So I took this to heart and since I am not from Texas originally I decide to ask 10 “Born and raised in Texas” Texans( of which only 3 were from Austin) about Rainjack’s claim that part of being a REAL TEXAN is having that swagger/pride. The unanimous answer was " we all have pride but someone like that with the swagger who nitpicks what is Texas and what is not, is better called an asshole". [/quote]

Let me get this straight. You actually asked ‘real’ Texans, and they said that they all had pride, but pride like mine was being an asshole? You asked 10 people this question? Have you no shame? Are you that insecure that you have to get 10 friends to agree with you that I am an asshole?

Talk about validation issues - is that part of being 'progressive?

I assume it must be my lack of swagger since I have pride in this great state and its people.
Oh and for the record I have a hunk of land here. So thats two out of the three that I’ve got. Thanks for playing.

You ride horsies? yehaw motherfucker!! Eat BBQ? AND Go to Big Bend too?

But in your last post you pretty much creamed your jeans telling me how great and progressive Austin is. That kind of cancels the horsies out. BBQ came from the Southeast, and just because you’ve read an article in Texas Monthly, and decided to head to the trans-pecos area on a weekend camping trip doesn’t make you Texan.

I find it really hilarious that a hayseed redneck asshole like me can get the goat of such a refined progressive liberal like you.

Wanna be a real Texan? Cancel your subscription to the Texas Monthly. Quit worrying about me being an asshole, and grow a pair of nuts (unless you are a girl, then grow some big-assed hair).

I’ll take an asshole over a whiner anyday. I asked 10 of my friends and they all agreed: asshole beats whiner 9-1(okay the one guy was an okie - but he’d lived here for 4 years).

Evidently it has become “What the Hell is a Real Texan?”

or

“Austin: Shithole, or Promised Land?”

or

“How Many Left-wing Progressives can rainjack Piss Off in 24 Hours?”

Anything to get you on the right path, vroom. There are many that wish you would change your posting style. If I helped in any way to facilitate that occuring, I do so proudly.

Sigh…

Totally and completely clueless. Missed every point and went on your own tangent, well done.
For the record, as I’ve stated before, I’m not liberal and in fact have voted conservative the majority of things I vote on. I don’t have a subscription to Texas Monthly and never would, definitely not worried about you being an asshole–you prove that fact day in and day out on these boards, thirdaly if you want to make idle threats and tell me to grow nuts I will gladly PM you my contact info and where you can come on down here and square off with me to show how “texas tough” you are. Anytime. Recognize that steroids do not make you a] tough, b] texan

Who cares? This has become pretty entertaining of late.

I caught this on the Real World last night(I’m only repeating it here cause I somehow doubt RJ watches the Real World)

“The only problem with Austin is it’s surrounded by Texas.”

That usually happens when folks like you get on here, and join an exchange that has nothing to do with you to prove that I am an asshole. It’s not your fault - you just don’t have the skills yet.

If I am the same person day in and day out, why does it bother you so now? you have a bug up your pretty little ass for me? You’re snapping, son - snapping right in half over a half-witted asshole. You take me entirely too seriously. Have a Shiner Bock, and chill. It won’t stop me from being an asshole, but maybe it will make that vein sticking out of your head recede just a little.

Well that certainly proves your manhood, doesn’t it? You have to have huge cajones to want to meet an asshole in person. I’ll tell ya what, sparky - next time you plan on coming through the Panhandle, let me know. I’ll give you my address, and we can have a couple of beers, or a couple of whiskies, or whatever it is that really, really macho guys like you want to drink.

What’s all the steroid talk about? I haven’t been down that road in over 90 days.

Oh…you think this is roid rage, right? Or that I have a tough guy complex becasue I’m juicing? Hate to disappoint you there, kiddo - this is just me being me.

Its cool Rainjack. This whole exchange has reminded me of a good friend of mine. He’s an asshole. Everyone that knows him thinks he’s an asshole but damn if he can’t be a funny sumabitch sometimes and on rare occasions he can let his cooler side slip out.
No need for hostilities I suppose but I guess the whole “real Texan” thing just set me off after hearing/getting into this whole discussion with a group of people at, where else?, a BBQ festival.

Hey RJ, like Ann Coulter says, when a lib starts losing it all breaks down and thats when the name calling comes out.

176

Jesus I go away for a few days and you all murder my thread! Nah, s’all good fun.

177

Snipe. A bit of a clue. Rainjack delights in tweaking people and trying to get them upset. It isn’t the same thing at all.

However, yes, you are right in a way too, I see the right doing exactly what you describe libs doing when they are unable to counter a good response with on topic points.

178

vroom’s been sitting under his magic thinking tree again.

Generalities do not win arguments - especially unsupported generalities.

Facts and a clear position - remember our little talk? You know - the one where 3 or 4 of us tried to tell you what your problem was?

That would be my plan anyways. Meet up where I train so you could just throw on some gloves and no one gets really hurt. I can’t stand the internet tough guy shit, even though my post probably came off that way.

That’s fine - just no hitting in the face. That hurts, and it makes my eyes water.

Your, most humble, assumption that you bring up meaningful points, on topic, is but a bit of a joke.
It’s hard to counter unrealistic probabilities in a debate forum.
But, it’s good to see that you haven’t lost any humility–I mean you thinking that the entire right side of the forum can’t match your critical thinking
