Oh, yeah, I am a $Redneck! I won't say I get a redneck from working in the sun; I don't. I am a mix, a mongrel, and proud of that, too! I don't smoke, I don't drink, but I shore do cuss!
I stand up for all those qualities mentioned in your Are You A Redneck?

I meet all those citeria and I don't think I'm a redneck . In fact, I consider myself a Liberal. I not only respect Vietnam Veterans, I am one.
BTW I've also had questions deleted for no apparent reason. Yahoo! doesn't even read some of the questions it deletes.

Suthrnlyts is correct. Shut them down, it’s the only way I have managed to survive to make it to level 4 this time. God bless you and although I can’t claim I am a redneck (although I certainly embrace the above values), I would trust them over a drugged up peace nick or a “too nice” (fake) soft spoken “progressive” any day.

At times I don't understand the rules here, despite the 'clear' guidelines. I've gotten a few hits from them from silly questions, as well. Sometimes I think a question that may be innocent or unhurtful will go on for awhile, until some analtype person sees it and gets a bug up their but and reports it.
I wouldn't consider what you wrote to be racist or bigoted at all. The only person that might be offended would be the person who feels unsure about their own feelings on the topics mentioned.

I wouldn't consider myself a redneck, although I fit the requiurements listed. I'm from a small area when "rednecks" are rampant, and I must say I would trust them with my life over a peace protester. I do enjoy hunting though. : )

During the "Hippie era" a redneck was someone with short hair and therefore a sun burnt neck. Since I was a soldier at the time I am definitely a redneck.

Yep, we're rednecks by today's standards!
Philip - You made me laugh!
"Your a REDNECK,if you waist all your time
trying to be one.
RED NECKS Gikkles are borned to slop hogs.drink sour mesh from a jug.drop out
of school in the first grade,and get set back
16 times. "
Did *you* drop out in the first grade? Your writing skills are absolutely appalling. I'd be embarrassed, if I were you.

I must be a Redneck. And damned proud of it.
God bless the U.S.
Like the above poster mentioned, make your Q&A private so those scoundrels can't shut you down.

"William W", how can you extrapolate from this person's definition of redneck that we blindly follow what our government says? Come on, a little thought here!
Yes, I am a redneck and very proud of it!
