember the day plainly. It was a warm summer day. She and I were so much in love. We walked down to the tree and made love for hours," Clem recalled.

"That sounds wonderful," said Jed.

"Yes. It was okay until I looked up and noticed her mother was standing right there watching us."

"Oh my God! What did her mother say when she saw you making love to her daughter?"

"Baaaaa..."

You might be a Redneck if you believed in the following:

Remember, this was virtually impossible

Iraqi constitution seems likely to pass

Recall that it would take many months and many thousands of American lives simply to conquer Iraq.

Recall that, even if we managed to get control, the Iraqi people would never regain their sovereignty.

Recall that, even if we did give Iraq back to the Iraqis, it would simply be a puppet government that ruled.

Recall that, even if the government ever allowed elections, the Iraqi people wouldn't be interested in participating.

Recall that, even if the Iraqis did want to vote, the violence in Iraq would prevent them from doing so.

Recall that, even if elections were held, they would be so corrupt as to be worthless.

Recall that, even if a freely-elected government was formed, they would never be able to keep control.

Recall that, even if a new Iraqi government did manage to run things, they would never agree on a permanent charter.

Recall that, even a charter acceptable to all government leaders was written, the Iraqi voters would never approve it.

Recall that, even if voters did approve a new constitution, it would be without much participation of the Sunnis and would therefore be meaningless.

And now we have this today from AP/MSNBC.com:

Oct. 16, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's constitution seemed assured of passage Sunday despite strong opposition from Sunni Arabs who turned out in surprisingly high numbers in an effort to stop it.

The constitution's apparent victory was muted, though, by the prospect that the vote result might divide the country further.

Apparently now that the constitution, with a great deal of Sunni participation, is being approved, it is BAD NEWS.

Let's just say that it's not a worst-case scenario we're looking at here.

UPDATE: The fact that some extreme statements by the "pro-invasion side" are the only things the "anti-invasion side" can point out in response to a list of their basic beliefs simply underscores my point.

Despite overly-optimistic predictions at some points (such as the 'they'll greet us with roses' theory) the basic position of regime change supporters has been "this is going to take some time".

The basic position of anti-regime change folks has been "this will never work".

who cares....why bother....

I work with a guy who's from Louisville, Kentucky, born and raised. He says that rednecks are f@ckin sh#tbag, racist f#cks who fly the cuntfederate flag at Nascar races and wouldn't mind if lynching laws in the USA were recinded. Hillbillies mare where it's at. Just good ole country folk who make a liitle shine and keep to themselves.

The term actually has nothing to do with intelligence except as an elite Liberal’s way of looking down on “the common man”.

Interesting Boon Mee has abandoned his initial OP attempts at glorifying rednecks and has decided on joining in on their ridicule...

btw. Nice pics, Boon. Welcome to the pile on.

Tell your bluegrass friend, he don't know sh1t and neither do you. The hanging laws were "rescinded" a very long time ago.

re·scind Audio pronunciation of "rescinded" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-snd)

tr.v. re·scind·ed, re·scind·ing, re·scinds

To make void; repeal or annul.

If he or you think "hillbillies" are better, you don't know much about them either. More inbred mf coming from them there mountains than any rednecks. If he's slagging rednecks then he's no southern boy for sure and should just leave as he's dammm sure no "good ol boy" and should be ashamed.

who cares....why bother....

I don't care.

He did leave. That's why he works and lives in California now. He has always insisted that Kentuchy is not the South, but in the Midwest. Hillbillies may be backward and inbred, but at least they're not likely to bash your head in or call you a gook lover if you happen to have an Asian wife or girlfriend.

What was the name of that movie about them Hillbillies, oh yea, Deliverance. Just having fun and it really doesn't matter to me as you'll find good and bad ANYWHERE in the world.

are you a redneck if you believe movies are reflections of reality? based on a true story ...etc etc

It's a shame that in this PC world the only people we can make fun of are white folks, more specifically rednecks.
