My clan lived & fought during the civil war. We hate the north with passion. The FACT that you can’t understand IT tells me a lot about your profile. Enjoy the american life- I do.

You’re a young buck I forgive you.

Two words for you FOB… grammar classes. I have a question for you FOB. Why is it always the uneducated ones that tend to be narrow minded and wrongly stereotype people and are so easily brainwashed and are always followers like you FOB? I guess there’s always some bad apples in every bag and you just happen to be one of those with a worm inside.

I don’t mind saying, “my english is poor” what’s the big deal. After all I did take ESL. I read your post JustDaFacts, a 4th grader can write it also, using big words doesn’t show me/us you’ve mastered the language.

Back to the topic north vs south; my entire clan, all + 100 strong is from the SOUTH! Once again, ‘WE DO NOT LIKE THE NORTH’.

Just deal with it.

LOL… Oops, i think you shoud go look in a mirror and laugh at yourself FOB.

I need to have pho at least once a week.
This is my favorite meal… specially during the cold winter season.

Pho, like the people of its creation, is not different from other noodle soup of other cultures. What makes it unique is its delivery to the palette. Whether prepared by the regional people of not, the dish strikes up the spirit of the VN people, and it is judged not in a singular vain but in the final overall form.

The evolution of its refinement comes from millennium of influence of other cultures and ethnicity but still remains true to the regional identity and symbolizes the spirit of the regional people. What is important whether the dish is served with a slight twist or completely off mark is that Pho contributes itself as another viable hearty meal to the American people, just as the people who created it contribute to their new land…

I agree with Hot Fat Mama. Regional discrimination is childish & primitive. You can hate certain indiduals and certain things, but a blanket hatred is dumb and narrow minded. There must be something wrong with FOB’s DNA.
