But there's a similar, primitive mindset. I see them here, too. They're the same all over the world.

I bet you see "them". I wouldnt call them "rednecks". I also wouldnt use the term "primitive mindset", but they sure do kill a lot of snakes in taiwan.
Just know that some are offended when "redneck" gets thrown in with every snake killing thread.
If "redneck" was replaced with another/other derogatory terminology, I dont believe it would be tolerated.

Because they have primitive mindsets regarding this matter. Would you call random killing of animals highly evolved behavior?

I certainly hope so, because derogatory terminology isn't meant to be tolerated, it's meant to be offensive. Sometimes you just have to call it like you see it, and I personally see it that way, never mind the semantics. The same word can mean different things to different people, and I used "redneck" in the classic, derogatory sense, devoid of any PC pap. My sincere apologies to all the upright, righteous, and nature-loving rednecks out there that I unwillingly threw into the bag - I wasn't talking about you, but about your brethren on the wrong side of the track.

By the way, did you know the term "redneck" refers to the red neckerchiefs worn by unionized workers during the mine wars in West Virginia?
but they sure do kill a lot of snakes in taiwan
They do? Where'd you hear that? They don't kill more snakes here than in the rest of the world. Just the usual assholes doing what assholes do everywhere in the world, not more, not less.

Yeah, "needle dicks" is more accurate.

Looks like redneckness needs to be included among the discrimination protected disabilities :) Poor sensitive rednecks
