What kind of body of water do you prefer?

[HEyHEY]

Many people like rivers...but I just can't see why. They always seem ugly and boring to me.
I'm an Ocean guy all the way.

Too many viewings of Jaws I guess.

19. I agree MrsG! I choose the bathtub too!

:scared:

3. The big ones,

like the Ohio and Mississippi are awesome in their breadth and majesty.

4. It's what you grew up near

It gets into you psyche.

I grew up on the banks of the Niagara River

5. Actually trog not my case at all

I live within 5 miles of a lake, and about 10 of the Potomac River, and about 3 hours away from the ocean.

14. I agree

I grew up near the Atlantic and feel homesick if I'm not near an ocean.

7. You can take your nasty-ass salt water and CRAM IT!!!

:-):-):-):-):-)

I like a BIG, humongous lake. A Great Lake to be precise. Lake Superior is my favourite. I also like Lake Ontario, Huron and Michigan. I don't like Lake Erie. Too polluted. Other large ones I like and have been to are Lake Winnipeg, Lake Athabasca, Lake Manitoba, Lake Of The Woods and Devil's Lake.

8. Oh Salt is the best

I feel more....... je ne sais qoui when I get out of the ocean covered in salt water.

10. Ugghhh.. Disgusting.

I've swam in oceans and seas many times myself. It's not like I don't know what it's like. But that salt water is just plain NASTY. Also, I grew up in Lake Country, so that basically shaped my opinion anyway.

12. we always said, it'll cure what ails ya

of course, I grew up on Cape Henry and the Chesapeake Bay

[warner]

9. gotta find the right river

I dont care for the Mississippi, or Missouri, they are ugly. Western rivers however, are beautiful. Ocean is nice but too crowded for me. Lakes, too stagnant.

[cosmicdot]

11. Bays and Cays - water I can swim in

the Chesapeake, Mediterranean and the Caribbean
etc.

13. I'm from Minnesota, Land of 10000 lakes,

but I have to say the ocean. Lakes are nice, I guess, but there's nothing like the ocean. If the view is just right, you simply can't beat it. Although, A lake near mountains is always really nice too

note- there's like, 15000 lakes in Minnesota.

15. Lakes

Because there isn't anything that can eat you in a lake:)

16. Tidal mud flats

You know, sloughs. Hey, sloughs are just rivers that flow both in directions and something is always happening, flood, ebb, or slack water; they are ever changing, and they smell wonderful, too! Fog, birds, fish, and memories of my childhood. Did I mention mud?

[Kolesar]

17. Now I know the definition of slough

I remember struggling with the pronunciation before I heard it read. I thought it rhymed with trough!

[hlthe2b]

18. Any water that is not polluted is fine by me... eom

[onebigbadwulf]

20. Hot Tub

21. The local creek

It's right out in the back yard. And since there was a levee built back in 1955, it hasn't done anything but flow on by. A good place to catch minnows for bait, a secretive place to plant your private herb, and a fresh water source for all the local animals living in the wild.

22. 1) Ocean 2) Pool

Best is a Pool AND the Ocean!!!!!!! :D

Lakes and rivers are OK. I do like the whitewater, though.
