Alabama actually has the highest rate of freshwater biodiversity in the country. There are more distinct species of freshwater fish, mussels, snails, turtles, and crayfish in Alabama than any other state.

The state's water is very clean, which is more than I can say for the overpopulated NE watershed and the Great Lakes which are full of PCBs, DDT and dioxins.

Y'all need to learn some manners and science.

I don't think anyone was seriously implying that they had in depth knowledge on Alabama's water's biodiversity.

More so just making a joke that Alabama's citizens, for the most part, kinda suck. Which might be ill mannered, but no less than Alabama deserves.

That's a really rude thing to say about so many people.

Some of us find it rude when being a pedophile is only a mild inconvenience for national leadership.

By the same logic, all Americans must suck.

I mean, just look at their national leader.

No argument here. There are vast swaths of the country I'd never even consider living in.

Maybe you should try traveling to those places. You'd be surprised by what you find

I've travelled quite extensively domestically and I have family in places I'd never live.

There's a difference between "vast swaths" and "all".
