				|  Why Texas is part of the south |  |  
				| 
 |  
				| First and foremost, the south is a region, not a culture.  A political, historical, and geographical region. 
 Texas is politically, geographically, and historically a southern state.
 
 Southerrners are not an ethnic group.  Not all of the south is "dixie", and various southern sub-groups (such as hilbillies and cajuns) don't have to do much with each other.
 
 Even if they were, East Texas is the deep south.  So when Mautty says "only east texas is southern" he is saying only east Texas is super mega ultra southern.  Which means the rest of the state is at least a bit southern.
 
 Texas isnt even the most culturally distinct part of the south.  It is not as much of a "blend" region as the border states, it is not as conspicuously pro-intellectual as Virginia, it is not as culturally different as Louisiana.
 
 Texas is more urbanized and not as xenophobic as the south is; but neither is Florida.  In fact Texas is very analagous to Florida, in that it's part of the south even when it isn't.
 
 As for Texas being part of the southwest, do Texans REALLY act like southwesterners?  Texans (predominately) more likely to act like a southern (and vice versa) than southwesterners.  Even the Texas Cowboys aren't really the southwestern type.
 
 
 This is why Texas is part of the south and not the southwest, because as you can see you are not in fucking SoCal

				| How did I malign the south in this thread? 
 The argument here is that Texas is the south and not the southwest

				| The mass UFO sightings of Texas are already influencing their feakle religions.  These people really think the end of the world is coming.  A contractor in Texas can't hire enough workers to build all the bunkers.  People are like terrified to go outside and shit. 
 Yeah, the south.
 
 People in New England don't even go outside, let alone look at the sky.  They're comfotable knowing all the secrets of the universe by reading alone about Russian philosophy.
 
 
 Fuck spell check; I don't even give a fuck anymore.

				| Yeah, it's fucking crazy here, people are pumping all of their resources into elaborate bunkers to provide them adequate protection from the first wave.  I doubt they'll hold however, but perhaps they'll get in a few verses from the Holy Book to ensure they pass away to the land of cattle, concealed weapons, pulled pork and lassoed spooks |  |

				| I'm not entirely certain where you're receiving your information Frank, but the philandering alcoholic cattle ranchers around here are about as receptive to UFO speak as a faggot colored stealing their mumu-garbed pre-teen daughter and raping them in a Peyton Manning Jersey while singing off-key tunes from "Oklahoma" on a pile of bagels soaked in picante sauce from Californy 
 I don't know though!

				| That'd be fine in my book, but you'd be putting your personal safety at risk, considering a few miles away there's an all-white town (seriously, all-white, minus a couple mixed indians (the last blacks to reside there were chased off in a week (I'm not fucking joking!)) that's a KKK hotspot, and it's probably been a while since they had a good-old fashion spook hunt 
 Okay, they're harmless white coons, but it's pretty awesome a city with a population of more than 60 has no minorities, let alone a city with their population
