They're probably related to hicks like most midwesterners and find hick culture silly but familiar.

No, but they're just as dreadfully unfunny either way.

although I don't find him very funny, apparently, Larry the Cable Guy is making $300,000 a week with his act. laughing at the rubes never goes out of style.

yeah ya got insane-backwoods-seemingly-imbred sorts that dont seem to know the first thing about anything, but even they have a sense of culture that is very unique to them.

its a two way street though. "educated folks" often come off as snobby to "hicks", hicks often come off as "ignorent" to "educated folks". i think both mentalites are equally snobbish as well as ignorent. people never like things they dont understand.

i consider myself lucky. ive been exposed, a great deal, to both of these sorts of individuals...both have a lot to offer the world, as well as their local communities...and both do. even if it is just "redneck humour" to most.

whatever.

the worlds awesome. people are awesome. as soon as people realize every culture/background/city/country/town/swamp/ has something to offer the world will be a better place.

just because something isnt what one is used to, doesnt mean its stupid. just like "being educated" doesnt always means someone is smart. i know college graduates i feel as if are, well, stupid. likewise...i know people that dropped out of HS i consider to be highly intelligent. again, it goes both ways though...i aslo know college graduates that are highly intelligent (most were even before they went to college) and i know high school drop outs that are completely stupid.

my mentality has changed greatly over the last year/two years. sometimes im still i dick, but not nearly as often. i still think, though, even dickheads have something to offer. smart and stupid assholes alike...they can sometimes keep stale situations really interesting.

being nice has bennifitted be greatly though...in more recent time. i choose to be nice now, as much as i can...when i can remember to. sometimes i do fuck up. oh well....

you sure like to rant.

i love rural minnesota. all of my moms family is from there.

people can talk as much shit about hicks as they want but i find something really endearing about people who grew up on farms.

its true.

they often build our houses, too.

fix our cars even.

hicks can be pretty important people.
Around here, Mexicans build our houses and fix our cars.

As for hicks, they gave us Sarah Palin. But if you asked them what they think about Jimmy Carter, they give you blank stares or anti-liberal jargon they heard on the radio.

That was the longest response to "Um..." I have ever seen.

And hardly any comedians are the real deal. Even Mitch Hedberg was a little gimmicky.

I always thought most hicks were the close-minded people who talk funny, make meth (or at least sell anhydrous ammonia to meth makers!), beat up gay guys, are usually racist, smell like pig shit, like to shoot things, and just are generally embarassing to the white race. Not all, of course, I'm not going to stereotype them, but I live in a hick town and a LOT of people fit that, uh, "stereotype".

And as pbradley said, yeah, Mexicans are fixing cars, building houses, etc. around here.

So...

Is something garbage just because you found it in the garbage?

True.

But there's also people that know what the hick stereotypes are and pride themselves on ignorance and stuff.
