1. I don' t think that thread is salvageable anymore
We may just need to hit alert on it.

Too many Texas haters to "reason" with. :grr:

2. As Waylon said,
"You just can't live in Texas, unless you gotta a lot of soul." They obviously don't, so they choose to bash. Nuff said.

3. I hit alert,
But now I'm starting to bash back. Whenever anyone posts a thread that mentions something stupid that happens in another state (like the Glen Beck key to the city thing), I'm bashing that state.
And it's kind of rich that someone on the thread linked in the OP was all for it, but that person is in Georgia. Talk about casting the first stone...

4. I hit alert yesterday too and mods didn't lock it
Too bad the mods aren't doing their job of stopping regional bashing. :shrug:

6. Well what can you say about that one?
Our own JohnColby opened that can of worms - let him feed it. I'm guessing he just likes to fan the hate.

:shrug:

7. DLCers are a strange bunch, all right.

That's all I'll say about that.


Dang... one basher's outrageously idiotic "nee ner nee ner" posts was deleted. Shame... it really painted an accurate picture of bashers' mentality.

9. Okay, I was having laptop problems and have been away over a week now
Edited on Wed Sep-02-09 05:02 PM by tammywammy
What's going on? Was there a specific incident that started this all off, or are we just at that part of the cycle, behind smoking but before breastfeeding?

Edited to add: I see our stupid governor was talking again. Really, I've just been work and school, no news for almost two weeks now.

10. Hey hon, you didn't miss anything
It's the usual Texas hating stupid.

On the same day we get 2,000 people to come to a town hall meeting in Austin where we drown out the tea-baggers, the haters focus on the 200 wing nuts who insist Perry follow through on secession. :shrug:

Hope you laptop doesn't need health care. :hi:

11. I bought a new lappy!
I think the old one knew it, cause the last week it was giving me the finger and saying fuck you every time I turned it on...it took a good 30 min minimum to boot up.

Anywho, I'm taking Texas state and local politics this semester at Tarrant County College. The professor wrong stated that Texas had special secession rights, I sent him an email today correcting him. Seriously, the professor said that. This class is beneath me. lol

12. Your professor said that about secession!
He sounds like some kind of stupid. I hope he's not a closet tea bagger. :crazy:

13. I haven't figured him out
The Thursday class after Sen Kennedy died, he said we should all give a moment to the good work he's done. But then he said something stupid about secession. He's originally from New York, so I want to let it slide, but then again, he's freaking teaching Texas politics, it's not hard to know that secession isn't allowed.

I dunno, I'll see what happens, I just need the A. Actually, no I just need a C, cause I'm transferring, but an A will make transferring easier. lol
