What is up with the EU?

[warpig13]

What were you stationed here for?
And let me guess...East Texas?

Im just saying, military isn't the most racially civil bunch of guys...if that is indeed why you were here.

And as for asking the minorities....Alot of people don't like it here period.
We get trapped up in the heat, let alone politcal and social reasons.

Trust me, our Gov. Rick Perry would have been thrown out long ago if someone better than Kinky Friedman had run.

And I don't want to change your "experience"....but let's put it this way.

You not being a long term resident give your opinion some bias.

You werent here for a very long amount of time.
The people you met, probably few in number, gave you the wrong outllook.
The places you were limited to probably gave you the wrong outlook.

Im just saying, think what you will, we are all entitled to our own opinion.

Just don't go givin AO the wrong impression of us Texans.




Just because we don't take kindly to your type here boy

Sure Austin was very cool, had a "friend" there and spent mucho time there. Lived in Dallas for a few months, was stationed in San Antonio for about a year.

As far as the military being diverse or tolerant Don't ask don't tell remember.

Im sure my kind is NOT welcome in Tx. I am able to think for myself and come up with my own opinion. (not intended as a snipe at you) I think we are in the same boat, but you're buying into that "Don't mess with Texas" thing a little to much. It's just a state, its not your identity.

No, im buying the "Don't make us all look like redneck racsit klan members: thing.

Many things can be changed about Texas.

Just......don't.....make....death...penalty.....go .....bye-bye

San antonio....I take by the name you are Air force?
Randolph or Kelly AFB?

Or were you on Fort Sam, the Ao name being a clever ruse?

So what happens when a country decides WE need to change the way we run OUR country.

This

[PyRo]

whats our national debt? 3 trillion now?

I say we declare bankruptcy.

You don't think they are all connected?

As I said I am pro death penalty but how many black people compared to white have been killed using the death penalty in Texas? How many black people compared to white have been convicted of a crime that carries the dp? Sorry, but I have spent a lot of time in Tx over the years, not exactly the most racial equality minded people.

Sence you brought it up, why does anybody need to "worry" about gay marriage. Give every American the same rights, enough said.

Quite the opposite. More blacks then whites are convicted of crimes that could carry the death penalty yet in an affirmative action effort the numbers of blacks and whites executed are about equal. That means that some blacks get out of the death penalty to keep it from gaining a racist connotation. Look at prison populations blacks are the majority, and hispanics are fast catching up to the whites. Is it racism?

Go Texas! Maybe we in the UK can export some of our murderers, rapists and child molesters to you. Might help you get to the 500 mark faster. In our news recently our courts ruled against deporting and ITALIAN murderer from UK to ITALY as it was against his human rights!!! Our justice is shot to pieces with P.Cness and until we sort ourselves out we should not even think of interfering with another nation's penal system. You get a from Niox.

Much love.

Warpig... I want to move to Texas - even applied for a Lockheed Martin transfer to mission control Houston. My fiance is always like, "No, it's too hot".

Any words of wisdom on what I can do to convince her to come to TX?
And if you have any extra time, words of advice on how I can make her Bi would be cool too.

(Actually, if you only responded to that second request that would suffice just fine too)

You might try convincing her during the winter (for whichever). A friend from Geneseo new york married a girl from a 'b-town' (Baytown or Beaumont) here in Texas. They moved to Geneseo and back twice because it was too cold and dark and she missed home. During the summer she was ready to go back to Geneseo, but I think they have been down here for the last three years. She wasn't Bi though.

Also, pick your area to sell. It's as bad as northern and southern california, but it varies east to west as well as north and south. After years near the coast, people have a hard time moving out to west Texas. East Texas is a very distinct region too. Even the people between Dallas and Fort Worth tend to have different attitudes. Same with Midland and Odessa.

The TI missle group is still around somewhere too, I think. The damn Osprey at Bell Textron refuses to quit. I had a friend that worked on the controls for the shuttle robotic arm at Lockheed (Clearlake), but he packed off to another company in california a few years ago. There's plenty of tech industries. But if you want to wear a tie, make sure it comes with air conditioning.

In the early 80's, people used to complain about all the new yorkers that came down (a lot with IBM). A lot of it was from hearing "we don't do it that way up north". You don't have to worry about that anymore. As long as you speak English, we will be happy to argue with you.

Houston is also very very big.

The winter here is the best bet.
Plus, this summer it rained here ALOT around San Antonio.

Houston you get a little bit more of a humid heat, seeing as it's closer to the cost, but San Antonio tends to have more of a dry heat.

Plus, my dad's a realtor here, he'll get you a place in no time
