Cliff notes?

**sleepy03** · 08-09-2008, 12:39 AM

I'm sure Putin has seen deliverance, there ain't no way he wants to fuck around like that.

I've been to the country Georgia. it is a shit hole in every sense of the word. If you've ever seen Behind Enemy Lines with Gene Hackman and Luke wilson, the scene where wilson is running through the town and the buildings look half demolished, this is what the town of Poti, Georgia looked like. I was there just after they joined the UN and we were there to start U.S.-Georgia relations. one thing can say about them is them fuckers can drink!!! I was fucked up by lunch time on one of their navy ships. between 15 of us we went through 19 bottles of wine, in an hour. when they do a toast, it isn't just a sip of the glass, you have to down it in one swoop. I was so drunk after that we went into town and I was chasing the cows and chickens on the beach. just google USS Nashville in Georgia and you can read about why we were there.

Not Only is Putin controlling it live from the Olympics but he's already been talking to Gee Dub about it there as well. Here we go again...

I just read a little bit on Yahoo news, they're reporting 1500 dead already

They know better than to mess with all those foos from the ATL!!! But....if we were to lose the state of Georgia I think the collective IQ of the US would rise while the mean rate of obesity would subsequently fall. .....no disrepect....I'm jus sayin....

Just FYI, your views of GA, are just as twisted as their views of Cali. To them Cali is nothing but freaks, homos, and gangbangers. MOSTLY nothing but homos though

And the entire state looks like holywood, LA, and San Fran.

you bes not be gettin up in mah grill...pop a cap in yo ass!!!

Yeah...I know...my neighbor from across the street is from ATL...we joke around a lot. He's a hard-core southern boy!! Wears Univ. of GA gear all the time....(even though ...I could be wrong....but isn't UofGA in Athens?). I'm jus fooling man.

Id actually love to see the South for real...never had a chance to travel down there and would love to see it some day.

Moto_Joe · 08-09-2008, 01:33 PM

yeah its in athens. But athens isnt far from ATL, and you are either a UGA fan, a Ga tech fan....... or an outcast as a Gator or Seminole fan, if you live around here

But it seriously amazes me just how clueless (in general) both sides are about the stereotypes

.... concidering I lived on both coasts. I usually just

:laugh

**soysauce021** · 08-09-2008, 01:35 PM

For the short time I was in ATL here's my take

GA vs. CA -
better weather in CA
GA people are definitely friendlier (Southern hospitality is a real thing)
GA is slooooower paced
Girls are so subjective as that is on your personal taste - for me it is a tie. There are definitely some cuties out that way.
Definitely a culture shock and a lot of people are still a bit closed minded about certain aspects in GA.
Less hippies in GA

That said CA is the place for me still.

**Kent Brockman** · 08-09-2008, 01:37 PM

I'm already pretty laid back, so I think if I lived in GA I would like the laid back attitude that seems to come with the South.

Now is that "laid back" attitude a misconception?

Moto_Joe · 08-09-2008, 01:39 PM

no, not really.

Although pace is starting to pick up some, just depends on where you are really. pace of life is slower for sure

**Kent Brockman** · 08-09-2008, 01:42 PM

I'm already in a small town....it's pretty laid back here...but I could picture myself sittin on a porch somewhere down there with a cooler full of beer. Maybe I'll read "Gone With the Wind" again (alltime fav. book!! Rhett Butler is tha man!!!).

I'd miss the beach though. We live about a mile away.

**soysauce021** · 08-09-2008, 01:51 PM

a cooler full of beer from this place

Beach and snowboarding...main reasons I live in CA

**doomass1** · 08-09-2008, 02:10 PM

I lived in Columbus(Ft Benning) and Alabama(Ft McClelland). The only complaint is the damn humidity. But other than that I had pretty damn good time .

**El Senor Dave** · 08-09-2008, 02:23 PM

My how minds wander...I thought this was a thread about the Caucus nation of Georgia not CA vs GA.

I lived in the region in the 90's and the quality of life post Soviet era was very poor. Hopefully this can be mediated quickly to avoid further loss of life.

From what I was reading they were in pretty bad shape before, but now they're totally bombed into oblivion.
