    Good news for the law abiding, bad news for the Democrats.

    Notice the hypocracy from the Obama regime. When the State of California chose to decriminalize and tax marijuana, which is against Federal law, the regime said they would not have a problem with that. But when Arizona chose to enact a law the regime does not like, they are threatening to try and stop Arizona from enforcing the law they chose to pass.

    Why would we want to follow California, New York, or Michigan into bankruptcy?

    I'm willing to bet a gunshot in the air or ground would have run it off.

    tv? I'm talking about these forums! lol not to mention the pervasive cultural paradigm that is emitted by Texans themselves.
    seems every time a texan gets to talk to the world, they talk about Texas, guns, b-b-q, oil and cowboys.

    hence the perception of texas.

    Kung Fu is good for you.

    not all of us think a gun is an adequate replacement for a noted lack in length or girth of genitalia; just as not all of us think a truck is an adequate replacement for it either... but then some of us don't have a deficiency to make up for.

    the 2 guys i (used to) work with that liked to brag about how tough they were with their guns are both under 5'5", a buck 60, and couldn't throw a punch if their life depended on it (tried to train one of them).

    that being said, i respect the nra, the right to bear arms, and i love texas.

    btw, i don't live in "hippie town", i live in the bigger city an hour south, that most of the "hippies" don't like.

    when you press them for a reason why they don't like my city, first, they go with the "well austin is so green and eviro-friendly"; to which i usually respond "yeah? then how come you guys pay to ship your recycling down here to our plant?".

    when i *really* push them for a reason, they look around cautiously, lean in, and whisper quietly "too many mexicans".

    so much for the "enlightened liberals" of our state capital.

    i love my town
    we're military (flyboys more than grunts) and kinda working class.
    we party hard when it's time to party and we fight if you mess with us.
    the women are hot & really down to earth; none of that stuck up, dallas, "do you drive a beamer? if not, then leave me alone" bs.
    lots of hispanic architecture & influence (did I mention hot women?).
    We got: fiesta (a week of parties on par with mardi gras), sea world, the river walk, spurs basketball, fiesta texas theme park, good bbq, the best tex mex, the alamo, a killer zoo, guadalupe river, lots of outdoor activities within striking distance, a reasonable cost of living, and just as much hill country as austin has but without half the traffic.

    i take it personally when people bust on texas
    a lot of us do
    oddly enough, it's a bit like the Yankees (baseball): popular culture has deemed it "okay" to bash Texas & Texans, so of course if we're passionate about our home towns, we're not going to take that lightly.

    we're not all hicks and we don't all wear 10 gallon hats.
    i wouldn't say we're "macho", because that implies a false sense of bravado.
    i liken it more to a fierce streak of independence and an unwillingness to back down when challenged.
    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

    Check out Oak Cliff or Fort Worth, although they tend to lean left.

    The unwillingness to back down comes from the cultural influence of machismo.

    The irony of cowboy culture is that it comes from South of the border; only the color of its adherants is different North of it.

    But I digress, Texans are interesting, but some of them are walking stereotypes, not independent free thinkers who take no guff. Every group has it's db's.

    I can see you have not been off pavement before, and you have definately never been to Texas. I don't recall ever seeing a 10 gallon hat here, but we do have lots of guns. You can not depend upon law enforcement to protect you against real crime. Maybe a family squabble, but not serious crime. Law enforcement only comes in and mops up the blood and tries to solve the crime. You are charged with your own defense. Yours and your families.
    Shooting coyotes here is a sport. We kill the SOB's any chance we get. They are an American Jackel and have all the same habits of any Jackel anywhere else. If we don't kill them they eventually start grabbing your kids off the yard. It has already happened more than a few times.
    Being from Canada I am not surprised that you have such silly notions. You really need to look outside your small little world sometimes.

    A) you see nothing, I grew up on both a ranch and in the city.

    B) YOu have never seen a cowboy hat in texas? are you blind?

    C) Why can't you depend on law enforcement? Dont they train your cops properly in texas? are they all that useless that you each need to be some kind of vigilante?

    D) crime is a dynamic thing. protect yourself sure, but do the cops job?

    E)Killing anything as "sport" is in my opinion barbarism. It is killing, it is taking a life and it is done with a sporting intention. That is what I call spiritually, morally and ethically bankrupt. If one has to kill, there is a need for purpose. A convoluted idea that children MIGHT be taken is not a good reason.

    F) Being from texas, I am not surprised you would have such colloquial and provincial views of the the world around you. You need to get outside of the myopic state of mind which you call your little world.

    Kung Fu is good for you.

    It would have. Then it would have returned. When coyotes find a source of food, they don't leave the area. The article mentioned that area pets had been being killed by coyotes.

    Hilarious vid

    Here is a hilarious video of a coyote being shot. It's not the shooting that's funny, it's what the redneck guy says after shooting it that is absolutely hilarious.
