Poll question: Best Thing About the South
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 06:51 PM by Gringo
Okay, I started a stupid thread that turned into a stupid flame war because I made generalizations about the south.

This poll is a little gesture to make up for that fiasco.

So, what is the best thing about the south?

These answers are NOT all sarcastic, by the way.

ON EDIT: To whoever wants to make this serious: It ain't - maybe these answers will make you happier.
