Hey,

I was wondering, if their is any rivalry between states. Here in Belgium, we have two big parties of land, called Flanders and Wallonie, and there is quite a bit rivalry between us. (Im from Flanders btw )

It's mostly city rivalries or University rivalries, not state rivalries. In terms of sports, i.e.

Not so much a rivalry, more that we just feel the rest of the country, with the exception of 3-4 cities, is retarded.

Well, from what I gather, it's Alabama & Co. vs everyone else

Or Washington, DC vs. Burke's home state of West Virginia, etc.

In Chicago we used to joke about the "Cheddar Curtain" -- the Illinois border with Wisconsin. (A reference to the old Soviet Iron Curtain.)

texas and oklahoma, but like ze sid most stem from university rivalries. belgium has two distinct ethnic group with 2 diffrent languages i think the rift there is wider.

Rivalries between states are rather generically-speaking, however I suppose you could say New York and New Jersey are rivals somewhat, as well as Michigan and Ohio. In city rivals there is of course New York vs. Boston, Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh, Chicago vs. Detroit, and perhaps Houston vs. Dallas.

But the biggest rivalry of them all is what someone already alluded to, which has to do with the geographic differences between Democrats and Republicans. The Northeast, Great Lake States, and states touching the Pacific are in general Blue, while everything in between is generally Red aka retard land.

Beh, I think it's not as big as most people make it out to be.

Look, Vin, not that I think laziness should be rewarded, but stop watching everything in black and white.

The ones who value money more than the well-being of the earth. What good is your cash if you're underwater?

here is a 17 year old kid trying to tell me whats what...

grow up, get into the REAL world, get a JOB, and then see how you feel when you are taxed to death to supplement the incomes of the lazy and worthless, THEN come back here and tell me what you think

How could a Juventino ever accomplish this?

For a start, I'm not 17.

Second, I'm not trying to tell you what's what, I'm explaining why "all democrats are retards" is a load of bollocks. My statement regarding the "Retarded" states was quite clearly a joke.

Third, with the current progress of global warming extending my winter by 3 months last year, I personally would rather give up the extra cupholders in my car than let my children drown. It's not as if democrats place you under iron-fisted communist rule and beat you into 20 hour shifts that attain you nothing, either.

On a side note -- I don't understand this illusion that I'm not in the "REAL" world. I am a student, I go to school, I am definitely have mass (unless those democrat asshole communist scientists have been filling me with propaganda since birth.) I may not personally hold a job, though I'm certainly affected by all the same financial restrictions as you, given that my parents financial status is shared with me. No, I don't put my life on the line everyday as you do, however I don't see how that makes my world any less "REAL" than yours. What exactly constitutes the "REAL" world? I am just curious...

If I was forced to choose between Kenneth Lay bilking me out of all of my retirement savings or some homeless guy on foodstamps getting by on a freebie, I wouldn't be complaining about the foodstamps first.
