WE have had a huge influx of Yankees. Might explain the dumbing down of Texas in general. You should see all the Brownstone looking neighborhoods that
are getting built. Makes ya'll feel at home I'm sure. I have been here 25 years, never has it been so full of of people that have no common decency.
Look at the statistics. Texas is still in a housing boom while the rest of the nation suffers horribly. Why is that? Too many Yankees comin here to
smartin' us up I suppose. Yet someone can say oh they jest stupid in Texas. You sound like one of the ones that moved here. And by the way, Yankees
are everyone that's not Texan. You say that kind of stuff in person to a Texan. He won't argue, he'll just punch you and let you figger it out.
Nice how the internet makes A-holes of people.

I'd have to seriously disgaree. I moved to TX from Ohio in 80, lived there till 83 and left because the people there were harsh mean folk. I went
back to rural ohio because the folks there were sweet and helpful.
I won't say All of Texas is that way, just where I lived... League City. Once, a lady in my APT building had acid thrown in her face... it was
really scary living in Texas, because all anyone wanted to do was fight.

I would love to see that statistic sourced.

This one shows it as lower, but still pretty high.

Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.

18-24.
I am not a democrat, but I was in that age bracket when the compelling evidence was laid out showing 9-11 was an inside job.

I don't think you can attribute the increase in religious intolerance to the "anti-religious crowd" in our country. I think it is more the result
of the influence of Christian fundamentalists in our society. Remember, the Puritans came to America because they wanted religous freedom. That
didn't mean they wanted others to have that freedom.

Yeah and keep in mind that the type of "religous freedom" the puritans wanted to practice was the ability to stick hot pokers through the toungues
of people they suspected of witchcraft (so much for true religous freedom).
The puritans were basically kicked out for being extremists.
