I don't care how YOU describe it. Texans are far from shy about this topic.

Shouldn't you be cutting yourself or something? You've had such a hard, miserable life.

LOL. Careful, you'll end up taking away the title of "IPD's Most Hated Nemesis on 3SGTO" away from me. (Don't worry, it doesn't take up much of your time.)

If there's one thing I've learned living in several cities across TX, it's that there's no such thing as a "stereotypical" Texan really. Sure, we've got guys running around wearing cowboy hats and who own a horse, but we've got just as many if not more people wearing baseball caps and who hate country music. In the winter, you can have snow in the panhandle if you like colder weather, or 90 degree heat in south TX. We've got urban areas that can compete with any major city in the world, and we've got tiny little hickville towns where the number of teeth in a town sometimes outnumber the amount of residents.

There's a place in TX to suit just about anyone.

Sounds a lot like AL.

Have you DFW folks had any snow/ice yet this year?

We had a tiny bit (like half an inch) at our house, gone by noon. My parents live about 20 min south, they didn't get any yet.

LOL you're right, said that backwards.

You could argue that Americans as a whole are the same way about their country. We are notorious for exhibiting a great amount of national pride, thinking ourselves the most powerful country in the world. Are you saying it's wrong to take pride in the city/county/state/country you live in?

i'm sorry, but there's just too much animosity, terrorism & collective oppression abroad for me to ever think that we need to "pick sides" domestically here in the US. maybe when we have 7 billion people all holding hands and singing kumbyah together...MAYBE then we can start playing up such petty domestic quibbles as state pride. preoccupation with ethnocentric pride on a state level isn't called for when we've got enough enemies on the outside.

I think you're taking this too seriously. State pride like Texans exhibit isn't meant as hatred towards others. It's a reflection of pride in themselves and their state, the same way I cheer for Auburn when they play a football game. I might joke about how the other team sucks and how my team is so much better, but at the end of the day it's all in good fun.

But you did "pick sides".

First you hate Texas. Then you say it's no different than any other state. Now there's just too much turmoil abroad to even care. Oh.. woe is me Picturing you bouncing from position to position while hanging from your underwear, struggling to kick the box out from beneath yourself makes me laugh.

I love how the state of Texas has an ego. Hey, beats the shit out of orange skin, gelled up hair, duck lips and guido ass-douches.

i work locally with a guy who is a native texan. his daughter couldn't be born in texas, so he had a jar of dirt shipped from his parent's place in texas so he could place it under the birthing bed; JUST TO SAY HIS DAUGHTER WAS BORN ON TEXAS SOIL.

i've known some giant fucking losers from texas as well. so what?

First, I was countering your 1 silly example with another silly example. Guess you didn't connect those dots...

Second, it's BAD ASS that homeboy took dirt from Texas for his daughters birth. I'd give that man a beer.
