My summary of the state of South Carolina.

After living in SC for about 6 months I have noticed a few things that piss me off, so this is my little bitching thread about the state and its fuckups.

1. Anything that says "Buffet" has a huge line behind it. Why? Because this is the single fattest state I have ever seen. People flock to these feeding troughs and the people there are so fat its crazy. I am a big guy, about 230lbs. I saw a kid who couldnt have been more than about 13 or so, he was at least the size of two of me. And he had his plate filled up with fried crap and deep fried lard balls.

2. Sunday drivers are out all week long. The people in this state drive so fucking slow. Im not asking everying to drive like a bat out of hell, but at least going the speed limit would be cool. There is a bypass that is 55mph, EVERY time I get on it I get behind someone going 35.

3. Any girl over the age of 18 who is single is required by law to be knocked up. There are a few rebels out there who dont have kids but honestly I kid you not most of the girls here have kids, its nuts. Black, white, rich, poor, hell even bible thumpin baptists are popping out kids the day after their 18th birthday.

4. The civil war is over I promise. However there are still many people who arent quite sure about it. For example there is even an option for plates for sons of confederate soldiers or something like that. Is that something to be proud of? Yes I am related to someone who lost a war. Thats almost as bad as prancing around claiming to be french.

5. Horses. Dont get me wrong, I like horses. But this town I live in has gone slightly overboard. The town has more polo fields than it has bookstores. In town there is a horse statue on every corner, seriously. One day I will break out the digital camrea to show yall how bad this really is.

6. You are not a cowboy. Wearing tight jeans, a button up shirt, boots, a cowboy hat, and a big belt buckle does not make you a cowboy and in no way is it "cool" or "hip" to dress like that. But some people just dont understand. Yuppies at the tractor supply store are over running the actual farmers and people who need things from stores like this, but hey lemme tell ya, they are cool in their carhart overalls in the afternoons after they leave their white collar job.

7. Local newspapers....shoot me now. The local news here consists of 2 pages of national and international news crammed on those 2 pages followed by 8 pages of local news involving the birth of bessie the cow and the plans of a local librarian over the summer. No one cares about this crap.

8. Mustard based bbq sauce is not real bbq sauce, nuff said.

I am sure I can think of more stuff but I just had to get a few of these things off my chest. Sleep is good.

Is that something to be proud of? Yes I am related to someone who lost a war. Thats almost as bad as prancing around claiming to be french.

:lol2: Funny as hell!!

You pretty much summed up all the southern stereotypes. Where you from originally?

I moved here from Georgia, and compared to South Carolina, Georgia could be a northern state. Well im off to go hang out at the tractor supply store in my tight GAP jeans and Abercrombie flannel shirt and straw cowboy hat to go check out how much a new toolbox for my honda civic will be.

:lol:


-edit- not laughing at you, laughing WITH you. That's pretty stereotypical!

ill grab one of my grandma's papersand tr5anslate it onto here next time im down there. hers is about like that.

rofl that's a gerat list though.

GOD I have such an inner passion for hating that F' state well mainly Charleston SC. I dated my girlfriend for just about 3 years who lived and went to school there. I was there all the time taking flights like I was paying for the subway. Every time I went down there I just hated it more and more. The people seemed so fake, stuck up and ass backwards. There partys sucked they didnt kno how to have fun. Well needless to say we broke up and I just will never go back there again. haha sorry

:icon16:

:lol2: That's one thing I will never understand about rednecks. Glad its not just a Texas thing.

About the fat thing. Houston has now become the fattest city in America. Go figure, that's all I see around here are a bunch of fat asses who take the elevator instead of the stairs. It takes too much effort to walk the stairs. Well no fuck, b/c you're out of shape. You complain about it taking effort to walk up one flight up stairs, but it sure doesn't take a second thought about getting up off the couch to grab the bag of chips and dip chip after chip.

I feel for you on the driving thing, all the old farts in Florida are out of control. Or is it to much in control? I'm not really sure yet.

Dude, I hated SC too. I was locked up there in my uncles house for almost 2 months. GOD DID I GO CRAZY!!! I made like 5435876435897 posts and became a pinball wizard, and perfected the art of "minesweeper". Charleston SC is sooooooo laaaaammmmmeeee. The drivers there are shitty too.. thats where that dumb bitch totaled my T Bird. fuckin hoe.

About the buffets... OMG SO TRUE!! fuckin AAAA.

whoever hasnt been to SC, if you read that list, you can just skip that trip cuz you already know what its like. Oh and by the way, they have like, "the worlds biggest lake ever dug by man" and thats something for them to be proud of. Fuckin confederate bastards. Its only because they made black men dig the whole thing. What a shitty thing for a state to be proud of.

1. Anything that says "Buffet" has a huge line behind it. Why? Because this is the single fattest state I have ever seen.

North Carolina is exactly the same. Which is why I refure to go anywhere that has a buffet like that.

2. Sunday drivers are out all week long. The people in this state drive so fucking slow. Im not asking everying to drive like a bat out of hell, but at least going the speed limit would be cool. There is a bypass that is 55mph, EVERY time I get on it I get behind someone going 35.

North Carolina has it's share of weekday Sunday drivers, but not as bad as you say SC is.

3. Any girl over the age of 18 who is single is required by law to be knocked up. There are a few rebels out there who dont have kids but honestly I kid you not most of the girls here have kids, its nuts. Black, white, rich, poor, hell even bible thumpin baptists are popping out kids the day after their 18th birthday.

Not too many young girls with babies here.

