"You can't handle the truth" -
You must have thought you could hide this from the Texas Calgunners by posting it in here, huh?!
No. 10 -- People Want to Come Here: California is suffering a higher rate of population loss compared to Texas. The people who are coming to California and staying are the prized Illegal Immigrants who are killing California like a Cancer.
No. 9 -- Big States Don't Cry: He was not being a "Cry Baby" by wanting to reaffirm our States Rights, he is doing his job as requested by Voters in his State. Governor Rick Perry is not perfect, but he is still leaps and bounds better at his job than Arnold.
No. 8 -- Our Waistlines Are Under Control: Given the fact that there are more drug users, hippies, vegans, vegetarians, and people on fad diets in California; Texas is in good shape. Texans actually eat well and live well.
No. 7 -- Hit the Beach: California's beaches are overrated, period. As an avid beach goer born and raised on a tropical island, I know what I am talking about. I've been to beaches all over Asia and the Pacific, and I can tell you that California has very crappy beaches. The waters are too cold in 3/4 of the beaches all year long and visibility is not that great. The reef system in California is not that great either and there is too much kelp and crap. Lastly, the surfing in California is weak compared to the rest of the Pacific Region.
Texas waters are not anything to write home about other than the fact we actually reap the bounty within by drilling for oil.
No. 6 -- World's Toughest Governor: Arnold is just a Steroid Head that was made into a tough guy by movie imagery. Governor Rick Perry is a legitimate outdoors man that can shoot, and is probably tougher in real life than Arnold.
No. 5 -- We Have Options: Texans have options as well because our cost of living is more realistic, Texans do a lot of travel because we have money to spend. My buddies frequently go to Colorado, and Utah for the snow, I go to Louisiana all the time, and my relatives visit Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Regarding our own Geographic diversity which I'm not going to kill bandwidth on, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Texas
No. 4 -- Plenty of Eye Candy: I beg to differ... There are so many more Naturally Beautiful women in Texas in my opinion. I also find Texan Women to be more down to Earth, and still holding traditional family values. Let me put it this way... Texas is not regarded as a Pageant State because we have ugly Women.
For the hunting folk let me put it to you like this... Compare a California deer to a deer from Texas. We've got more Trophy worthy game here compared to the scrawny, ugly game in California.
No. 3 -- We Actually Invent Stuff: Texas still does this in Alternative Energy, Oil & Gas, Medical, Technology, and Agriculture. Looking specifically at Technology; why do you think Austin Texas is thriving compared to Silicon Valley? Ever heard of Dell, Compaq, EDS, etc...?
No. 2 -- It's All About the Weather: Texas has a diverse climate regions, just pick the one that suits you. If you want to really play the Tornado Card, I'll play the Earthquake Card. Plain and Simple it is always easier to prepare for a Tornado and Hurricane than it is for an Earthquake. Can the USGS give you a 7-day advance warning? I thought so...
No. 1 -- California Isn't Home to George W. Bush: California is the festering sore, and growing tumor of the United States of America. There is so much vile political sewage coming out of California it is ridiculous!
California's political contributions of today = Pelosi, Boxer, Newsome, Schwarzenegger, Stark, DeLeon, etc...Last edited by NSR500; 11-03-2009, 9:02 PM.Comment

I'm originally from Texas and it's not the best state in the Union, but it is far from the worst. At least in Texas you can have a CCW, an AR/AK, a 15 round magazine and no stupidity about waiting 10 days.No. 10 -- People Want to Come Here
Would you rather see the Golden Gate Bridge or the Alamo? How about Hollywood or the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum?
I can also tell you that people who come here are shocked at the prices. Hotel prices, gas prices, food prices, housing prices, even toll bridge prices. I can't tell you how many people have said "This is ridiculous! How can people afford to live here?"
What's in Texas?
- Lower taxes
- Houses you can afford. - Big houses
- Plenty of land to build a new house on.
