(with the exception of las vegas, but then again they're assholes to everyone equally  )

i have a problem with texas ego. there's nothing cooler about your state than any other state, but texas people think they're living on land of gold. and piss on everyone else. the everything is bigger in texas thing just sums it up. when i told my neighbors in denver that i was from texas they gave me a sarcastic "oh." but when i told them i got out as soon as i could i was congratulated. and it's not just colorado. from my experience california, washington, georgia, and florida think the same thing. never been over seas but i've been told from two people that when they said they were from texas they were immediately asked if they supported bush. and one kicked out of a restaurant when they said yes. i lived in texas my whole life and it's the attitude of the people that gets me.

I am not as well travelled as a lot of people, but I have done some inside the U.S. It seems to me where ever I go I run into people who think their state is the greatest thing under the blue sky. I also run into people who love everything about Texas and want to talk to me (with me being quiet by nature does not help matters). And for every person who screams "I hate Texas and all Texans", I run into at least one if not more people who say "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."
So bottom line is, if you don't like Texas, then don't live here, don't visit, heck, don't even drive through it. It is how I deal with colorado. -------------------- QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Aug 1 2009, 06:17 PM) REAL MEN DO NOT NEED INSTRUCTIONS YOU WERE BEING PUNISHED BY GOD FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS HAD YOU JUST THROWN THEM AWAY LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE GOD WOULD NOT HAVE KILLED YOUR TV :) |

well I do love Texas and I have a lot of pride in it, but I'm not an asshole about it to other people.
and the "everything's bigger in texas" is the catch phrase used by the people who don't live here... kinda like there's probably not that many people from vegas who use the "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" thing. |

what a load of inflated crap
charlie and cmac....the only two who have said texas/texans suck are both from colorado it's a colorado thing...(and sometimes alaska) i've been to california and californians were just as friendly as virginians... i've been to washington and they're just as friendly as people from south carolina i've been to colorado and i've had people ask me where i'm from, i say texas, and they turn and walk the other way there's some sort of stigma in colorado about texans...i don't know if it's a state thing...i've heard rumors that colorado people get upset because all the texans go there to ski (i guess they don't like visitors?) i personally could care less what people think about texas....i have no hate for other states because there's no reason to -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

I can sum my experiences with colorado like this.
Guy #1: Where are you from. Me: Texas Guy #1: colorado is better than Texas. Me: That's fine. I'm just here to look at the mountains. Guy #2: colorado is better than Texas. Me: That's fine. I'm just here to see the ancient ruins. Guy #3: If we flattenned out colorado we would be bigger than Texas. Me: That's fine. While you figure out how to flatten out your state I'm going to go look at the snow. Damn, that is a lot of snow. I hate snow. Guy #4: Colorado is better than Texas. Me: Fine, if colorado is so fucking great why can't you build a decent road that is better than the damn county roads back home? -------------------- QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Aug 1 2009, 06:17 PM) REAL MEN DO NOT NEED INSTRUCTIONS YOU WERE BEING PUNISHED BY GOD FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS HAD YOU JUST THROWN THEM AWAY LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE GOD WOULD NOT HAVE KILLED YOUR TV :) |
