Tennessee is a place where morals are above all. It's a place where we hold the door open for others and say things like "Yes,Mam" or "Yes Sir" and "No,Mam" or "No Sir". It's a place where we enjoy the simpler things in life but get made fun of for doing so. It's a place where the tea is sweet and grits make for some mighty fine eating! We also exercise our God given right to holler when dealing with know-it-alls who have nothing better to do than call us shoeless hicks and insult us.
Tennesseans may seem a little different to others but you must realize that we are raised with different morals and our way of life is different than the average city slicker. Tennesseans have very unique accents that set us apart from the average joe. I don't consider being different a bad thing and i'm very proud of my accent. Those who are bad mouthing our state are good examples of what we are not. I have traveled all over the U.S and can honestly say that Tennessee and the rest of the Southern U.S have the most polite and hospitable people in country. Tennessee has some of the most beautuful backcountry, rolling hills, and scenery around. We have country music in Nashville and Blues in Memphis which will be around for a long time to come!
Honestly, I can't think of any reason anyone would feel the need to talk bad about or insult Tennessee and it's people other than the fact they themselves are miserable in thier own life and feel the need to spew hate online. The people from other States who do this should get off the internet and really see what Tennessee has to offer. Y'all just don't know!!!

The most fantastic place in the world to live. If you live in the suburbs, you get great public schools, nice shopping, and those fantastic accents.

A southern state that isn't far down south.
It is frequently stereotyped for being a fat, hick state where everyone is stupid and cannot speak proper English.
In actuality, it is a state with beautiful scenery, nice, intelligent people who don't have an accent, and NOT EVERYONE IS FAT!
In Tennessee you don't marry siblings or cousins. That is virginia.
Not everyone likes country music or southern rap. People listen to all music.
To live in Tennessee you don't have to be racist and think the south will rise.
People who live in Tennessee are just like people living anywhere else.
People who live in Tennessee aren't all poor, underprivaledged people either.
PEOPLE DON'T EAT "POSSUM PIE"
Don't let people who know nothing ruin your idea of this state.

I live in Tennessee.
I don't have an accent,I'm not overweight, and I definately don't live in the ghetto. I'm very educated. I listen to rock, alternative, and hardcore music. People who live in Tennessee hate your fucking stereotypes. Even if a few people fall into those descriptions, that means nothing about the state.
Tennessee is a great place.

The best damn place to live on EARTH. All the haters can suck the exhaust of my 88 I-ROC. We've got the hottest women, the best hunting, the nicest pickup trucks, and best of all, the best football team! NATIONAL CHAMPS 1998!!

A very good place for anyone looking for a good education and a good laugh at the same time. Here are some tips to Northerners before you move here:
1: The food is called grits, notice the s, the food is not a grit, it is called grits
2: If you see girls saying "like" every other word, it is prefectly normal
3: If you are over age 10, female, and you like Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus stay away from Tennessee
4: Y'all is in the dictionary, get over it
5: 3/4 of the female population in Tennessee is "girly-girl"
so if you came to Tennessee to meet a "tomboy", good luck with that
6: Weather is unpredictable. It snows in April and is over 105 degrees F in October
7: In martial arts, there is almost no karate schools or other martial arts except for Tae kwon Do, you will find about 50 of those
8: There is a McDonalds in almost every town yet barely anybody is overweight
9: "I don't give a crap is just another way of saying, "I didn't much sleep last night"
10: Lastly, if you think you can just move here and be country then you obviously don't know a thing
