Love how the South says the North isn't fratty when all the clothing they wear ex. Brooks Brothers, Polo, and Vineyard Vines comes from the North. TFM.
A cotton plantation is a great example of economies of scale. To even pretend to break even (even with subsidies), you’re going to need a minimum of 750 acres. Add in a minimum of $500K of machinery to run it and 2-3 hands and we’re looking at close to a $5M operation (again, minimum). Additionally, many that own plantations in the Delta and Black Belt also have mirror operations in Brazil to have year round revenue.
Cotton picked by hand…by anyone? Do you also think the seeds are picked out by hand? Hoping you have smoked yourself stupid with comments like that.
Good luck in your studies and maybe one day you can grow up to be a flat billed wearing, gelhead, GDI yankee.
Obviously not literally by handed, “picked” just referred to the illegals that collect the cotton harvested from the cotton strippers and other machinery. And yes, cotton is still picked by hand in the poorer countries of the world, but not in America.
I lived in Richmond for 7 years, my grandfather worked in the cotton industry for 26 years. Careful who you call a flat billed wearing, gelhead, GDI yankee. Just because my father decided the Upper East Side is sweeter doesn’t him any less fratty.
Like I said, call a frat guy at Yale a GDI and you couldn’t make yourself look more pathetic. George W. was a DKE at Yale, any going to say he’s not fratty? Take good look where most of the Fortune 500 went to school before you start saying the north isn’t fratty. Ivy League, Skull and Bones, Nantucket, Boom.
Yale’s greek life today is full of gelled hair, steroid using athletes, with the occasional legacy. Southerners wouldn’t dare join a fraternity up there. I even hear they recruit gays up there….
Because any true fratstar knows only GDIs make clothes. Why would we want any more GDI yanks in the South?
14 years ago at 11:47 amThis statement ends this debate. Go back to Fratting everyone.
14 years ago at 6:31 amAnd I love how Unfratty the North is. TFM.
14 years ago at 12:41 pmYeah but no one in the north wears it…
14 years ago at 12:56 pmHave you ever been to the North Shore the home of old money?
14 years ago at 12:38 amTo frattinhard If we are talking about the same north shore, money here is almost as old as the lake itself
14 years ago at 12:44 amWhere does that cotton come from? Facial.
14 years ago at 12:58 pmplus that’s a statement, not a move.
14 years ago at 1:06 pmThe cotton comes from cheaper places overseas, like South America. Globalization, cheaper options that screw over the working class = fratty.
The small amount of cottom that actually is brought from the south anymore is picked by illegal immigrants anyway.
Nothing unfratty about the Ivy League (besides Brown)

14 years ago at 11:08 ama lot of things are unfratty about the ivy league. Yankees wouldn’t know fratty if it hit them in the face. And all of minorities… No thanks. Gdis….

14 years ago at 6:03 pmYou wouldn’t even mention South America if you were actually fratty. Gross.
14 years ago at 9:31 pmthere is nothing fratty about a damn yankee
14 years ago at 2:54 pmThere are no ivy league schools in the south.NF
13 years ago at 12:34 pmThanks for the clothes…now go fuck yourself
14 years ago at 3:27 pmHAHAHA
14 years ago at 9:10 pmCouldn’t have put it better myself.
14 years ago at 11:14 pmHow about southern proper and southern marsh… Both are south of the mason Dixon line. So go fuck your self you cock sucking Yankee
14 years ago at 5:20 pmAgree- Southern Proper, Southern Marsh, Southern Tide, Redd…
14 years ago at 6:18 pmCome on, you sound like a GDI who is bitter about his F-adidas hoodie not being cool
Last time I checked there was nothing fratty about new money.
14 years ago at 9:54 pmLast time I checked, there’s nothing sexier than a frat daddy in a southern marsh T.
