    36 reasons why Texas sucks

    1. Texans. Socially retarded acts of bravado. Lack of self awareness.
    Isolationistic in thought. Kind of like someone who was raised under a
    rock, but the rock was big, so they boast about how big the rock was.
    There's more, but, man, it's so sad - and they don't even know it!
    2. Tx is a Mexican border state. Complete with roads traveled by drug
    cartels feeding the increasing violent crime rate, drug use, and ever
    expanding prison population in Tx. That isn't nice and I don't have
    this problem in my state.
    3. Leading state for hate groups. There are more registered hate
    groups in tx then any other state. They all hate different groups for
    different reasons. When you get right down to it, no one is safe in tx
    - not even texans. Testament to tx long tradition of nice, down to
    earth, clan members and level-headed cult fanatics.
    4. Over industrialization of undesirable industries. Yes, when you
    visit tx, you get the full impact of what a cesspool they've made out
    of their state with factories, oil refineries, and chemical plants.
    Don't get me wrong, it is good somebody is manufacturing this stuff
    out there, but, man, you've got to be six flags short of a theme park
    to live amongst the stench-filled, chemical run-off, heat-fest that is
    tx.
    5. Texas as a state ranks in the top 5 of all states for all major
    pollutants. Go figure. The EPA says you can't breathe the air for fear
    of carcinogens, can't drink the water for fear of toxins, can't eat
    the seafood for fear of mercury poisoning, and the Taiwanese plants
    spill high levels of run-off into the neighborhoods. That isn't good
    either!
    6. "Clampet" stereotypes which aren't all together untrue. I've never
    seen any other collective bunch unwittingly living up to negative
    stereotypes. Perhaps some t-shirts can be air dropped to them. You
    know, t-shirts that say something like, "thank god i struck oil, cuz
    my double-wide needs a fixin"
    7. Texan's general confusion between pride and reason. there is a
    healthy pride, and then there is a texan pride. actually, a texan is
    proud of his state like a branch davidian is proud of his cool-aid.
    8. Corrupt institutions of business. Enron was a great. But, no one
    can beat the oil companies for blood money, environmental destruction,
    greed, and corruption. a texan would tell you that corruption only
    exists in zip codes outside their magical state. is this true?
    9. Cults. Kind of self explanatory. Apparently, tx is the perfect
    place for those who like to organize and be merry while preying on
    kids. Gotta love tx.
    10. Backwards thinking. State first? Country second, or is there
    something between state and country like, i don't know, socks or
    peanut butter? You gotta love state first mentality. If the country is
    attacked, would tx just side with mexico just to save your state? Kind
    of like, if your house was burning, you'd only save your bedroom. Lots
    of reasoning there. wait a minute! i'm going to start a new one. it's
    called home owners association first! Hey tx, do you shoot people in
    the back too?
    11. Worst humidity and dew point. Yes it is true. Houston/bay area is
    tied with annual averages for the worst humidity and dew point in the
    united states per NOAA. In a nutshell, it's like a sauna. a constant
    sauna for 7 months out of the year. what's even better, is there are
    no seasons!
    12. Hurricanes. you got it. more of my tax dollars go to natural
    disasters like hurricanes in tx. nothing like every hurricane season
    fearing the wrath of god upon your family and home.
    13. Tornadoes. this must have to do with the fact that tx leads the
    nation in the amount of trailor homes as a percentage of all homes.
    the good thing is, tx is flat and has nothing around for 100's of
    miles. so, not many people should get hurt except those who ask for
    it. you know, texans.
    14. Trailer trash. "T" stands for trailor trash, tornadoes, truck
    stops, terrible, tacky, terrorist, taliban, travesty, and one
    more...uh...dang, i forgot.
    15. Prison over population. tx just can't kill 'em fast enough.
    16. Gun rights. Hey look, texans need their guns because the state is
    unwilling foot the bill for adequate policing and safety like other
    states. state first! citizen last!
    17. Highest unwanted teen pregnancies. According to a Houston paper,
    they like to do more than play with barbies down in tx. Apparently
    they like to get pregnant and be a mom at age 12 too.
    18. Poorly educated. STILL poorly educated compared to other states.
    when are the oil guys going to pay for schools.
    19. Lack of affluence. This is something oil money cannot buy. you can
    be rich, but you can't find Oklahoma on a map.
    20. Cities annex neighboring towns just to boast on size. truly texas.
    guess what, everyone can see thru this. when your metro area is a 10th
    the size of other metro areas, you kind of get the idea your just
    being typical tx.
    21. Highest accident rate of any state. Listen, you have to drive 2
    hours to get to what places the rest of us can get to in 30 minutes. I
    would drive fast and not care about my life too if I lived in texas.
    of course, the accident rate also includes factory explosions, etc.
    22. Texas consumes more energy than what is produced by the state in
    terms of gross product per the dept of energy. texas is an energy
    empire. unfortunately, their bragging is unsubstantiated when they
    claim the power the world.
    23. highest in-sourcer (more people working for foreign firms -
    helping make $ in foreign investments). guess what, more citizens in
    tx by percentage aren't contributing a dime to u.s. investment.
    24. High cancer rate. of course. you don't roil your state with
    anything goes industry without paying for it do you?
    25. High obesity rate - must be the dependence on mexican food, bbq.
    That's Mexian food, you know, it's what makes tx so exotic.
    26. Rated one of the 'least livable' of all states in 2008. It's just
    an article. but it was nice.
    27. Floods. It is wonderful how tx is famous for its natural
    disasters. Stevie Ray Vaughn sang about it. He's a texan, i like
    Stevie ray Vaughn, and if i lived in texas I'd sing the blues too.
    he's just telling it like it is.
    28. Lack of water to most of the state, high cost of water. Are you
    kidding? you can't drink oil?
    29. Toxic levels of mercury in fishing off texas shore. Already
    covered. I like eating thermometers. maybe i should move to tx.
    30. No mountains. Tx is beautiful with flat dusty fields of dry dirt
    for 100's of miles until you get to some hills with nice folks with
    guns. tx. great place to drive thru on your way to somewhere else.
    31. Beaches are contaminated. Galveston is called a resort town.
    compared to my state, galveston is a cesspool with an oil platform
    right on the beach while you swim among signs that warn you about
    hepatitis.
    32. Pronounced pride and prejudice. back on the pride kick. can't have
    pride without prejudiced. oh wait, i can.
    33. Nice people - to your face. The rest is some kind of judgment call
    made on their own arcane beliefs.
    34. Lost perspective of their country. I guess if your trapped in an
    abyss, you lose all hope that there is more out there.
    35. Texas tea smells like wafting B.O., a sulfur pit, and a manure
    farm. oh wait, tx oil towns are right next to sulfer pits which are
    right next to ranches. that leave's B.O., which is the illegal
    immigrant day laborer who has to work illegally at all these places in
    order to make ends meet.
    36. Sports are competitive. That's why academics aren't. Luckily their
    close to country where they can get cheap anabolic steroids and other
    enhancement drugs you cant buy in the u.s.

