TheDeacon 168 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I used to be able to leave my house and drive 5 minutes to where we would shoot. Now it's 20 minutes. Something to be said for West Texas. I loves me a whole bunch of desert! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

macbeau 902 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I see this moving to Fight Club VERY soon. We can't control where we're born, but we CAN control where we live! It has nothing to do with WHERE you're born or chose to live. It's the values that you bring with you when you do move. Having a single, common interest (in this case, gun ownership) is usually not enough to overcome the other differences. Most yankees have a set of value, mind set and attitude towards life in general that is contrary to Southern culture. There in lies the conflict. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Most "yankees" around here can't stand liberals, no matter where they're from!

U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 The only problem I've heard with Texas is finding public use land to shoot on. Thats because 99.9% of the land here is privately owned and tresspassing could turn out real bad for those that do it. You will need a ranch or lease. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alot that "hatin"" could be from the overuse (and misuse) of the word "though". (hint, hint) There is a lot of toleration in the south for many things, but bad manners and poor diction ain't among them. Macbeau sends... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patriot, I respect you for making a stand there. But remember, you would still be welcome here in Texas since by your own words and actions you are a brother in arms. You might just fit in better than you think. Remember to bring a wicked sense of humor with you, you're gonna get picked at a bit. But we also expect you to give it right back to us in spades! And yeah, about that Spanish thing.. I live right here on the border of Mexico and even though I understand the Tex/Mex Spanish just fine I don't speak it on this side of the bridge. And it tends to make them kind of "reset" when you answer in American English. Lots of folks do it out of habit, without any intention of harm, but after a couple times they seem to get the concept. When I go to Mexico, I speak in Spanish unless I am addressed in English first. Point of respect as far as I'm concerned. I'm in their home, it's only right to use their language if I can. I expect the same respect out of them if they can speak english. Just as a point of irritation, I have friends here who speak Russian and German and the occasional outright anger I sometimes see when we publicly speak with each other is just amazing. A man who was having a conversation in Spanish with someone else heard us speaking in Russian and not only became irritated but after a few minutes literally screamed at us (in English, no less) "STOP MAKING THAT NOISE AND SHUT THE F**K UP! WE DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR S***T! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" MOTHERF*****G BAS***DS! Woah! Immediate, expanding circle of silent attention. This happened in the middle of the mall's food court on a Saturday afternoon. Mall security was not entertained and he was invited to leave the area. He started railing that we were harassing him and should be forced to leave. ID's were requested of course when the mall's city PD officer arrived. We produced ID on request (having a chaplain's card does me no harm at all, neither does retired military ID, which we all had. Military town with lots of retirees) Yeah, he was an extreme case of hater, but what's sauce for the goose, you know. He and his family were strongly encouraged to finish eating and move along. I know, I know. I should be ashamed for provoking him I should be the better man and not be like this.. But I'm not. And I won't change a bit. Stubborn old Sod. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDeacon 168 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 When we had the German Air Force and Army troops stationed here the dependents had a fairly lively community going on and we had real German food restaurants. Little cafe style restaurants popped up all over being created and run by the German wives. Clean, neat little places in small strip malls near the base. And the food... Lord, the food was awesome, we all bugged off base at lunchtime to these little places and of course were barely coherent from overeating when we returned to work. I would cheerfully give up six weeks of my current lifetime for another gallon of that potato soup. Tex Mex, eh.. I've been in the southwest a little to long I guess. Gotten kind of jaded on that food. Still love it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
