How many of you Dislike rednecks?

[duroc5088]

If I see a big filthy pickup truck with a Confederate flag and a gun rack in the rear window, country music blaring, and a guy with a mullet and handlebar moustache wearing a red baseball cap and a plaid shirt over a wife-beater...

hey, how did you know what I drive and what I wear?

 

[DoctorGiggles25]

Don't really like them, but damn some of them are HOT!!!

Thata about sums it up for me too.

Dirk,
Don't wear too much plaid; ppl will think you're a lezzy.

To be perfectly honest, despite the possibility that it makes me look like a prejudiced coward, I have to say that the true honest-to-god redneck makes me distinctly uncomfortable. If I see a big filthy pickup truck with a Confederate flag and a gun rack in the rear window, country music blaring, and a guy with a mullet and handlebar moustache wearing a red baseball cap and a plaid shirt over a wife-beater... I keep my distance. He may be a perfectly nice guy, but too many fag bashers look just like that, so I'm going to err on the side of caution and stay away from him as best I can.

Wow, Robert....

I wouldn't have had the courage to type that here, but it's pretty much exactly how I feel, as well.

Living in FL, trust me, 'they' are all around (especially towards the center of the state) But, then again there's lots of 'us' on
the coastline, and rarely do the two cross paths....socially, at least.

And, not to offend anyones' feelings, but over the years the closest I've come to receiving a 'fag bashing' (3 or 4 times) have
all involved the pickup/confederate flag crowd.

And even though some *can* be really hot, (think 'Sawyer' on 'Lost) I keep my distance so I can also keep my teeth.

I have no issues with rednecks in general. However, I do have issues with rednecks who are also homophobic or bigots. As long as they are open minded with regards to race and sexual preference, then they can park as many cars on blocks in front of their house (or trailer) as they want without offending me. As a matter of fact, a buff shirtless redneck in tight jeans bending over a car is somewhat of a turn on.

I mean, what other group of guys are as hot to watch in the summertimes as they pull into the Hardees for a bacon burger?

And the obsure reply of the week award goes to.....


Then again, I know *exactly what you mean.

Love that 'special sauce',

Having a redneck as one of my best friends, I'll proudly say I'd choose them over artsy-fartsy New Yorkers any day. A redneck is loyal to his friends and will go to any lengths to help them when they need it. (And regardless of whether it's trendy this week or not.)

Dirk,

Oh, man. Is that the problem? Every third shirt in my closet is plaid.

Having grown up around rednecks, cowboys and truckdrivers, I have to say they're some of my favorite people. These are the guys who have hearts of gold buried under a skin of leather. While it's completely uncool to show your emotions or feelings to one another, it is understood that if you need anything--anything at all--all you have to do is ask and they're right there to help out.

I posted a newspaper article last year about a local farmer who was very ill at harvest time (I can't remember what caused the illness now). This man's neighbors pulled out of their own fields and made sure their friend's harvest was completed. For them, there was no question about it. It was the right thing to do, and they all knew it would be done for them in a similar situation. That is why I am proud to be from here and thankful of the values I learned growing up out here.

This is the golden rule of any good ole boy. We (the good ole' boys) would sell everything that we had to help a friend in need, and more than likely we would never get a thank you, most of the time they just say, " why don't you come over one night and we'll have some steaks and some beer." that is a thank when it comes from one of us. It doesn't matter how broke we are, if one of our friends is in need, we will find a way to help them out, no questions asked.

What's a red kneck? Sorry, i wasn't listening

 

[thatcrap]

As long as they aren't trying to bash my head in with a baseball bat, we get along just fine.

This thread has gone to two pages already without a single mention of Jerry Springer. I'm losing faith in you people.

now that's funny right there, I don't care who ya' are.

Oh, the KKK? I love you're American social groups! In the UK we just get together and play chess - but over there you gotta go the 'whole-hog' and set light to crucifixes

 

[duroc5088]

that's the problem with the redneck. sure, they'd give the jockstrap off their big nuts for another good ol'boy.

but they'd put a beer bottle in it and use it as sling shot if ya ain't one of them.


any redneck is fine one-on-one. I mean, anyone who has ever touched one between his legs knows that much.

its when they flock together that rednecks git right scary.

Well I don't agree with all of this.

I don't have a friend one that isn't a redneck, and I have never in my life heard a story of them doin' any gay bashin'. When we are all together we just like to have fun and drink, ALOT.

You know I am amazed at how many people have replied to this thread with stereotypical views on rednecks. Most of my redneck friends know that I am gay, and they could care less, oh sure I catch hell for it all the time, but i got a buddy who has cancer and we also kid him about not touching him cause we don't want to catch cancer. It's all in good fun and it helps him to cope with from what he has told me.

See i don't know if I am a redneck but I do have redneck tendencies. I am a cowboy that grew up in the redneck society.

So red-knecks are basically Newport-boys - only they don't wear Addias yeah?

 

[duroc5088]

^pretty much

One of my best friends could be called a redneck, and he is awesome.

Rednecks are no different than any other group in society. Some are amazing, and some just suck.

That just about sums it up

I really disagree. I am as far from a redneck as possible (I won't even eat deer, much less shoot one) but I have never had a problem getting along with the local Arkansaw rednecks. Maybe if someone has a better-than-you attitude the down-home folks might resent it.
