ok, I will play. IYM is too stupid to talk to since he compares numbers from CA to southern states instead of percentages. I never said there were ZERO suv's in the west.
OK. MN has a traffic fatality rate of 11.42

nation as a whole has 14.79. EVERY SOUTHERN STATE has a rate that is way way above the national average - EVERY SOUTHERN STATE, even tho they dont have nearly as treacherous, slippery roads as the Rockies or MN or any northern state. They drive like maniacs because they are such ignorant jack asses. A few other reasons I hate the south are listed below. Probably the most important thing I hate about them is their clannishness (clans of relatives). You are going to have to do some "yalling" before you will get me to hate you. Say some things like "hows yalls family, yalls family alright? gotta run - got ta gits tagither with my relatives" Then I might think about it.
