i've grown up hearing it both as a negative and positive term. I went to hs out in the country where everyone called themselves rednecks. To them a redneck was someone deeply attached to family, blue collar, and the "simple country life". When i moved away and went to college people looked down on rednecks as racist, backwards types. I've certainly met my fair share from both perspectives. _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

Redneck is one of those words with multiple uses. That and "hick." I think it's funny when used lightheartedly, and offensive when used with contempt. But that depends on the connotation, and the connotation is the only thing I find offensive. Being from Texas, a lot of people would call me a hick and/or a redneck. Though I'm far from most definitions of either. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
