Bah, since when has a little bit of assault or murder ever hurt anybody?

Why would you want to stop throttling idiots?

Stupid society!

I prefer the "they had it comin' " kinds of laws...

Ever read "Lone Star Planet" by H. Beam Piper? The planet of New Texas had one like that, in spades... which applied only to "practicing politicians".

I haven't, but it is now on my backlog list.

I am suddenly reminded of Texas's express lane of death.

And you have now become only the second person I've met over the years who has heard of Piper, one of my favourite authors.

Well, OLD Texas once upon a time had (and may still have) the "He needed killin' " clause - If someone killed a habitual criminal troublemaker, it was viewed more as a public service than a crime......

I love how this "Beverage at Mucho Mocha" thread has turned into a "Texas's allowable death laws" thread.

Seriously though...the cynic in me loves some of the things Texas has a reputation for, but the sociable intelligent me cringes to think that's how we're known.

Yeah. I was born and raised in Killeen. I thought Texas' rep was awesome, and I loved sharing that rep as a kid......Dagnab it, none of the smilies has a cowboy hat.....=):)

Prob'ly an Easterener

That's why I steal smilies from the Yahoo Messenger page.

Back to Tina: I think Tenty would probably cringe when he/she read that I was a Predators fan.

And then ask if I wanted some Jack Daniels in my coffee?

Based on today's page, I think it's safe to say that Tenty is definitely a she.

I know Texans as the most honest, friendly, wonderful folks I have ever met.
Living as close as I do to Gary, IN(and having worked in sections of said city before the reformation began) and having been stalked before, I am a bit skittish of someone following me.
I was in one of those HUGE malls in Dallas(they have an AMC theatre in it, and a bunch of tourist traps there). I had almost made it to the theatre, when I spun around ready to punch the guy that I knew had been following me and my son for ten minutes...only to have him return my wallet.
He followed me at a distance because he was afraid of spooking me, and because I did not know the, "excuse me Ma'am!" was directed at me.
I felt awful, and he said he was worried I couldn't care for my son without it, so he was making sure we were safe, and also told me my secondary belt had snapped, which was why my wallet fell out of my purse. He also told me where to get a repair kit for it, only to have one of my friends that noticed I was not with them, do the howdy thanks routine. I got all sorts of answers in a hurry about any subject I was interested in, and always a smile...and such politeness. I do not know what I would do if I ever encountered a rude one.

SO Miss Julie, no, that is not all Texans are known for.
