I think people in Texas just have a lot of pride for their home state. I have visited a lot of other places, and I think that no matter where I might move, I will always come back here eventually. It is home and I fit here. :)

That last sentance made no sense to me whatsoever. :confused:

Oh, just joking a little. As I was growing up, since Texas was the biggest state (this was before Alaska's statehood), Texans were apt to say that "everything" is bigger in Texas.

It was a slight blow to a few Texas egos when Alaska became the biggest state -- especially by such a huge margin.

Truth is that I don't really know if Alaska is twice as big, but I think the line is funny all the same.

Of course you're correct about home states, but I think many people feel a home state pride and can get put off by negative comments about their homes.

That's why I pointed out that I don't really have anything against Texas -- I just don't find it to be Utopia. It has good and bad points just like anywhere else.

I see. Yeah, maybe I'm too young cause I gew up with the phrase" everything is bigger in Texas" (yeah everyone still says it). But, I don't think I've ever met anyone who really cared whether Alaska was bigger or not.

Though I do have the "Texas is bigger than France" sticker on my fridge that I find amusing. :p

You're definitely right about that. I grew up in one of the "bad Points". :p And then there is Houston, or as my ex called it... The armpit of America.

But, a lot of it is just great. And I love Austin!!! :)

HAHAHAHA!!!

Don't be claiming In n Out either.

Watch it old man.... thats hate speech in Texas.

And yes, I am still bitter about that whole Alaska statehood nonsense. I wasnt even alive then, but I'm real mad about it. lol.

Except the leaders of your red country would probaby ban all French imports so you'd be cheeseless....:p

Is cheeseless a new word I just made up?

I don't know, but I do know that cheeselessness = sadness.

Luckily, the cows in Wisconsin make more than Velveeta and American cheese. Not to mention, our Blue State leaders will no doubt be open to the notion of importing cheese from other nations.



Edited because the thought of a chesseless world has affected my grammar skills.

See? See? I told you so!
(Gotta admit I really like San Antonio and Austin)

Its ok. Those are the only two cities with any character in the state anyway. Well, Ft. Worth does, but its just a suburb of Dallas now. El Paso does, but its pretty much the largest city in New Mexico. Dallas and Houston are pretty much the character of money. Dallas is new money and Houston is less new money.

Tex-Ass. Staid there in Tyler when Dad was in Boot Camp. Damn did it Suck. Now has a College that is joining Greek Society!

Been to Houston and Dallas! They are Okay! Airports Suck if You have ever flown in and Out!:mad:

Would Love to Visit LifeSaver in San Antonio!:D

ok, real BBQ, real college football and tailgating, Jack Daniels, Duke Basketball (sometimes), and the Grand Ole Opry are the only things I would miss...but all I really need in life is some good music, something good to drink, and a good Carolina girl...I think the South should seceed again:D ...or at least SC should...you know what they say: South Carolina to small to be a republic, to big to be an insane assylum

oh and by the way yall can keep UGA and Clemson...no one likes them anyway

Remind me, what was the UGa - USC score this fall?

What school won the SEC div., and is playing in the championship game this weekend?

We do agree on Clemson, though, although their mens soccer is pretty good.
