I am tired of Ben not doing anything about people who lie, cheat, and steal in this game. Ben gives people to many chances. People need to be banned. How many more agencies must suffer the consequences of having rogue detectives join, take sign on bonuses, loot lockers, steal money from safe accounts, and then leave to repeat the process before the administration takes action? Chronestrian left this site for a reason, and I spoke to him shortly before he quit. I honestly told him that the site was not going to change and that people would continue to abuse the system without any fear of punishment. Enough is enough. I call upon the denizens of Slueth to support my referendum. Ben must take action against repeat offenders.

I didn't get the swet tea thing either. I've been living in the South for over 15 years and cannot develop a taste for that stuff. Ewww.

After one trip to Tennessee, my spousal unit is totally hooked on sweet tea.

Well I love tea anyways. Earl Grey is my fav. But I'd heard so much about sweet tea, so I knew I had to try it.

Okay clarification for the Canadian please. Is sweet tea what I would just call Iced tea?

And Trey...I can completely understand not being into "swet" tea :P

(sorry but it was just sitting right there like a one-legged orphaned puppy...I had to pick it up, y'know?)

As a dude from Jersey, you don't realize what 'sweet tea' is until you live in the south, and yeah, it is that simple, its freshly brewed iced tea with added sugar.

It's amazing that it needs explanation, but I've been working in restaurants my whole life, and if you're south of Washington DC than you will have 'sweet tea' as an option as a soft drink(like Coke, Sprite, coffee, lemonade, etc.). And if you don't, people will literally lose their minds.

And BY GOD, this is alot of effort for a freaking non-alcoholic beverage.

whoa whoa wait....

are you saying that sweet tea is just SWEETENED ICED TEA?

God you can get that anywhere lol!

*doesnt understand what all the fuss is about then*

Seriously, it's non alcomoholic? wow thanks jerz. I expected it to be a little more exciting & exotic, for the rave it got. See you have one massage from your girl's father and you go all soft Jus. (and read that anyway you damn please :) )

Some clarifications from some of my Southern friends.

Iced tea - tea that is brewed and then poured over ice and chilled

Ice tea - tea that is steeped in cold water with ice, never brewed

Sweet tea - one of the above that has sugar added, in the South the preference is not granulated sugar but clear sugar syrup. The best places bring you a little pitcher to pour in exactly how much you want.

Long Island Ice Tea - no tea what so ever, pure alcomoholic drink

Personally given the preference I would have Iced tea with lemon for the frosty beverage of choice to sit on the veranda with.

Ok, as a self-proclaimed sweet tea expert, I must jump in.

Sweet tea is brewed hot and sugar is dissolved while hot before pouring over ice. So it's basically sweetened and then iced tea.

Sweet tea is NOT what you buy in the bottle or can that says Lipton or Nestea. I've noticed that if you ask for sweet tea up north they will just give you a bottle. Not the same.

Adding sugar to ice tea is also not the same. The cold beverage does not allow the sugar to dissolve properly. It must be done hot.