- And no whining for EIR's to protect a red-toed newt
- CCW's
- Gun Laws you can understand
- Cheaper gas
No. 9 -- Big States Don't Cry
When political life gets tough, we call emergency legislative sessions. We make tough cuts. If things are going south, we hold a recall election. Make fun of budget woes if you must, but we'll get through it -- and we'll do it with dignity.
Oh, bull cookies! The most recent CA budget woes are because the state capitol is infested with legislators bought off by special-interest groups. They couldn't cut funding on anything without worrying how it will affect their standing with special interest groups. Worse than that, they insist on funding special social programs over basic services - police, fire, ems, water and power. The eco-nuts control development in this state - we haven't built a new major power generating plant in almost 15 years in California. More refineries? Ha! The last one attempted got buried under EIR's and "special committees" for six years before the oil company just gave up.
No. 8 -- Our Waistlines Are Under Control
Everything in Texas is bigger -- including Texans.
When it comes to 2008 state obesity rates, Texas scored a 28.3. California scored 23.7.
Dear Texas, call us when your pants fit.
Dear Californian, call Texas when your pants fit properly and you've removed the collagen, silicone and other "enhancements" from your body. Pants should not be so tight that we don't need to imagine what's underneath -- or so baggy that the crotch is near your knees. And once you put some mass on your skinny little bodies, we'll teach y'all that BBQ does not mean just cookin' over charcoal on a grill.
No. 7 -- Hit the Beach
Plus, our best beaches are generally a short drive from where people actually live (think La Jolla, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Half Moon Bay). Texas' biggest claim to beach fame is probably South Padre Island, and while it is admittedly quite lovely, it's also a major spring break destination (yuck) and really difficult to get to.
What good are California beaches anymore? Y'all ever try to find a place to park in Santa Cruz on a good day? And what's with the beach cops? You can't drink beer on the beach, you can't smoke, you can't cook hot dogs and if you drink half-bury your Coke can to keep it from spillin' or to hold down the empty chip bag, they ticket you for litterin'. Oh, they say all these rules are so families can enjoy the beaches. I guess that's why they let young women wear those butt-floss bikinis and postage-stamp tops.
No. 6 -- World's Toughest Governor
Despite Texas being the land of unadulterated machismo, our governor can beat up your governor. So, there.
Only with the help of Hollywood Special Effects.
No. 5 -- We Have Options
Californians have options. Getting bored of San Diego? Drive an hour and try Mexico. Got a case of the Sacramento blues, you're just moments away from Lake Tahoe.
Let's see... bored on a summer's day in Silicon Valley? Drive to the beach in Santa Cruz where the water is freezing. Don't worry though, by the time you wade through traffic on Hwy 17 it'll be time to turn around and come home. It's much the same in SoCal.
Head for the mountains in the winter? Sit in line with 280,000 other people. Half of which didn't bring chains. The half that did bring them have no clue how to use them, drive with them on the car or drive in the snow.
Visit any large city in CA and your effective transit times are between about 10:30am and 2:30pm. Four hours. Otherwise, traffic jams. So you stay late - until after 7pm. But you're paying for that time in outrageous parking fees too.
Try to visit the peace & quiet of the Sierras in summer. Out of your five or six days, at least three of those days will be spoiled by families on ATV's ripping through the hills or some urban jack*** playing rap music through his 1200watt stereo with the doors open.
No. 4 -- Plenty of Eye Candy
Texans have gun racks. We've gotgunsgun control. And racks.
We're hot, we know it and just in case, there are enough plastic surgeons here for every Californian to look gorgeous.
The only thing the "racks" in California are filled with is silcone. Well over half the women in California are schitzes. They say they want their men to be intelligent and sensitive to their needs - not the beer drinking neanderthal types. Yet almost all of them say the men they're attracted to are the rough "anti-hero" type who get into fights.
