Social Groups

[Raistlin]

So you have a Northeast and you have a South group. What group is everyone in between those two on the east coast supposed to join????

[Rye]

Well, isn't it split? Isn't Pennsylvania the north, and every thing below it the South, and everything even more below it, like, the DEEP south? =O

Bingo.

You're in the South, Wes.

[Raistlin]

No. So very no. The way it's ACTUALLY divided is that New England is, well, New England; New York - Maryland/Delaware (arguably even Virginia in some cases) is mid-Atlantic; and Virginia and further down is the South (South Carolina starts the "Deep South").

There is no definition of "South" that includes Maryland and Delaware (in a North/South dichotomy they would be considered "North").

[Madonna]

Mason-Dixon Line. I agree that Maryland is not very Southernish if Baltimore is your measure, but it is a part of the South, Weasley.

[Raistlin]

Notice the conspicuous use of "and." Even using the obsolete Mason-Dixon standard (the Civil War is more modern, and then wouldn't include West Virginia), Delaware is not part of the South.

[Madame Adequate]

Who in the Sam Hill would put Delaware in the South? o_O It borders New Jersey! xD Virginia is the first Southern state and it's probably still arguable, as Wes says. Mid-Atlantic is a valid definition.

That said northeast encompasses the Mid-Atlantic region and someone from Virginia can just toss a coin as to which they want to join I guess

Virginia is so totally the south. People there have southern accents!

[Agent Proto]

I live in Northern Virginia (the counties closest to DC) and the people here don't exactly have southern accents. However, that doesn't mean the rest of the state is like this. :P

[Rye]

Where is Kings Dominion? When I went there, everyone had one. Maybe that's in the south of Virginia. =O

[Agent Proto]

Kings Dominion is just north of Richmond, which is central Virginia. It's about 60 miles south from where I live.

Why are we seperating ourselves with borders? we should all be trying to thrive together as a community, I say we make a planet Earth social group. (No room for space pope)