4. The civil war is over I promise. However there are still many people who arent quite sure about it. For example there is even an option for plates for sons of confederate soldiers or something like that. Is that something to be proud of? Yes I am related to someone who lost a war. Thats almost as bad as prancing around claiming to be french.

That's absoulutely hilarious! Some people are proud of that war, to them, thats one of the few things the south did, other than farm. (I had a die-hard southerner tell me that one time)

5. Horses. Dont get me wrong, I like horses. But this town I live in has gone slightly overboard. The town has more polo fields than it has bookstores. In town there is a horse statue on every corner, seriously. One day I will break out the digital camrea to show yall how bad this really is.

I dated a girl who had horses. Was a great time.

6. You are not a cowboy. Wearing tight jeans, a button up shirt, boots, a cowboy hat, and a big belt buckle does not make you a cowboy and in no way is it "cool" or "hip" to dress like that. But some people just dont understand. Yuppies at the tractor supply store are over running the actual farmers and people who need things from stores like this, but hey lemme tell ya, they are cool in their carhart overalls in the afternoons after they leave their white collar job.

Again, some people like to do that. I wear a cowboy hat when I'm towing a trailer, makes you feel important.

7. Local newspapers....shoot me now. The local news here consists of 2 pages of national and international news crammed on those 2 pages followed by 8 pages of local news involving the birth of bessie the cow and the plans of a local librarian over the summer. No one cares about this crap.

Charlotte Observer has only a little section for international stuff, all the rest is local.

8. Mustard based bbq sauce is not real bbq sauce, nuff said.

Never heard of BBQ sauce made like that.

Disclaimer- I'm a southerner, but I do not believe in slavery, imprisonment, or any thing derogatory to any race that southerners are often stereotyped for.

Only thing good in SC is Lake Murray. Good bass fishin :)

Texas is pretty big with the Confederate thing too, also it seems its cool now to be called a redneck with all these stupid stickers i've been seeing on heightend trucks that have it on their winshield.

Wisconsin has so many fat people... you dont know the meaning of obese my friend.

I've been down there before and I don't care if I ever see it again...

hey i live in south carolina and i think it sucks and let me tell you about the public school system if you think all that stuff you said was bad we are 49th in the US for education and were PROUD of it. Inez Tenabalm(secretary of education) just announced that we are improving although we are still 49th and that she is proud of or education HAHA!!! but i have to say that i do go to the best damn college around COFC!! oh and i graduated high school with 300+ people and i would probably say that half of the girls in my class were pregnant or already had a baby or got pregnant or out of school! but i am 20 years old and not pregnant! lol! or want to be there is a think nowa days called contraceptives!! LOL!:wink:

soo true! at least in the south it stays warm so people might get their ass off the couch and go for a walk or something. people here think once the temp hits 60 it's time to pack up and head indoors for 6 months. all those fat people sitting around all winter. just nasty. i've seen people who are 3-4 times my size (i'm 115lbs). good god people, how could you let it get that bad.

Wow, 20 and not pregnant....im impressed. And aparently your one of the few people in south carolina that has driven past the state line if youve heard of contraceptives....i think they are outlawed in sc.

As a horse person, let me tell you, if you see a chick comin off the polo fields run for your damned life. They are nuts. See up here we have a problem with too little land for horses, which is why I am considering moving to PA, or the carolinas. There is a lot of land for cheap(by NY standards). Once the polo fields and farms are gone, you'll be crying for them back, you'd be amazed to how much money a horse facility can bring in to town/county.
I have one question, which of the buffets are the best.
P.S. I do the cowboy thing thats cause it's part of who I am. If you ask how can you be a cowboy in NY dont friggen ask.

SOmetimes I still chuckle at the thought there are modern day cowboys running around amongst us. What happened to spurs? And side holsters?

Anyways, you guys have done Global tourism a great service with this thread, it's another place I have no desire to ever visit.:licka:

I spurs are for weaklings, wusses, vertically challenged, lazy bastards, and those who can't ride. Side holsters will come around when I get around to getting carry lisence and weapons.

they pay good money for bud from syracuse, ny down there, gooooood money.
after reading this, i think know why.

I feel for you on the driving thing, all the old farts in Florida are out of control. Or is it to much in control? I'm not really sure yet.
Im not sure which but here in Bradenton every other month we get one that ends up driving through a store or into a swimming pool. I personally beleive there brains get sunburned in the summer down here.
a friend of mine had to go to south Carolina for work. He said he went to some of the bars there and almost everygirl looked like :icon16:

Driving 35 in a 55?! DAMN!!!!! they'd never last in massachusetts.....never.....

I actually like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I use to go there often for family vacation when I was younger. Other than the rest of the sucks. IMO

i lived in south carolina for 16 years and i would say your the most stupid self centered son of a i have ever met. if you were important enough for people to care for you. you would relize that south carolina is hard working honest people making a living and working hard. and then when some fucking city boy/girl gets there they dont have a clue of what hard work is they get sad and miss mommy and daddy if you dont like the state shut up and move. as for the whole confederate thing yea i dare you to say that to any real redneck see what his reply is.. soo well in short cry me a river jump in it and drown :) have a nice day

Aye, to all you guys (Yes, I realize sterotypically it should be "Yall") that dont like SC, just take the hillbilly highway back north with your freaking U-hauls and STFU. Simply because, We dont care how you do it up north...




Kidding aside, I've lived in SC most of my life (Rock Hill, just below Charlotte NC), so its home, there's problems, but show me a place other than Utopia, that there isnt any, and I'll move there.

I know, I went Morrisville State bout 1 hr from 'Cuse, boy that was drug capital of the world. But because it was poverty ridden area too. I hate to sound whimpy but it really was traumatizing being there and seeing what I saw.
