Status: offline 		I've long been curious where most FOF players are from. My impression is that there are more southerners than northerners, but I might be wrong. Unfortunately, the poll only allows ten options, so I can't do a breakdown by state. I think my geographical breakdowns make some amount of sense.

Status: offline 		Thot u just did that to the dutch. They've becomming more nationalistic lately. At leased thats my view on things if u look at the political situasion in last 5 years time. So it might be the truth about the language, but then some times to some the truth hurts.

Status: offline 		Lol then u havent tasted the danish version. Dutch version is mild compared too possible dk. U can in any small store get 25 different versions and tastes of licorice, out several hundres.

My ex US Girl Friend accussed me, after trying, of eating tar, which sadly isnt that far from the truth. Ammoniumchlorid, peber and salt is added to some of the worst.

July 8, 1864. This caused the Confederates to withdraw into Atlanta and supposely was the reason Johnson got replaced by John B. Hood.

Oh...Thats Marietta, Georgia by the way, just North of Atlanta.

(They'll eat you alive, if you happen to be standing near them.)  Lots of southern history in Charleston, obviously, even the mansion where the made the movie "Gone With The Wind".

The Dutch very often speak German (and I am not referring to the fact that the Germans in 19th century US were called 'Durch').
Before too long however, the Netherlands might totally disappear if the oceans' level rise too high.

Hood.  To the best of my knowledge, none of my father's family fought {they were mainly from the Wisconsin area} despite the family name being of all things.......Hood.

Been to some of the battlegrounds and fort sites. Columbus-Belmont(Grants first battle,he lost) It was called the Gibralter of the Mississippi and had a huge chain across the river. It was made untenable after the fall of Henry and Donelson.
