i would like to start off by saying that if you live in texas, or have random pride in the culture and state of texas, please forgive me because you may not like me after this post...
i do not understand the mindset of these people and its driving me crazy!!! i moved to TX from VA in july for college. the first thing that a person said to me when i told them i was from VA was that i was just a stupid yankee. yep, these idiots around here beleive that the CAPITAL OF THE CONFEDERACY was a yankee state. ever order a drink in TX? if its a soda you have to tell them what kind of "coke" you want. yes, anything carbonated and that has more than one syllable in its name is coke. pepsi is referred to as coke, root beer, dr pepper... anything carbonated thats multi-syllable. is it so fruggin hard to say PEPSI?!?!?. i work at a grocery store and someone will say "hand me a coke" when u give them a coke, or as everyone else on the planet calls it, coca cola, they look at you like yur stupid... "um, i wanted a dr pepper." WHY couldnt u say that to begin with. and thats not just a couple people you meet. thats every native born texan that ive talked to. anyone know what a deal is? most people think its a bargain or agreement made between two parties. nope. not in texas. a deal is anything u want it to be. "hand me the deal please.", "do 'yall sell deals here?", "im lookin for one of those little deals that u put the stuff in..." cant u at least say things???!!!?!?! and to make it worse it sounds like they are saying "dill". EVERYTHING thats not texan is evil, and NOTHING about texas is bad according to these people. and GOD FORBID you pay a tax here. the schools are falling apart, the roads are shit, and state employees get paid virtually nothing, and without benefits. as a result there are corrupt police departments, and badly run state organizations. generally, i am conservative, but these people make me look like a flaming liberal. there is no income tax here and it may seem like more money to you, but everything else is crazy priced. to get my car registered in VA it costs around $12. here, over $120. and in VA, the roads are nicer, and the state programs are less corruptive. on top of everything else, they have a daytime speed limit, and a night-time speed limit. WTF?? i have by no means completed everything i hate about this state, but this forum is probably not long enough. many will probably tell me to go back to where i came from. the reasons im here are the only reasons i like this godforsaken state... and thats my girlfriend (5 years going strong... love you baby!!), and the cheapass tuition!!!!!!!!
