Jessica 0 #26 March 13, 2001 QuoteI heard that the only reason Californication was still here and had not fallen into the ocean (san andreas fault) was because texas hasn't quit sucking... is this true (tee-hee)????Bah...that would be funnier if Texas actually bordered Calif. Texans can take the moral high road here, and smile indulgently at these "jokes" obviously born of jealousy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchboy 0 #29 March 13, 2001 QuoteThe 2% of Americans who are aware of a world outwith their borders (bet NONE of them are from Texas - sorry, couldn't resist the sideswipe) will no doubt know that the French are our closest neighbours and as such we are bound to them by ties of Jealousy, hatred & suspicion.Well I didn't want to go there, but since you brought it up. I have spent lots of time in the UK (that's the uck, not ue-kay, pronounce it right). I was amazed at home many brits have never left that pathetic little island you claim houses three countries in your "kingdom". You're only 50 miles from France or Ireland and yet most of the brits I know have never left that little island. So what is up with calling your states countries anyway, does it make you feel better or something? How does it feel to be a subject and not a citizen? I'm just having a little fun with you, but I was seriously suprised at how few of you have ever left the island.On a more serious note, I have never seen such violence in my life as some of the things I've seen in London. You're 3 times more likely to get mugged there than New York City! I actually saw a young punk hop out of his car and threaten to smash some poor old man walking down the sidewalk (pavement) with a bottle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patkat 0 #34 March 13, 2001 Absolutely right, Laz - which explains Skyhawk's high opinion of his homeland. When ya start at the bottom every direction you go is up! And as for this whole Texas/restoftheUS/England(or is that Great Britain?)/France thing - you're all part of the conspiracy to hide the encroaching evil bent on taking over the world - Canada! Ever since they realized what a raw deal they got upon emigration to the new world (fur?!??!!! we got fur? and the other colonies get the good weather, fertile lands, and all the rest?) Canadians have been plotting - establishing themselves as a member of the Commonwealth so as to suck up to Mother England, and the Quebecois adding a sop to France, becoming the ever present, ever second tier ally, inviting us north without passports so we get to like their socialized medicine and parliamentary procedure. They send us their quarters, carefully sized to not quite work in our vending machines, they put The Kids In The Hall on cable tv, they open strip clubs in Niagara Falls to tempt our youth. They will make their move soon, and the next thing you know, we will all be calling sofas chesterfields, buying Barenaked Ladies albums in ever greater quantities, and ending every statement with "eh?" And they will not stop with the U.S. No, all ye Britons, Francais, Aussies, yea, even ye Texans will fall before their cultural juggernaut!! Be warned!Oh, wait. I actually rather like Canada. Never mind.-patkat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #35 March 13, 2001 Hey DutchboyLess than 20% of Americans will ever travel out of the US in their lives. That 20% is probably almost entirely made up by your military invading little countries in Africa where the people are only armed with sticks and blunt stones. Also, it really amazes me that 4.5 million tandem jumps were made in the USA last year - according to Time magazine one out of every three Americans is overweight and and another one out of every three is obese. But, hey, you guys aren't fat, you've all got that genetic problem which only affects your part of the world.... As for you, Skyhawk, yep, Australia definitely still is a *penal* colony! lmaoNow could you guys leave the UK alone, they have a past as unblemished as me and my fellow white South Africans...oops, err, I'll be washing my glass house now, preparing for the inbound objects./sPS everybody leave Texas alone, just because they dress all gay and over-compensate with those over-sized trucks and big guns, is no reason to pick on them, mmmkay?

When ya start at the bottom every direction you go is up!--------------------------------------------And don't you forget it! As we speak there are armies of Australians ready, willing and able to march on UP. For years they have been preparing themselves for this mission. They've been improving their physical condition by playing the collision sport known as Aussi Rules. Their strength has been increased to mighty proportions by the consumption of the "Cold Pie and Warm Beer" football meal and now they are READY. Currently we are Down Under but we will, sooner than you think, be Up Over.Now behave or I'll send an aggrieved New South Welshman to deal with the lot of ya...:-) NSW is where the original penal colony was and they're _still_ narky bastards in that part of the world...:-)OorooMark F...

Trent 0 #40 March 13, 2001 British people suffer from a cultural effect known as "I-Once-Was-A-World-Power-Now-I'm-A-Joke" syndrome. I mean, come on!! Who takes you seriously? You're just the northernmost district of France anyway. And the way you "chaps" are trying to take on just about any state or country bigger than you REEKS of Napoleon complex. (Maybe the French invented that, but Y'ALL seem to have perfected it)Jessica is right, we don't have to defend ourselves. We Texans can be quite content knowing that we are vastly superior to any single state or country in the world.It's okay, we just know better.Hugs and kisses,Trent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #41 March 13, 2001 Funny thing though, us South Africans, the Canadians, the Kiwis and the Aussies all declared war the day after Britain in 1939. Hmmmm, now I wonder how great America (including Texas) would be today if we had also decided to wait 3 years before deciding to get in the mix?And for the record, less than 15 years after the English had imprisoned South African Boer women and children in concentration camps, we volunteered for the first big one. I think I'm starting to see why people think us South Africans are so aggressive and always keen to fight (as borne out by my inflammatory posts).
