Sounded like a fishy quote to me and googling shows it is fairly unlikely it is an actual quote by Washington.

 

I don't see how Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has anything to do with it? Too much pop culture physics?

And I don't want to debate what science and religion have to do with eachother, I just didn't want ol' Einstein being misrepresented here.

I read this whole post and I might not be getting it because I'm a dumb redneck..

Every time you get in your Corvette and take a nice drive without worrying about getting shot or killed for no reason be glad you live in REDNECK country.

I have to admit I made the same mistake of not reading GDiana correctly when I was new here I thought he was a she. OOPS he's only a moderator...lol

Hey is my truck a redneck truck?

 

I guess I'm a redneck then and proud of it. This is considering the fact that most of those "redneck' quotes are really true blue American and NOT redneck. You need to listen to Jeff Foxworthy a little closer.... I don't think you quite get it or you're just trying to make some off the wall political statement. If that's the case... this is no place for it. We talk about cars here.

 

 

from my very personal point of view this thread has developped beyond the expectations of who started it and from my personal point of view i'm very glad it has...i've been always curious to know how we were ,beyong our common enthusiasm for corvettes, and what was our living 'philisophy' but i always was pretty uncertain to start a thread about social and, why not?, political beliefs, since a couple of months ago i started a thread about the 'today reduced liberties in our society' and, in reply, i was nearly lapidated by quite a few members in the C6 forum


from what i've understood here the word 'redneck' is a summary of quite a lot of good ,and some bad, atributes, and like all the words, apart the definition of 'god' for who has the faith, has both worlds inside and a mix of complementary beliefs.

after all we are all rednecks here, even somebody like me who can barely understand its meaning...and what makes of this forum's melting pot a big bunch of rednecks??? it's a corvette and everything good that this name represents, apart from power, alu heads or 3.73 rear gears...it represents the best of america, the freedom, the singularity of each man, a long and streight forward road with an infinite and uncertain horizon ahead.
this is the challenge that makes each of us a perfect 'redneck'

 

good job of stradling the fence. At least have the ***** to tell us how you really feel.

 

Having googled the quote myself, there are just as many Web sites that credit George Washington for making the quote than Web sites that don't. I guess it comes down to what one chooses to believe.

 

Just so you guys know...

christianity IS under attack. It has been for a long time.

 

I used to think I was a bit of a redneck (despite my residence).
That means where you live - for the true rednecks.

I may make a ridiculous amount of money doing my high-tech job,
but we have crappy old vehicles, a chicken coop, and I heat
my house with "farwood" that is cut from my land.
Things like this .. .and a perpetual mullet made me think I was partly redneck.

After reading some of these quotes ... I am very happy to not be a redneck.
Frankly, I'd rather be a pot-smoking, ****-watching, lazy-*** hippie.
I love "That 70s Show" .... not "Beverly Hillbillies".

So, alas - I am not a redneck.


WHEW - that was close !!


PS - If you "Googled a quote" ... you might NOT be a redneck.

Sorry, I was busy talkn to my brokr.

 

There is nothing more hopeless than discussing science or history with a person veiled by religion and with that I concede all your points. I hereby declare my alignment with the christian right and admit the earth is flat. May we never fall off the edge.

Respectfully,
A new true believer

 

Am I a redneck if I had a confederate flag on my C3? I can't put it back on untill I get another front license plate mount.

 

 

Need a Moonroof in your Vette?

 

It's about time you wised up.

Good post, Gdaina.

I think the idea was a separation of Church and State not Church FROM State, wherein we wouldn't have a religious ruling party. Our country was establish on a strong belief in A God, but not of any one particular religion. I think often people and the media ignore the words in bold text below.
