Fuck you. Fuck you New York for being arrogant as fuck (and, realistically, dumber than fuck). Fuck you California for too many things to list. Fuck you Michigan for draining us with your shitty unions. Fuck you Vermont because... Well, because you're Vermont. We'll just carry this fucking country. Assholes.

In all seriousness, stop talking down to Texans. I don't want to hear a hick accent. I don't want to hear a joke about screwing someone's cousin. You sound like god damned retards when you confuse us with Alabama or Kentucky. Just realize these shit-kickers are kicking your ass right now.

What if, um, we're not from America, and we just think you all have those silly accents. You do, don't you?

And it's no wonder you have such a bustling economy, what with all your man-trucks floating around. Who needs to hire an 18 wheeler when you can get a guy who looks like one for half the price to do it for you?

I never really attributed Texans with incest, just being gluttonous fat-asses.

[Nattack]

the greatest, only texan i'll ever know.

[Metticus]

Hell yeah! We're #1! We're #1! We're #1! We're #1!
All you other states can suck it.

1) That's fine. You from across the pond? And no, not really, I've never had an accent. Actually, I have more of a Boston accent from living there for 4 years, while the majority of my life has been in Texas. I still say Boston like "Bahstan"

2) What the fuck is a man-truck?

3) You'd be surprised with how many people associate Texas with typical "Southern" stereotypes. Something about being all inbred hicks with no education. I just wanted to point out the glaringly obvious truth that if we were, then a group of inbred hicks with no education is producing more for your country than your own home states.

Considering we have like... 4 cities in the top 25 fattest cities (http://shine.yahoo.c...the-u-s-351934/), I can see the "fat" stereotype but realistically there's a reason for it - The food. Mexican food is awesome, but at the same time almost everything consists of fried white flour and lard (tortillas) or fried ground starchy vegetables and lard (corn tortillas) as well as rice, beans, tortilla chips, pico de gallos and salsas (mostly starchy vegetables), etc. Notice that El Paso, San Antonio, and Houston ("sanctuary city")

WTF, Michigan even fails at failing, 41????

WE SHOULD CL4IM TEH TOP SPOT FROM BOTTOM UP.... F UUUUUU ARASSSSKAAAA! Snake, your mission is to infiltrate Shadow Moses Island.

On a more serious note, my impression of TX has generally been positive. George Bush Houston Airport is clean, well organized, and friendly staff - much more so than other southern ones like that behemoth crapper at Atlanta and Miami International.

[rambus]

is this right? this is all I know about the texas stuff..

TAX US?

Awww no way, Church's fried chicken in the terminal? Atlanta-Hartsfield is the shit, and the staff are like, disturbingly friendly.
MIA is def a shithole, but wins on the sheer number of hot Colombianas y Puertorriquenas they manage to pack into that tiny immigration area.

So... Texas is one giant idiot savant?

First one made me lol

Some here do have a ridiculous pride for the state. I believe it was Rick Perry that called for secession, but that was just sensational speaking during some pretty turbulent times when we see everyone around us falling apart. It was hardly what most Texans think, though it's always something they will throw back in your face ("We were a country before we joined the US, we'll do it again!" - No we won't, we aren't retarded).

Cite me a solid scientific source that CO² gasses are causing global climate change, and I'll answer your question.

Of course you have an accent. There's no such thing as unaccented speech. Even Microsoft Sam has a particular accent, although I'm too lazy to figure out what it is. For someone from South Africa, the UK, Australia, or any of several other English-speaking places, your accent would almost certainly label you American, especially if you've got a Bostonian accent since New England is the only place I'm aware of that has retained certain linguistic traits from pre-colonial British English.

As for Texas, it suffers the same problem that every other large state (California, New York, even Ohio) suffers: it gets stereotyped to only one part of its population. People think of Californians as a bunch of hippies and I suspect most of us were surprised when they passed a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage. Upstate New York is about as conservative as conservative gets, but they whine constantly whenever a liberal action passes their state legislature. Texas ranges from shithole to urban paradise (or so I'm told), but the image that it gets saddled with (har har) is only a small part. Of course, Texans don't help themselves by promoting the stereotype.

[Fencer of Alexander]

Best accent is Singaporean Singlish with either Chinese/Indian sub-accent.

Example:

Only cause bush is back in Texas,and has all that ooiiilllll! Don't drop the yellow cake. Plus nothing inbred comes from Texas . Haven't you heard only Steers and Queers come from there, an son, I don't see horns on your head! XD

[Cruzandercerberus]

Virginia is only number 1 because it's next to D.C. And no one wants to live in D.C.

as a native texan, bush can go back to the yankee hell hole he crawled out of.

i am proud of being a relocated texan, and i do plan to move back "home" eventually. as far as the accent goes, path i think you missed the gist of what phlow was saying, he was not saying that he speaks with a total lack of an accent, but more so that his speech does not carry with it the normal regional tells. its actually quite common thanks to a steady stream of mass media being forced into our brains for the majority of our lifes. now when i am stressed my texas draw comes out, and aside from the peppered use of the word yall, or the phrase "tell you what" at the end of a statement. my speech has all the national distinction of a package of kraft cheese.

in my life i have had to answer the question of where i come from way to many times because of my bland homogenised speech, because i lack a distinct accent.

with that said now i want some churches chicken with a large big red and a big scoop of blue bell for desert. thanks phlow

Its a proven fact that British people possess no accent. It only sounds that way due to their horse teeth.

o.O Friendly terminal staff? Isn't that an oxymoron? Lol must be Southern hospitality, all the airport staff I've ever encountered treat people as if they just took a shit on their carpet.

[Usiio]

I isn't from America. I still think people from Texas have redneck accents, though. You can probably blame Hollywood for that, though, assuming that it is, as you say, a misconception.

[Phlow]

@path: Semantics. Griss hit the nail on the head: My accent is as vanilla as my honkey cracker skin color.

True 'nuff. What I was driving at was that if we are so redneck, why are we doing so well?

You can have your stereotypes, sure. Call is inbred, redneck, retarded hicks for all I care. It just makes it that much worse that we're one of the leaders in the pack.

I still haven't seen a source from Bamrus, so I'll keep driving nails in the coffin:

http://www.nextgener...ates/statelist/
Texas is ranked #1 in total emissions, but California is ranked #2. If Subram's logic is correct (which it never is) California should be doing aaaaawwriiiiiight. I heard they were paying their public servants in IOUs now, though.

http://www.nextgener...nearth.org/maps
CO² emissions per capita (that means "per person"). Go get on Wyoming, North Dakota, West Virginia, or Louisiana before approaching Texas. Hell, our number would look better if you counted the illegal immigrants (so would Cally's).

Oh damn. Blue Bells. You haven't had ice cream until you had Blue Bell's. If you get a chance to be in Texas, don't leave without trying some of that. Blows Ben&Jerry's out of the water.

Liked Big Red when I was a kid, now not so much - Tastes like sugary chewing gum. But respect knuckles for something so esoteric to the South.
