From China w Love (& Curiosity toward the political leanings of d'Gentlemen of Texas)

We're smarter than most. Most texans play with cows and don't know how to use a computer.

 

I've never watched a single episode of American Idol and never will.

 

I think Texas is more "libertarian" than evangelical. We have quite a diverse population.

This forum is more liberal than the general American population.

Bachmann is inexperienced and says dumb stuff.

The debt ceiling fight was not fun and accomplished little.

The competitiveness of the US against China is highly uncertain at this point, but I think it's fair to say that Americans are highly concerned about it. We have world class universities and businesses, but our education from kindergarten through high school SUCKS.

 

All kidding aside. Obama received 46 percent of the votes in the last election. Conservatives tend dominate the elections where the urban areas are pretty balanced. Since this is a HOUSTON rockets board, the members here tend to be more liberal than average. I would also guess that basketball fans tend to be more liberal than football or baseball fans.

 

Which part of China are you from? I bet there are tons of Chinese regional stereotypes that really doesn't apply any more since migration of people within China is a lot more common these days. The same movement of people is happening in the U.S. Texas is the new California, starting with Austin :grin:

 

Oh jeez, when will Texas ever become Cali?

 

I wouldn't consider this board representative of Texas or the US. There is a sharp leftward slant, especially in the D&D that is not seen in Texas overall.

 

Where to begin?

Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual. But now I know why I have always lost women to guys like you. I mean, it's not just the uniform. It's the stories that you tell. So much fun and imagination. StanleyHartwell, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow? I want to party with you, cowboy. But the two of us together? Forget it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka isn't always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka.

 

Do they grow weed in China?

 

I don't know how serious this post is but taking it on face value I don't know how good your English is or your knowledge of American history but the terms "Chinaman" and "Fu Manchu" (when referring to a person and not the facial hair style) are considered mildly offensive. Its the same as calling a black guy "boy." "Chinaman" was a term used back during the 19th Century to refer to the Chinese who worked the railroads who were mistreated and denied basic rights. "Fu Manchu" has often been used as stereotype of the inscrutable and vaguely evil Oriental man .
