Can we get a dedicated place just to bash Texas. With all the wacky new legislation being proposed by the newly elected, I’m thinking it may be more efficient just have one place to do it. To the rest of the country. Sorry, we’re outnumbered here. We tried to prevent this. ---

I think you’d have to include Florida. Every time i read a story about some crazy or idiotic or retarded thing, it seems to come from Florida. ---

Can we have another forum just to bash the Longhorns? They suck. ---

I had the misfortune of growing up in West Texas. I would wholeheartedly approve of and welcome such a forum. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > I had the misfortune of growing up in West Texas. I would wholeheartedly approve of and welcome such a forum. Every time I see something in the Pit I think “please god, not us again”. Far to often it is. For a while, it was Arizona, but now Texas is actively trying to outdo them. Having a dedicated forum would allow me to know ahead of time. It’s in here…it’s about Texas. ---

Change is coming to Texas, the signs are there. I send encouragement to my lefty pals and gals who struggle in the colon of the beast. Encouragement and support. From _waaaaay_ up here. ---

From _waaaaay_ up here. Thanks. I am so far behind enemy lines here, I fear I will never get out. There are pockets of resistance though. ---

Just hop on 35W, headin’ north, you can be in Mpls in 28 hours. Upside: freeway all the way. Downside: goes through Oklahoma. ---
