Dallas, The good: GREAT tittie bars. Hot women (as long as they don't talk). Good food (which creates more fat people).

Austin, The Bad: Fat people. Racism. Bad drivers. gag// Republicans gag//. Stupid women. Smelly, dirty hippie women. Superficial hippies. "Weird Austin" died a LONG time ago. No culture. No music except indie. Frat guys. Few natural resources. Nothing to do outside except sweat or swim. Bad traffic. Too much weed.

Austin, The good: GREAT bars. Hot women (as long as they don't talk). Good food (which creates more fat people). A decent bike culture. Plush on Red River. The Guadalupe is only 30 minutes south.

Houston, The Bad: traffic. Heat. Humidity. Gangs.
Houston, The Good: ?


Everywhere is getting gentrified. That is a wash. Texas' biggest problem is the lack of outdoor activities. There are none short of tubing on the River. No mountains, no beaches except the far south, no decent hiking. That is why our restaurants are do well developed. We have to find something to do to stay out of the heat or the cracking cold (We only have 2 season's here).

If you are an outdoors type, move to Nashville, Tennessey. Its a lot like Austin (Girls, food, music) but there are hills, trees and seasons. If you like drinking and sweating, move to Austin. If you like tittie bars, move to Dallas. If you like lying in a pool of your own blood and sweat, move to Houston.

Remember the Alamo.
Are you kidding? Texas as some amazing hiking and mountain bike trails.

Well on the Dave and Busters scale:
You see where Houston has 2 Dave and Busters, Dallas has 3 Dave and Busters... and where Austin has 1 Dave and Busters, Houston and Dallas have 5 combined.

Amazing like amazing we were able to scratch a tail out of the Texas scrub, or amazing as in "This trail is amazing!"? I've been to most of the trails around here. Amazing is not a word I would use... apparently you haven't been to Colorado, Utah, The Pacific North West, The Smokey Mountains, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii...

Texas: NOT amazing. The only mountains that are amazing around here are made in a lab and are installed for $4000 apiece.

I have and I would say you have missed some amazing places that are closer to home. Of course it takes a heap load of gas to get anywhere in TX. This is why so many miss out but, it is also what makes those places perfect. You are nowhere near any of the things that everybody seems to dislike about TX.

There's only four places left in America in which the putrid smell of fucking patchouli oil can be found wafting everywhere:

Austin, San Francisco, and the entire states of Vermont and Oregon.

Let's not shower for a decade and then smother ourselves in patchouli. Yum.

God, I remember banging a chick in college - a quasi hippy wannabe. Beautiful ass, gorgeous. She just reeked with patchouli oil, and I just fucking pulled out and walked away; leaving her ass hanging in the air. Done. Over.

Classy, I know. But wtf. Patchouli. Just a wiff of it makes me vomit. Like clove cigs. Ugg. Fucking hippies.

Apparently. 30 years and I have yet to see anything naturaly beautiful about Texas that wasn't viewed from my rearview mirror.

In Europe and the US, patchouli oil and incense underwent a surge in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, mostly among devotees of the free love and hippie lifestyles. It has also been used as a hair conditioner for dreadlocks. One study suggests Patchouli oil may serve as an outdoor insect repellent.[3] In several Asian countries, such as Japan and Malaysia, Patchouli is also used as an antidote for poisonous snakebites.
I guess I'll take the insects advice.

Make sure you LATHER it on..... With a nice horsehair brush, preferably.

God.

How anyone can find that smell sexy or appealing is beyond me entirely.

I lived (with my parents) in Dallas for 4 years and Houston for 9 while growing up and have been to almost every corner of the state. Austin is OK at best, but Houston and Dallas have much more to offer. Dallas has a gereat house and jazz scene, but...

Texas, is the home of the Bush clan :twisted:, Ross Parot, hot ass weather, largest prison system in the US (BTW the US has the most people in prison in the world), 407 executions since 1982 with another 367 waiting for their turn, if you sell more than 7 grams or in posession of more that 4 ounces it's a felony. Trust me, I had some friends learn the hard way. The other drug laws are off the chain, often minimum sentencing spans from 5 or 10 yrs or up to life for posession or distribition. (for a first offense) If you like to party I wouldn't suggest living there.

Like they say, don't mess with Texas; I however plan on never setting foot in the state again.
and people wonder why foreigners call us cowboys.

and last but not least, if these reasons aren't enough for you why Texas sucks, here is a list of..

Dumb Texas Laws
When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

A city ordinance states that a person cannot go barefoot without first obtaining a special five-dollar permit.

It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
You can be legally married by publically introducing a person as your husband or wife 3 times.

It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers. You don't need a windshield, but you must have the wipers.

It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.

It is illegal to milk another person's cow.

A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.

It is unlawful for a person to consume an alcoholic beverage while operating a motor vehicle upon a public roadway, if the person is observed doing so by a peace officer.

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Abilene
It is illegal to idle or loiter anyplace within the corporate limits of the city for the purpose of flirting or mashing.
Austin
Wire cutters can not be carried in your pocket.
Beaumont
Collegiate football is banned at Lamar University.
Borger
It is against the law to throw confetti, rubber balls, feather dusters, whips or quirts (riding crop), and explosive firecrackers of any kind.
Clarendon
It is illegal to dust any public building with a feather duster.
Dallas
It's illegal to possess realistic dildos.
El Paso
Churches, hotels, halls of assembly, stores, markets, banking rooms, railroad depots, and saloons are required to provide spittoons "of a kind and number to efficiently contain expectorations into them."
Houston
Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on Monday.
It is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
Galveston
It is illegal to drive a motor car down Broadway before noon on Sundays.
Jasper
Dogs must be on a leash at ALL times. Fine of 100 dollars.
LeFors
It is illegal to take more than three swallows of beer while standing.
Lubbock County
It is illegal to drive within an arm's length of alcohol - including alcohol in someone else's blood stream.
Mesquite
It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts.
Port Arthur
Obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator.
Richardson
It is now illegal to place a "for sale" sign on a car if it visible from the street.
It is illegal to do "U Turns".
San Antonio
It is illegal for both sexes to flirt or respond to flirtation using the eyes and/or hands.
It is illegal to urinate on the Alamo.
Temple
No one may ride a horse and buggy through the town square.
You can ride your horse in the saloon.
Cattle thieves may be hanged on the spot.
Texarkana
Owners of horses may not ride them at night without tail lights

and this takes the cake

The sodomy statute which makes private anal and oral sex between two consenting adults of the same gender a class C misdemeanor
This was finally overruled byt the US supreme court in Nov 2003.

facts about the US
As recently as 1960, every state had an anti-sodomy law, according to The Associated Press. In 37 states, the statutes have been repealed by lawmakers or blocked by state courts.

Texas, not the place for me!
Stuff I actually use.
