Just the opposite...
I posted this in another thread, but think it needs to be here as well:
I probably should weigh in here.
I've been to every place mentioned here (so far), and have been to Texas many times. I worked for a Texas company for a while.
In my personal opinion, Texas is OK. Not stupendous. It's got some great stuff and some bad stuff. One thing it certainly doesn't lack is ego. In fact, in my opinion, what makes people dislike Texas has more to due to the attitude that Texans try to stuff down your throat than anything wrong with Texas.
The fact is that everywhere I've lived, visited or been to for work has good and bad points. Texas is far from my favorite, but it also isn't the worst.
I know that some of the attitude is supposed to be in fun, but it gets out of hand. It's great to be proud of your state, but not at the expense of someone elses. We're all proud of our states, and some take major offense at someone putting it down.
Games are fun, but name calling can get ugly and cause serious hurt feelings. So far, this has been OK, but let's keep it that way, huh? Have fun, but be mindful of others.
