The only way Texas would ever be cool is if everyone who lives there died. The people there are the reason Texas sucks. I know someone's going to say Austin is neat and liberal and unlike the rest of Texas, but they still loving suck hog dick. Sorry you all have tiny dicks and have to talk about your state like anyone gives a poo poo to make you feel cool.

Oh don't paint us like we're all Rick Perry. You act like the moment you set foot over the border you're gonna get lassoed and dragged behind a horse for liking gay people and wanting to let women get abortions. We're working on it so don't be such an Impatient Ingrid. AFAIK we've also never tied a gay dude to a post and pistol-whipped the poo poo out of him like they did in Wyoming so take go take your liberal fag tears there.

Also have you ever even been to Dallas? That place is way gayer than Austin.

key west already considers themselves their own country. if they get too fed up with the US the plan is something like:

a) blow the bridge
b) moon anyone that tries to take it back
c) moon all the navy people stationed there
d) drink more

most of your elected officials are retards. if you don't want everyone to treat your state like it's the dumb redneck filled wasteland that it is, maybe try electing someone with half a brain some time.

However, some men were also drawn to the frontier because they were attracted to men.[59] Other times, in a region where men outnumbered women, even social events normally attended by both sexes were at times all male, and men could be found partnering up with one another for dances.[58] Homosexual acts between young, unmarried men occurred, but cowboys culture itself was and remains deeply homophobic.[dubious ] Though anti-sodomy laws were common in the Old West, they often were only selectively enforced.[60]

Actually the Dallas area is really improving. There seems to be enough influx from other areas of the country that the standard redneck poo poo is mostly going away. Many people see Texas becoming a swing state like Florida in the near future.

I'm sure its fair to extrapolate the culture and social atmosphere of a State with 26 million people and 260,000 square miles based on a handful of news stories and anecdotes.

But if you've committed to the bit, then I expect you judge every group of people by its most hateful and sensational members.

the dallas ft. worth metro area seems like it should not exist. it just doesn't feel right. driving through it takes something between forty five minutes to an hour and a half (clocks do not work as soon as you hit the perimeter bubble). expect anyone that drives a pickup truck to cut you off without using a turn signal

the panhandle is texlahoma so act as if you were in oklahoma, aka go somewhere else as quickly as possible

west texas is empty (except ft worth e: oops I mean el paso) and pretty in the places that aren't barren stretches of tumbleweed (though the barren stretches are most of it). the only manmade objects you will see are those border patrol suvs lurching along at 2mph

the houston to beaumont area is fine, you get to be by the ocean like a coastal elite!!! even if with all of the petrochemical refineries you can't actually touch the water without risk of immolation. I think the suburbs go on for a few hundred miles.

san antonia is fine too. once you start getting closer to mexico from there you can get everything at cheap prices and get a bunch of weird flavored mexican frozen treats

I don't know anything about austin

Also the Panhandle being Texklahoma is not very accurate. It's conservative but not anywhere near the least conservative parts of Oklahoma.

you're probably right, I mean texlahoma more like a mix of the texas nearest to it (lubbock and dallas?) and of oklahoma. and if you are there why not be in a different part of texas that does not have any oklahoma contamination?

if that is still a bad description then I will accept that

Lubbock is very friendly and has a low cost of living while being easily navigable and avoiding the haphazard expansion of other cities like Dallas that make it impossible to get from one side to the other without it taking an hour and a half. Our 5 o'clock traffic is at worst an extra 30 minutes.

Yeah it's a bit young and taking a while to catch up but many are finding how lucrative it is do business here. Also it's okay to be openly gay here and espouse whatever ideals you have. The college town aspect has also added a great deal of diversity here as well. It's an okay place to visit but a nice one to come home to.

Basically, keep on hatin'.
