Personally, I just have serious questions about a place (like Texas) that people always feel so obligated to defend and go into attack mode when people say anything that can remotely be considered as an "insult." Criticize almost any place in the country and people will say, "Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree, I enjoy living there." But say it about Texas and it's time to start shooting and any contrary opinions are (pick one) biased, uninformed, or jealous. It's like everyone in Texas is getting paid by the state to convince other people that it's a great place. People go out of there way to talk up Texas even when it isn't even warranted. I was in Monte Carlo once and I heard some ******* with a bolo tie start yammering to no one in particular about how Monte Carlo wasn't anything like Galveston Bay.
I'm from Massachusetts. I liked growing up there, it was a varied and interesting place. But when someone (like someone from Texas, who has never been there 😉 ) says it's hell on earth, that's fine, doesn't make any difference to me.
No. This thread is less interesting and useful to the general population since the question gets asked twice a week now. 😉
