Re: The United States of the World
If so, you'd think they would try to teach creationism in our schools, and implement other religious doctrines, but they really don't. Our capital, Austin, is one of the most liberal cities in the country. We were a "blue state" until the '90's.Rochey wrote:I thought Texas was in the Bible Belt?

Re: The United States of the World
Huh, that's a surprise. I'd always thought Texas was just another fundie-filled Southern US state.
Nice to know I was wrong.

Don't get me wrong, there are nuts like that down here; they just don't have the power they seem to in some of the northern states.

The bible belt is all perception. I don't consider Missouri part of it, but people on the coasts do. I think of Missouri kind of like a suburb of the bible belt.Rochey wrote:Huh, that's a surprise. I'd always thought Texas was just another fundie-filled Southern US state.

How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Texans are just from the ones I've met at least, very protective of their ways and for the most part just want to be left alone.

Oh we didnt make the map...
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Think about it, Deep... what are some of Cali's most famous products? Cheese, wine, and garlic (which is very similar to onions.)Deepcrush wrote:How the %&$! did California become France!![]()

Re: The United States of the World
Well, my country was founded by traitors to the Crown, so I guess I can't really agree with you on that. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
