Most of us have biases about many of the states. Many threads get a variety of slightly off topic (and sometimes way off topic) comments. You kinda eventually learn to simply skim over / ignore whatever doesn't interest you or that you don't think is relevant. Sometimes you even skim / ignore posts by a specific person -- you can actually have the system sort of do that for you, if you want to flag a person as 'ignore'.

Then don't publicly run around with a "Texas flag". See: by founding the group alone you sent out a communication message - folks will react to your communications no matter you intended them or not. It's basically the same as putting a "Texas" bumper sticker on your car and then telling folks not to talk to you about the subject... folks might not talk to you about a Texas bumper sticker in an rural Texan town, but this is SL, an international community where a lot of people decide to tell you or not to tell you where they are from - leaving your group mostly with the !*T*E*X*A*S*! hyperpatriotic crew instead of the average regular Texas inhabitants. This leads to assumptions, assumptions you have done nothing to dispell by your behaviour - quite the contrary. PS: Side note: as funny as it is, your reactions to people you consider "Off topic" will help a lot of real average run-off-the -mill Texans to decide wether they want to join your group or not.

I went to Texas A&M, so I are an Aggie Engineer (pronounced with a hard “G”). Love, I have no idea why you think that statement is appropriate in any setting. I find it offensive, and I wonder why you are posting in this topic at all. It's only from the greatest movie ever.. Full Metal Jacket. Personally i find most outspoken Texans offensive.. They want to leave the US, hate Gays and anyone that isn't white, dumb and on Trumps jock... Hey look, more negativity!!!

I am completely aware of the stereotypes about Texas. I know that people like to judge, and not use their brains, about different places, and races. It does not make it ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonytorino Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 There are some truths about Texas and some that are simply to narrow because Texas varies in ideas, political support and community. Here in the south side of Houston, People around the surrounding annexes tend to be more moderate and liberal. It is a cultural melting pot, and Dallas and Austin also follow that pattern. Further south in galveston is a whole different place, where it is an island community a different then mainland Texas with a wide variety of people. Suburbs away from main cities tend to be more far right, and conservative towards others. In 90% of the main texas regions especially along I45 , no one can drive worth a darn and are straight up disrespectful especially in pickup trucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two favorite places in Texas are Austin and Galveston. San Antonio runs a close third. Of course, I knew those places best in the 80s and before. A lot has changed since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
