OK this isn't true, but we're still the best state in the best country in the world.

I lived in Dallas for six years and it was pure hell, everyone out to screw ya. I had the wheels stolen off my vehicle twice (once on blocks and once not), my battery stolen several times, and my apartment broken into. Dallas looks nice, but is all about screw your neighbor. I got fired because I told my boss off on the day of the Challenger tragedy....everyone was listening to the radio and he said...."Turn that off and get back to work, them people are dead and they'll still be dead at 5:01 this afternoon". Its all about the dollar in Dallas.

I lived down around Ennis and Waxahachie for a while and the poor unemployed rural folks were good and decent and I have no complaints with them. But then again the poor rural folks are that way everywhere.

I haven't bought that "rah rah we are the best" stuff since. From what I have seen, Tennessee and North Carolina are better bets.

We have our share of problems, but I've been in every state in the Union save Hawaii and I still like this one best. No other state has people who are as proud of where they're from as we are, why is that?

OH, but thanks for your opinion.

That's cause you were in DALLAS which should be avoided at all costs...

Dallas is about as close to NYC as you can get in the South. And everyone drives about 80.

Living in Aubrey here and working in Plano. That's about as far south as I like to go around here.

I hear ya'

I'm not sure Dallas even belongs in Texas - it's all about the image. Strange place.

I guess every family has it's embarrassing relative...
