The culture of Texas has been a melting pot of the "Southern" (Dixie) and Southwestern (Anglo-Mexican fusion) North American culture, with pockets of colonies of ethnic groups in and around metropolitan and other urban areas while the entire Rio Grande River valley, and increasingly other areas to the east and north of it, have been re-mexicized due to recent migration and high birth rates (accompanied by "white flight") among the ethnic Mexican population. All of this is due to Texas' geographic location and settler past in the United States' history. The state of Texas is a diverse ethnic-origin state predominantly due to international migration before and over its history, while at the same time very North American, and an international place to live, in part because of its many oil industries. Texas also has an influx of people from the central United States moving in to find oil. Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota have experienced a "brain drain" as their university graduates move to Texas to find employment.

Kentucky, Tennessee, and/or Texas? Why?
Q. My top pick: TEXAS!!! Friendly folks, culture, history, Texas pride, awesome cities, beautiful country, geographical diversity, clean skies (outside the large cities,) warm weather, great universities. A western sky's-the-limit and can-do-will-do attitude with southern hospitality! The other two states: -Tennessee: I'm not trying to denigrate it here, b/c it's still a beautiful state in it's own right. It has friendly people, for the most part, the mountains are breathtaking, and Nashville and Memphis have a lot of history, music culture, and economic development. Beale St. is awesome! -Kentucky: I live here, I'm a native, and I can say that it sucks. No southern hospitality here. Few people say "thank you," girls don't like it when guys… [cont.]

A. prices are cheap but payments are high. state property taxes are 2.5 to 3.5 ouch. That is changing next year. Most people will see a drop in payment of 50-150 dollars/mo. UT is hard to get into and even harder to stay in. You have to give 100% to that school to make it. Austin is liberal. the boot thing the other guy said was a little wierd.

Texas

From Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, search Friendship

Texas is the second-largest U.S. state in both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous United States.

A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner. When a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners.

  • One objection I have heard voiced to works of this kind—dealing with Texas—is the amount of gore spilled across the pages. It can not be otherwise. In order to write a realistic and true history of any part of the Southwest, one must narrate such things, even at the risk of monotony.
  • When MacNab blanched, no more stunned than I, Rusk rose and put his arm about his shoulders: "Never forget, son, when you represent Texas, always go first class."
  • Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word. And there’s an opening convey of generalities. A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.
