As a well known comedian stated about Texas, "We not only have a death penalty, we put in a fast lane." right, and that is an attitude some embrace, which is totally their perogative its just not my cup of tea,,, |

the apparent ATTITUDE of texans towards other human life  What " ATTITUDE" ? Your statement is in need of explanation. there is no explanation that can be given beyond personal observation of statements from texans in the public eye and elsewhere, In other the words, the alleged "ATTITUDE" is your personal interpretation, lacking any objective data to support it. Oh well. So be it. the objective data is the gun ownership in texas, I dont want my daughter raised up surrounded by guns and I Have no way to objectively prove an attitude, I can only go by personal observation, which is just as handy a tool in such decisions,,, for me seems simple enough,,,, That is fair enough for me. You have every right to raise your daughter as you see fit. |

As a well known comedian stated about Texas, "We not only have a death penalty, we put in a fast lane." Most Executions by State (1930–2006) Rank State Since 1930 Since 1976 1. Texas 676 ---- 379 2. Georgia 405 ---- 39 3. New York 329 ---- 0 4. California 306 ---- 13 5. North Carolina 306 ---- 43 6. Florida 234 ---- 64 7. South Carolina 198 ---- 36 8. Ohio 196 ---- 24 9. Virginia 190 ---- 98 10. Alabama 170 ---- 35 Note: Table denotes executions under civil authority; military authorities carried out an additional 160 executions, 1930–97. Note: In 1972 the Supreme Court ruled that capital punishment, as it was then administered, was “cruel and unusual” and therefore unconstitutional. On July 1, 1976, however, the Court overturned the ruling by a 7–2 decision, and capital punishment was reinstated. Source: U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, and Death Penalty Information Center.

african american is about ancestry, real african americans are proud enough to be from africa, why should they be upset about their cousins using the term 'african american'? they arent claiming to be african,, its a different term,, Point back to this. http://news.yahoo.com/blacks-insist-im-not-african-american-181257715.html What are you? Where are you from? And how do you fit into this country? "I prefer to be called black," said Shawn Smith, an accountant from Houston. "How I really feel is, I'm American." "I don't like African-American. It denotes something else to me than who I am," said Smith, whose parents are from Mississippi and North Carolina. "I can't recall any of them telling me anything about Africa. They told me a whole lot about where they grew up in Macomb County and Shelby, N.C." Gibré George, an entrepreneur from Miami, started a Facebook page called "Don't Call Me African-American" on a whim. It now has about 300 "likes." "We respect our African heritage, but that term is not really us," George said. "We're several generations down the line. If anyone were to ship us back to Africa, we'd be like fish out of water." "It just doesn't sit well with a younger generation of black people," continued George, who is 38. "Africa was a long time ago. Are we always going to be tethered to Africa? Spiritually I'm American. When the war starts, I'm fighting for America." Joan Morgan, a writer born in Jamaica who moved to New York City as a girl, remembers the first time she publicly corrected someone about the term: at a book signing, when she was introduced as African-American and her family members in the front rows were appalled and hurt. "That act of calling me African-American completely erased their history and the sacrifice and contributions it took to make me an author," said Morgan, a longtime U.S. citizen who calls herself Black-Caribbean American. (Some insist Black should be capitalized.) If you talk about ancestry, some believe that all races came from Africa so should we all becalled Aficans. http://youtu.be/48nlOiGFDgY http://www.adversity.net/FRAMES/Editorials/54_Paler_Shade_of_Black.htm So where did the 10,000+ shades of paler brown, beige, pink, white and what Crayola crayons used to call "flesh" come from? Archaeological data places the origin of genetically modern humans in sub-Saharan Africa approximately 140,000 years ago. Humans then began migrating out of Africa in successive waves, starting approximately 100,000 years or 5000 generations ago. Now that scientists have mapped the human genome, they are homing in on when each wave began their outward bound journey and where they migrated to. So far they have confirmed that everyone on the entire planet, even the 1.3 billion Chinese, have a common ancestor back in Africa. that's the currant theory accepted now... they believe the dark skinned was the first to evolve, and turned lighter as the migrated to cooler climates... but that doesn't account for hair and facial changes...(Asians) |

imho, looking over the thread, it seems the people siding with texas actually live in texas, while the people siding with california live in other states... that would make sense, texans supporting texas that is,,, |

common sense says if there are more tools of violence there is more OPPORTUNITY for violence to occur,,,,, The baseball bat has been a favorite tool of violence form many people, especially the mafia. So by your logic, the more baseball bats there are the more violence there will be. |

There are only a couple places in Texas that I'd have any desire to visit - Austin and San Antonio. I've heard good things about both. both are great places, but Texas is a big state, lots to see and do here... when you get tired of the zub zero temps in MD, you can always enjoy 50-70 degree temps here... Sub zero? Are you thinking of Maryland? Plus, it's 70 here today. I think I'll be fine here  .

So by your logic, the more baseball bats there are the more violence there will be. not quite, blunt objects account for maybe 4 perent of homicides (Thats blunt objects, which makes the incidence with hammers even lower) in the us,, seems that baseball bats are PRIMARILY And OVERWHELMINGLY used for baseball and to be quite honest, I would have problems raising my daughter where people felt a need, desire, and obsession with owning and walking around with bats too,,,, |

Old Testament) contains laws given by the Lord God, then you shouldn't have any objection to the death penalty being given to people who commit murder, because Exodus 21:12 says, "Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death." (ESV) If the Lord God instructed the ancient Israelites to execute murderers, then from a biblical perspective, it isn't unjust to execute people who commit murder, even if they commit murder only once. |

Still he is responsible for the death of others. Back to Texas Vs California.
Here is interesting about thing about some Californians. Some want repeal the second amendment to get the guns off the street, especially out of the hands of the law binding citizens but keeping them in the hands of the police, military and even criminals. http://youtu.be/2diNojgJF9c Now here is one thing better about California over Texas. Well, least in San Francisco airport. Private ownership is better then government. http://youtu.be/bacR-f3DeyE Here Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars says the Feds don’t want him doing business in California. http://youtu.be/CMNz1sf40DU A news report on Companies leaving California. http://youtu.be/HRQRg3xhehs Does anyone know where one can go to find out if this is true? http://youtu.be/7reZSK9pPcc |

the heat and the guns alone are actually enough to disinterest me,,,, California's interior can get quite hot. Also, do you have a problem with Americans exercising their right as stated by the Second Amendment? yes, I have a problem being surrounded by so many weapons,,, and california has some places with very moderate temps, not aware of such a place in texas....but I could be wrong,,,

3 days to get a gun, just pass a federal background check
the above statement is wrong. I recently bought a hand gun in about 30 minutes

But, ya'll right. Texas is no place for liberals. It's hot, nasty and dusty. All the plants, insects and animals either want to bite, stick or sting ya' So, please, stay away. And, thanks fer doing so.
