I am from Texas. I have lived here my entire life. I will not defend stupidity, nor will I defend some of the class acts that have come from the state of Texas; however, I will say that not everyone in Texas is stupid, or that the entire state should be condemned for the stupidity of some of them. Yes, Texas is easily one of the most conservative states in the Union. But some places in Texas, i.e. Houston, Austin, and Dallas, are not all that bad to live in actually.

So don’t hate unless you’ve actually been here. Then you can hate all you want.

Brandon – Even Washington & Oregon have logical divides, and in this case, it is the Cascades. Both Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon are NOT the same as the west side of the Cascades. Stick to the I-5 corridor, and do not go near the coastal communities either.

A friend of mine described living in Austin is like living in West Berlin when it was surrounded by communist East Germany. Only difference is they are surrounded by rednecks instead of a wall.

OMG I so thought of you today when I had a guy from Texas come in my store demanding that I give him a replacement radio-controlled helicopter….even though his receipt was 11 months old, he didn’t buy a protection plan, and couldn’t tell me what exactly was wrong with his! Do you know that idiot had the nerve to say to me “you people in Ohio sure aren’t very friendly or helpful!” WTF?!?! Next time buy a protection plan and REGISTER it when we tell you it is in your best interest…otherwise take your ass back to Texas, become your own country, and stay the hell out of mine asshole!

You’re right Brandon. I suspect the fact that he’s clearly borderline illiterate makes it hard for him to read and understand place names on maps.

@Bryan — the problem is that the good folks (percentage open to debate) led the idiots set the tone — GWB, Perry, the guys who dragged the Black man behind the pickup, or the ultra-hypocrites of Dallas.(witness the trashy series GCB this Spring)
Moreover, TEX-ASS was the only large State where the 18-24 range polled a majority against Gay marriage. All those nice Gays are not doing a good job of convincing their neighbors.
There seems to be pride in holding on to the 19th Century. (the 2nd half only, because for the first half, your hellhole was part of Mexico)

The Washington/Oregon area is hardly a bastion of Aryan hate. In fact, they are quite liberal. I think that Texan twit got the area confused with states like the Dakotas, Montana and Idaho.
