I don't like guns, but as one person above who is actually helpful said, he does not see open carry and does not see open carry as an issue. I didn't say I hate rednecks (you took the liberty of calling yourself that, not me). You think I hate rednecks, which since you said it, seems like a redneck thing to do, you know, ignoring truths and allowing your perceptions to replace reality. Sorry I take that back, it seems more like a closed-minded, bumptiously self-assuming, and self-righteous people thing, not a redneck thing. You want to change people's perception of rednecks, your contribution here certainly does not help.
wow

maybe you should just visit dallas for a weekend

and see if it is right for you

one thing for sure is that it's a lot less of a confrontational place than the east, that's for sure

but i will repeat that texans, like anyone, don't take kindly to people who just move to a place to take advantage of some job opportunity and enjoy all the benefits of that place unrelated to that space. same with where i grew up in canada, my friends and i absolutely hate transplants from toronto who just come for a job and then leave when the commodity goes down. going around life espousing that sort of "well i don't really want to be here mentality (and .....ing how everything isn't american-precise) is why i had no friends in south africa the first 6 months i lived there

maybe just go head first and find out for yourself

it's not like you're an economic migrant in the global south who has nothing and is throwing the dice by moving to the nearest city

a lot of banks have presences in san antonio houston and new orleans too ja?

who said rednecks are intolerant? "progressives" can be just as intolerant
