Shut the fuck up! Stay out of houston in your homogenous boring suburbs. While you pimp your girl, post pics of your twig and berries and spy on your neighbors.

Oli doesn't live in houston he lives in the burbs where he doesn't have to intermingle with people who are different than him.

In his defense he was saying that is the view certain people take.

I dont know about this country music you speak of but I usually hear these kids jamming out to rap or spanish music.

Doesnt houston or maybe its austin have a giant under ground cove beneath the city full of super sold rock formations carved out by water over thousands of years. I saw it on the history channel i think looked really cool. Oh and the fact that Cloak and Dagger the movie was taped in Texas reduces you reason count to 40,687,142 buster.

Yeah, that's Natural Bridge Caverns between San Antonio and New Braunfels. Which is about a 20 minute hike north from San Antonio on I-35. Pretty cool place...

We have all the restaurants. All the clubs, bars, pubs, downtown! Minute Maid park, Reliant Arena and Toyota Center. We have the galleria, montrose, heights, river oaks. We have ethnic diversity, multiculturalism, and generally speaking good peoples.

What do you have? A big house out in Butt Fuck Egypt.

I'll stay in my shithole aka houston

Oh, I have those things too. They're a short drive away. You couldn't pay me to live near there, though. It's why people have a bad view of Houston. They visit 'actual' Houston and they see a very run down area.

Umm...
 
Texas sucks indeed. It' chick full of fatties and long boring stretches of highway lined with nothing but dirty fast food restaurants.

"Hi, my name is Gary. I like the suburbs because, you know, it stays WHITER out here."
 
OK, Houston isn't very good right now, no. It's too hot for man or beast, which is a good thing because at least all the 400-pound women are staying inside instead of diverting your attention while driving.

However:

- It's mega cheap (especially considering it's the 4th largest urban area in the us)
- Congestion isn't that bad
- It's not all that Texan, unless you consider barbecue joints "Texan"
- People are saner than in Los Angeles

That said, I'd rather lick a poo than live way out in the suburbs. I could get a 30-year mortgage out in Pearland, then by the time I pay it off, rising oil prices would make it worthless.

Ding ding ding! We've got a WINNER!

But seriously man, pretty much ANYWHERE is saner than LA.
 
It has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the suburbs, just how nice of an area the suburbs are. I don't know why everyone insists I dislike nonwhites.

And I finally read how they figure the fattest cities in the nation and it's really fucking stupid. Fast Food to Gym ratio? :lol
 
Olimario, I equate a hillbilly accent with one that annoys the fuck out of me, which is the reason I put it on the list. There are plenty of Rednecks there, which I also don't like, which is why it's on the list. Most rednecks have that accent. Do the math.

I'm quite happy for you that you love Texas so much Olimario. You're not going to change my mind that it's the worst place I've ever been to. I've backed up many of my reasons with fact, and like I said, I've been to 40 states - most of them 3+ times, so I've got a pretty good idea on which ones are good, and which aren't so good.
 
Ugh...they should have stayed where they were. I'm staying away from that area of 59 forever now. Between the Spur closing, the constant construction on 59, and now the church being moved into the Summit, 59 from 610 to 45 is basically a 2 hour drive.

Facts that support your subjective view on why it's bad. Mostly you just spout your opinions like we should all share them beause you've been to, GASP, 40 states.

I've been to some beautiful places, but I love living here. If I was forced to move it would be to St. Louis or Boulder, CO.
 
The crowd roared with approval throughout the message and was often brought to its feet as Osteen spoke in front of a large golden-colored globe that rotated slowly.

i can't complain.

im gonna check the church out hopefully next week. eventhough im tempted to bring those obnoxious foam fingers and cowbells with me. ill try and take pictures as well
 
Say what you will about Texas, but it has one important advantage over California:

Ferrets are totally legal, baby. So are hybrid wolves, if you're that kind of person.

Oh, I enjoyed my 20 years in the Clear Lake/Friendswood area. There's enough to do there, in downtown, in Galveston, and in surrounding cities to keep it nice. I can understand the view people would have about Houston, because if you aren't in Clear Lake, Katy, The Woodlands, or Sugarland, you're in a rundown shithole.
Click to expand...

Galveston? ...Galveston? Are you fucking kidding?

Clear Lake, Katy, The Woodlands, and Sugarland aren't even Houston; they're so obscenely far out from the actual city that you're probably closer to cities like Sealy if anything. The city's expanding out that way, notably towards Katy where every car manufacturer under the sun has a dealership running along I-10, but really, saying that's Houston is like saying Vancouver's part of Seattle.
 
I stopped reading after Lakewood Church... that's the only church, for reasons unbeknowst, to me that makes me angry.
 
And now a message from another Houstonian about the stereotypes:

1. Where the hell did you hear the accents? Did you hang out in the middle of butt fucking nowhere or something?

2. The traffic, yeah, it sucks.

3. The heat, thats why we gots a/c. Don't come in the summer if you want to be able to walk for three feet. If you aren't used to it, you won't last too long.

4. Don't judge it by the 'burbs, cause its mostly middle aged white people with famlies and take religion a bit too seriously.

5. Stay near downtown, preferbally in the montrose or heights and you will have a fun time.

6. Fun Fact about Houston people don't know: Houston proper is actually still a Democratic stronghold, with our mayors and most of the cities representatives in the Texas legislature and US House being Democrats. Houston suburbs are a different matter.

7. Or you could just go on to Austin, the Blue Island in a Sea of Red. And if you can't have fun there or see the beauty of it, you really need to reevaluate your life.
