Yup. Show me one state that doesn't have any of that and I'll show you a liar.

I love it when people on this site think they know something about me - but they know nothing about me.

You are definitely from a small town. I can tell from your responses and you have mentioned it before. You dont need to lie just to make your argument more effective.

I find this post to be totally disgusting on SO many levels.

You just need to stop before you embarrass yourself any further. On second thought, I doubt that's even possible.

That is probably true. In my experience at an SEC college the only small town people I met were from southern towns, so I dont really know how other small towns are.

Obviously you have never seen Flavor of Love.

If that post was disgusting you need to get a grip or sense of humor. Quit being so sensitive.

Don't assume anything about me. And yes, I have seen it.

Nice way to backpedal from an inflamatory post.