        Re: 36 reasons why Texas sucks

        39 reasons that Texas is better off than most states, THEY ARE NOT BROKE like the 39 states who think Texans are crazy.

        They also boast the lowest unemployment, best available jobs for normal folks, and dole out a very low percentage of their moniey to illegal aliens per capatia.

        Seems like the rest of this liberal minded world might want to reconsider Texas politics as a moels for such places as NY, CA, and other states who liberals ( make that UNIONS )have total control over.

        Oh yeah, for 100 years, Texans are reffered to as hicks by the east coast educated elietist. who bankrupt and run their states into the ground and wonder what went wrong.

        Retire in Texas, you gwet a decent pension. Retire from California politics, you get well over 100 K per year with cost of living increases and life time healthcare and you can still get paid to hold a new job and no reduction in your pensions or healthcare.
        We got water dept managers dragigng in as much as $499K per year pension, plus benefits and still elgible to hold anoyhrer high paying pubic job.

        Our Ex police chief in LA gets over $250 per year and hold a city counsil seat at $169 per year on top of his police pension.

        Average street cop retire art 50 to 55 years old, 100 % pension pay, and can almost doube that if he can prove a "disability" . Plus he is free to do construction work or anything else he wants to do.

        Same will almost all teachers, Cal Trans and other gov't employees.

        The bill to keep even each year in California just to pay for existing pensions is over $100 million and going up.with cost of living increases.

        Unions run America, and Washington is the worst and getting even worse. $0 Carz's ? And there stafffs ? Why ? Who really needs them ?

        Texas is your smallest problem.

                            I'm not for banning people on this site, but if you don't even own a ski and all you do is use this site to stir up trouble (and admit that you're intentionally doing so), then you should be banned.

                              Agreed. This guy's probably just a drunk with an internet connection, who was bullied by his wife to sell the pwc just because they had a kid. Kids are one of the best reasons to have pwc in the first place...
