Apples and Oranges
I asked this question over at Sticks and the answers amused me.
Cowboys v. Rednecks: Is there a difference?
I will soon trade Wesley Chapel for Colorado Springs, rednecks for cowboys. I don't see much of a difference, but others do.
Tommy: "Cowboys raise animals. Rednecks get emotionally involved."
Editengine: "Cowboys have a wife and a job, rednecks have a restraining order and unemployment checks."
John: "...Rednecks have been portrayed as sodomite rapists in cinema while Cowboys have just been exposed as Gay (insert “quit you” jokes here)"
What do you think?

Cowboys have muscles and are hardworking sexy men. Rednecks are wife beater wearning, toothless, beer drinking, uneducated trailer trash that are just plain ignorant.
Rednecks decry "The South Shall Rize Again!"
Cowboys decry different sets of phrases to move cows.
Only the Cowboys phrases work while the Rednecks phrases turn into different socially regressive discussions
one votes republican and the other doesn't vote at all?
I've been on the receiving end of some of those socially regressive discussions.
Taint pretty at all.
um.. those are pretty much dead on.
In my college youth as a charter member of the shortlived campus organization MACHO (Marxist Anarchist Cowboys' and Horsemen's Organization) I learned:
Cowboys love wide open spaces and pristine natural vistas. Rednecks think no rural landscape is quite complete without a few junk cars and washing machines.
After a night of carousing a cowboy will fall asleep on your sofa, a redneck will move it outside and call it porch furniture.
Cowboys are big thinkers who often find themselves at a loss for words. Rednecks are big talkers who find themselves at a loss for thoughts.
Kate-I really think you'll find many like minded friends in Colorado.
PT - In addition to making me laugh, you are erasing fears and doubts. I appreciate it.
Cowboys don't sound so bad after all. We'll see!
