Hey everybody lookit me. I'm from texas.
Why is it everybody from texas trumpets it to the heavens like it's some kind of badge of honor? Only texans do it. Nobody from any other state feels the urge to boast about their state. I was pretty disgusted when that (expletive deleted), perry (bush wannabe) was applauded for executing over 200 prisoners. I'm all for the death penalty, but when those morons are executing innocent people and taking pride in it... I watched a documentary about that guy that was executed for immolating his kids? He was clearly innocent. I'd tell people what I really think about texans but I know some limp-wristed moderator would bounce this post if I did. Probably get bounced anyway.

I'm from Kentucky & think it's "heaven on earth"...now live in Texas so I'm proud here too, altho I never pledge allegance to the Texas flag, only to the American flag, never heard of pledging to a state flag until I got here. I think that's part of the "pride thing". I also believe patriotism is an American thing and part of the problem in our country is the courts upholding the desecration of our countries flag...it should be treason and carry a STIFF prison sentence. And no where in our country should another countries flag be flown. There's Mexican flags all over the DFW area, I just don't get it.
As far as the death penalty, it is a necessary evil in today's society. You do the best you can and pray to God you make the right decision. Obviously the jury didn't think this man was innocent....were you duped by the documentary? What I think is wrong is giving these people decades to appeal...

Yes, please do tell us what you think of a very broad, diverse demograghic that happens to have many, many good people in it....
Don't judge us by the politicians that so many of us scratch our heads over how the bippy they keep getting elected.
elpasoborn, I am sitting here aching that there is nothing I can do for you beyond hope and pray for things to get better.

Whoa! Hold on there pardner. Yer gittin' my hackles up! Don't get yer spurs all caught up in your long johns! Not everybody down here in the wonderful state of Texas was born in a corn crib and raised in a boxcar. Me, I was born in a bed and raised in a grain silo right next to my pa's horse, Loco, but that's beside the point. Now, nigh on 200 years ago, give or take, we dealt with them Mexicans at the battle of San Jacinto after they caught us with our pants down at the Alamo. They wanted this here piece of ground and we said "Come and Take It". Well, they bushwhacked us and kilt all our brethren during them fearsome seven days of glory. (MOD EDIT) It might seem a smidgeon brutal to some of you city slickers up there in places like New York City but down here our motto is "keep your nose clean, don't rustle no cattle or horses and don't spit on the sidewalk". Seems to work pretty darn good seein' all the mean and nasty hombres pull up stake and ride off to greener pastures, like Chicago. Now, about all them illegal folks that think they can just ride into Texas and take what they want, well, we'll just see about that. We may be Texas hicks but we Remember the Alamo, and we Remember Goliad!
