Yes but jokes belong in the general forum.
But debates about how to talk politically correctly about hillbillies, preferably belong elsewhere - at least in my opinion........

Perhaps the hillbilly's friends said: "I can do that!"
Hillbillies, Rednecks, Hicks...all basically synonymous terms....as a former member of this class, and still in large part related to many of them. I have been transplanted to the New England area, so I can actually read now. It's easy to joke about this group, they make it easy. Anyone who can't laugh a little needs to rethink their priorities. Still waiting to hear what the friend;s last words are 🙂
Originally posted by Cheshire CatI know, my previous claim was ridiculous. I was momentarily infected by the righteous indignation of the debates forum.
I hate to disagree with you bbarr but most "hill-billys" are in the same position that I am financially and I have managed to get a decent education so so can they. This is a self perpetuating state; once your in it you teach your children and they in turn teach thier children. They have the same chances as everyone else.
