What do you guys think of Texas and the people who live here?

[Baneat]

Death penalty, religion, ten gallon hats, steakhouses, KoTH, Oil guy from The Simpsons, Heat, Sand, Ties with Mexico.

Instant thought to me,

You do me now! Glasgow, go!

Well, i think Texas is pretty cool. As for texans, my favourite comic book character(Jesse Custer from Preacher) is from Texas, so i´d say "thumbs up" to you guys.

 

[Your Nightmare]

Full of chainsaw wielding socio-path's





I'm just kidding by the way..

To say it in less then 12 words: Ignorant, racist, bible bumpers who need to get with the times.

I'm not saying most Texans are like this. Hell 95% of them probably aren't. It just seems that all we hear about from Texas is bad things. Kind of feel bad for the sane people there.

That's your text book definition of a stereotype: an assumption on a person's culture or race as defined by another, usually focussing on the negative qualities of the person's race or culture and not the positive aspects.

I never hear of any positives from texas.

Integrated Circuit.

EDIT: And the handheld calculator, while we're at it. Or the silicon transistor.

Texans have their usual share of problems...
...for example;


God, these guys are awesome! ^_^

Really? That's awesome. Guess I have to thank the state for that one.

I've lived in Texas for 9 years now. In the town I live in it's all racists and inbreeders. All the girls are rich snobs trying to act like their rich snob parents. The accents are annoying, and if you like animals, prepare to mocked. Also you might want to never leave your house if you were anything dark colored, are not obese, or have anything more than a slight Northern twinge to your accent. Get me out of here, please.


Dallas is OK, Houston and Austin too. But in general the small towns suck.


Also, if you're an atheist or in any way a free-thinker or artist. Prepare to be killed to death with shotguns.

Damn....I'll stay in Pittsburgh thanks. The winters are cold but I love my home.

Like I said, I've lived there 9 years and it's only snowed in the winter three times. I actually went to Maine just to see some real snow. You're lucky.

Well you're tough to last that long in a place that you don't care for.

 

[FalloutJack]

Ugh, state specific threads?

That's like me asking what people think of Nottinghamshire.

Well, since you mention it, my opinion is that I don't know enough about it and now I'm stimulated to learn about the place.

OT: Texas. Okay...

I feel bad for Texas because of how flat it is, mostly because I feel that way about ANY state caught in Tornado Alley. Ergo, I feel bad about anyone whose lives get wrecked because of this. (Being connected to the Gulf of Mexico and therefore possibly able to be hit by hurricane forces also makes me concerned.)

I think television is a poor representation of Texas, but then TV likes to add flavor to all things (except when a show is made bland by executive meddling).

 

[zombiestrangler]

Um... I think just about normal people with a strange fetish for hot weather. Then comes the redneck stereotypes.

NASA, id tech, Chuck Norris, growing industry in software and hardware, practically recession proof, kind people, good weather, never trust moat stereotypes.

Would of been perfect except for the fact that you mentioned Chuck Norris who is incredibly anti-gay, fitting into my uber-stereotype.

This. No actually this guy is crazy, most people in Texas don't ride cows to Wal-Mart
