I'm not sure how Pennsyltucky made it to the tolerant list.

[Ban Hammer 13,355]

not surprising with that list of criteria.

What would be your criteria for measuring tolerance?

New York didn't make the cut?

seems to me taking aim at religion isn't the way to do it.

Care to elaborate, or for once actually delineate your point of view on this? Platitudes are so boring Charles.

The Hindu and Sai-Baba temples in the Pits (description of Pittsburgh since long prior to construction of the Hindu temple) ring bells?

Apter question is why Ohio is on the low-tolerance list, in worse position than Utah.

a few mandirs? that's it? next time you think Penn is tolerant, spend some time in just about any small town in the middle.

I lived in southern Ohio for 3 years. I am not at all surprised to see it on this list!

Does stopping in some (such as Donegal/Somerset/Bedford) for meals/fuel not count? Based on those (I have had experience at halting in all three), I still say PA is tolerant.

Been through southern OH at least six times, and I disagree with you.

Wow, through OH SIX times! Certainly makes my 3 years living there insignificant in comparison! I bow to your obvious expertise!

Seriously, as with all generalities, this analysis totally fails when you try to apply it to individuals and isolated incidents. I certainly met many wonderful people in Ohio, as well as North Dakota, Utah, and other places on the list!

it should be obvious what i'm referring to.

[james&olya 1,121]

Actually, no. I just always figured you were afraid to actually declare yourself on things, just wanted to dangle your toes off the dock rather than dive in, so to speak. Maybe you would like to elaborate for those of us that struggle with mind-reading.

Actually, no, It isn't Charles. That is why I asked you to elaborate.
