Tired Of The Southern Stereotyping (Don't need to stoop to their level)

With all of the Southern stereotyping going on such as Mr. Clausen's "cousins" shirt and of course the "mobile homers" reference,I was reminded of a confrontation I had a while back with a Catholic who was making a joke about Baptists.

I was walking through our break room and there were three outside contractors sitting there and one asked the others, Do you know why you never take a Baptist fishing? The reply was, no why? Because they'll drink up all your beer. It's best to take two of 'em that way niether one will drink any. Well that got a big laugh and I laughed along with them even though I happen to be Baptist. I then say at least with a Baptist all you have to worry about is your beer. If you take a Catholic Priest with you,you have to worry about your beer and your little boy. For some reason they did'nt laugh along with me.

I agree but I felt at the time like a point needed to be made and looking back the Christian thing to do would have been to walk on by.
Can't take it back now.

Southerners and old white men are the only free game left, so we get the backlash from everyone biting their tongue in other instances.

Penn State got a lot of bad press for ignoring the child rapist, but heck, they were just following the example set by the Catholic Church.

if they were following the Catholic church they would have just moved Sandusky to a different city.