A Texas woman won't stand by and let her man do all the fightin'. Hell no. She'll jump right in there and if you're lucky she won't be carrying her own knife or her own gun!
No. 3 -- We Actually Invent Stuff
Yes, Texas is enticing businesses away from California to its land of fewer tax headaches, but send us a telegram when Texas invents something.
Before most of y'all were born there was a little company down in Texas call Consolidated-Vultee that built some little airplanes during WW-II called Liberators. They built other planes too. After the war, they made the fastest supersonic bomber, the B-58...
Of course, in Texas, things are done in a big way. You (or your parents) thought the B-29 was big? How about a plane that dwarfs even the B-52? Take a look at that itty-bitty B-29 next to Convair's (Consolidated) B-36.
Never mind the first around-the-world non-stop flight was out of Ft. Worth's Carswell AFB. Never mind the Johnson Space Center, or the IBM Space Division computing center. Forget Texas Instruments. Nah, we ain't invented anything, right?
No. 2 -- It's All About the Weather
Texas wins! But only in the number of tornadoes, with an average of about 140 per year. Words like "Mediterranean" and "I can't believe it's January" are used to describe California weather. If you like cold, we have mountains for that, too. Arid, humid and "I miss California" are terms often used to describe Texas' weather.
Granted, California's weather is much milder than Texas. Thanks to the Pacific ocean, California has two seasons - Very Warm and Mild. But you also don't get the beauty of regular thunderstorms. You can't smell the rain coming for an hour before it arrives. But in Texas, folks have time to enjoy the outdoors... what good is beautiful weather when you're working 10-12 hours a day in an office to keep your job?
No. 1 -- California Isn't Home to George W. Bush
We gave the world Ronald Reagan, and you gave us George W. Bush.
Worst. Trade. Ever.
Oh, but look at some of the trade-offs we get in Congress from California...
Diane "No Guns" Feinstein
Nancy "Stone Face" Pelosi
Barbara Boxer (you hear a whistling when she walks)
Henry "don't challenge me" Waxman
Maxine "Fidel" Waters
Barbara "Comrade" Lee
Lynn "Airhead" Woolsey
Zoe "Who?" Lofgren
People in Calfornia really don't think things out. They want electric cars. They want mandates (tax credits) to push them onto the market so they're affordable. They want HOV lane stickers for them, even if they drive alone because "they're environmentally friendly". BUT...
- They don't want new power plants
- Or to pay for upgrading the electric grid
- They don't think how to charge those 823,000 new batteries overnight.
- Without the power plants & grid infrastructure for it.
- They want solar power to do the job.
- But only if the solar panels are in another state.
- Augmented by wind turbines
- That they want placed far away from their sight.
- And utility companies must be regulated even tighter,
- To avoid them making too much profit (to invest in upgrades)
The constant silliness and stupidity of the so-called leaders in this state is appalling. It's obvious those in Sacramento (and major cities) don't care what voters want... they'll find a judge to overturn anything and tie it up for years.Last edited by BillCA; 11-04-2009, 6:02 AM.Comment

"People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right'. Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work." Clarissa in The Probability Broach by L. Neil Smith.Comment

No. 4 -- Plenty of Eye Candy
Texans have gun racks. We've got guns. And racks.
We're hot, we know it and just in case, there are enough plastic surgeons here for every Californian to look gorgeous.
And if cosmetic surgery isn't your thing -- don't worry -- we have plenty of therapists too.
There are plenty of hot chicks in Texas.....and they're usually much more friendly then the typical "my sh-t don't stink" CA chicks. Cowgirls rock!"Freedom begins with an act of defiance"

However I would contend that FAR more people are killed in this country by tornados then are killed by earthquakes, so I will take my chances with the earthquakes.
Safest structure you can be in during an earthquake is a single story, woodframed home, which is mostly what you find in CA. Wouldn't wanna be in one of those during a tornado tho."Freedom begins with an act of defiance"
