Possibly, the attitude of superiority from Texans? You just did it yourself
by calling other states "lesser", maybe unconsciously, but still done

I'm embarrassed for both of us. I threw that one out there (which I
thought was pretty good...) and you are the only one that bit. I
guess I'm gonna have to leave that finer bit of posting art to "r".

Get a group of Californians ragging on Texas (even though they
haven't
and you can't get a word in edgewise from all the whining.

Based on personal experience. I has a sister that lived in CA, and
almost without fail when visiting we were greeted with an eye roll and
heavy sigh when we folks we met where we were from. Odd, not so much
in the north end of the state...

And, you're still doing it by accusing Californians of whining. If you're
going to voice a complaint about people criticising Texas, then it would be
helpful to your case if you didn't do it by criticising other states at the
same time.

Thanks, Dad. But I wasn't making a case. It was my personal
observation.

I don't know any Texans much less anybody from the US that I knew was
American, so all I can do is voice how it appears to me as an outside
observer.

So with no dog in the contest.... this is just personal?

Just take a second and breathe. I can't think of anyone that enjoys a
"Texas" joke more than a Texan. The state is physically so big and
diverse that jokes and ribbing abound covering all aspects of the
state. We aren't always too PC, and for the most part don't care.

Please don't turn Leon and me in...
