so much for dumping Texas.... fuckers

The reason Texas became a state is becuase they were broke and the US would pay off their war debt if they became a state.

Kinda the first welfare state?

Yeah fighting a war that the US would have had to fight if Texas had been a State at the time.

Piss-poor argument there buddy.

Much like simply paying for territory rather than conquering it. I see no real difference. The government of the US wanted to expand their territory and were willing to pay for it rather than fight.

The consumption of armadillo meat is the only known source of leprosy in the US. I prefer not to eat it, even though leprosy is now curable.

I suspect Grind had something to do with that. And I second everything Ib1 just said. I was just in Seattle today, getting sunburned and watching the Mariners beat the Red Sox (hell yeeeah!). Awesome city!

Also enjoy winning for once, I know you guys aren't used to it.

Seriously, look up the stats. There are very few cities with a higher percentage of the population having college degrees than Seattle. Nothing in Texas even comes close.

And what the heck are you talking about me being a liar? I gave you a picture showing you precisely what the tags are for this thread.

Some are better placaes to live than Seattle. I hate big cities.

Big cities kick ass! Of course urban or suburban is a personal preference.

Screw that, I like living on the lake and having room to play. I can drive to a big city for what it has to offer.

Haha... I like living in the city and driving to the lake for play. :)

I'm also single with no kids so suburban life may appeal to me one day but not right now.

Oops, again you beat me to it! I wouldn't chance it either. What's the saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!".

My best time is early morning and late nights, so I like having my house out here.

I lived in Atlanta for a few years. The drivers were nuts.


To each their own.

Exactly. BTW, did you read the Thomas Covenant series? I'm about to start a re-read of it; it's been several years, time again.

Yes I did and loved them. The only bad part was when I finished the 1st book of the 2nd trilogy I found out he hadn't even WRITTEN the next installment. I was fit to be tied.

I did not realize intil recently that there were more than the original 6 books.
 
Scratch that, there are two books out and another being written.

I'm going to wait until he completes the trilogy before I get started.
