1. People in Texas are stuck on themselves - Seriously - to hear Texans tell it, Texas is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ad execs have been pandering to this for years with "Lone Star edition" trucks, "Big Tex" hamburgers, and even "Texas-sized savings" at your local grocery store. Enough already.

2. People in Texas are fat - 4 out of the 10 fattest cities in America are in Texas. Why? Probably because they "Texas-size" all the food portions. And with great barbecue, chicken-fried steaks, and Tex-Mex, that's not something that's likely to change. Ever heard of jogging, anyone?

3. Jerry Jones - The George Steinbrenner of the NFL. I love the 'boys, but I can understand how the rest of the NFL nation loathes this guy. And what's with the face-lift? Scary.

4. Nobody in Texas can drive - While Texans are generally more courteous drivers (except you, Houston), they are absolutely clueless when it comes to driving in rain or snow. There are more 5 mph wrecks when it snows than you can possibly imagine. One inch of snow? Cancel school and work, 'cause nobody's going anywhere. And has anyone ever heard of public transportation?

5. Dallas - Let's see, what to do in Dallas? There's the grassy knoll, and...nothing. Dallas is an absolutely awful city. Yet tons of tourists flock there every year to eat, shop, eat, and then eat some more.

6. Houston - NASA, Rice University and crappy sports. The world's largest sauna is also proud to be one of the world's largest parking lots. Never drive in Houston. Ever.

7. It's very close to Oklahoma - 'nuff said.

8. Political/business corruption - From Ma and Pa Ferguson to Enron, Texas has always been home to backroom deals and dirty politics.

9. High school football - Everything stops on Friday nights in Texas (during football season). People treat it like it's religion. For God's sake, people, it's high school.

10. Pat Green - I love to play the "how-many-times-is-he-gonna-say-'Texas'-in-this-song?" game (the same game can be played with 'beer'). This guy's a putz. We get it all ready, retard: you loooooooove Texas. Too bad you don't loooooooove writing decent songs (this goes for every other baseball-cap-wearin', name-dropping, 'Texas country' 'tard out there, too).

all in all, i agree with you.  you brought up some of my biggest complaints, but you missed one...


fake texas accents.  i can't stand the fucksticks that move down here from the north and talk like a hick.

NOBODY actually speaks like that.  seriously

a lot of people have a slight "twang", but the all out texas accent is bullshit.  if someone talks like that, they're trying way too hard.

It's always nice to see someone denigrate the Great State of TEXAS...it means we're worth starting a thread about and we have significance.

It's a shame the OP won't ever have significance of any sort.  Tearing down the greates state in the union to elevate one's own puny existence is hysterical.

/Born and Raised in Dallas for 20 years!

This is simple... Do Not come to Texas. Stay in North Carolina. I want to say something ugly about NC, but I have never been there.

I was born and raised in Texas. I love it. You are right about the driving in rain in snow. Im also not crazy about Houston and Dallas. I prefer San Antonio and Austin.

You need to see the better side of Texas. Big Bend, Gulf Fishing, East Texas Pines, Riverwalk in SA, Live Music in Austin, Rodeo, White tail deer hunting, Flores Country Store, Gruene Dance hall, tubing on the Guadalupe, Spanish Missions, lots lots more.

I wouldn't go that far. One of my best friends talks like Boomhaur (however its spelled) from King of the Hill. Just grew up in a small country town, nothin fake about it. But yeah, you can really tell the fake ones.

I agree wholeheartedly.  Is there anyway to give Texas back to Mexico or at least wall of Texas from the rest of the U.S.?

You left one off.

11) Texas is now full of assholes who moved here from somewhere else. They probably did this because Texas sucks so much.

That wasn't set in Texas either.

Keep it coming with your pictures.  Eventually you will find something from Texas...

Like Office Space? (Austin) The Alamo? (Bracketville) Giant? (Marfa) Lonesome Dove?


I have lived in other states.  But I always come back to Texas.

They're the stupid people that bought the line of BS that Texans have been selling for a century. You reap what you sow.

popcorn!

I live in Dallas and have in lived in Virginia for 20 years, Japan for three, Maryland for two, Pennsylvania for 7, Ohio for 2. I can say Dallas is the best place one could possible live. If your post is meant as parody or satire, fine. If not, then you have shown your ignorance. You are too stupid for words.

Yep, like a JOB.  California ran the business from Silicon Valley with the lack of water and Austin became the new home for AMD among others.  

During the Cold War peak, San Antonio was home to FIVE major military installations...home for ALL Air Force Basic Traning (Lackland AFB), primary flight training (Randolph AFB), SAC and MAC wings (Kelly AFB), the largest AF hospital (Wilford Hall), THE DoD Burn Center (Brooke Army Medical Center) and the Center for Aerospace Medicine (Brooks AFB).  Naturally, it became home to USAA and NCOA.

You forgot to mention that Texas is not half as big as Alaska.

Ever notice how you never see a thread saying "10 reasons to hate NC"?  It's because nobody ever thinks about NC long enough to come up with 10 reasons.

And that high school football comment should get him strung up.  High school football is king, followed closely by Longhorn football....lol.

So, when a Texan goes to NC, I guess we should slap in some BUBBA TEETH and fuck a boy to have a good time.

The only thing wrong with Texas is that I don't live there, they could use another gun nut like me. Pa and the northeast is becoming a real shithole.

Enough said.

12.  The Alamo, you got your asses kicked, and you are proud of it why?  
13.  The state is dead even with Kali for spanish speakers, anybody's guess which one declares it the official state language first.  
14.  Texas has absolutely nothing that other states don't have as well, except some weird overinflated State ego.  

Asheville smells like granola and B.O. - sometimes you can smell it deep in the PNF.

The Alamo held for 13 days, vastly outnumbered.  And though a lost battle, the war was won in a decisive battle at San Jacinto.

Colorado has no coastline.  Texas?  Check.

North Carolina has no desert.  Texas?  Check.

Florida has no mountains.  Texas?  Check.

Hawaii has no oil.

California has Fienstein and Boxer.  Texas has Hutchison and Coryn.  BIG CHECK.

Need I continue?

Noone knows any good put downs for North Carolina
because noone gives a fuck about North Carolina.
I can't think of a state with less national spotlight
,tradition, or heritage.  What happens in North Carolina?

More importantly, who fucking cares?

Get over yourself, and enjoy every aspect of your
very unremarkable state.

While I've lived here in Tx all of my life, I too am
sick to death of Californians and everyone else
that has flocked here and bastardized our area.

Any other Austin natives out there will know exactly
what I'm talking about.

Have a great day, ya'll.

What I don't understand about these lists is why is it such a bad thing to have pride in your state and where you come from? A lot of our families have been here since it was still part of Mexico and they fought to make it their own then eventually became part of the greatest country in the world.

I'm not offended or pissed off about the list, I don't neccesarily understand the point in it though either. No different than someone having pride in their favorite sports team, their heritage or anything like that. Driving depends on what part of the state though. Your right about the snow/ice part but depending on what side of the state some(key word) of us are very talented drivers in monsoon style rains.





I do agree about the high school football stuff though, some people take it entirely too far especially the small towns.
