It’s hot. Go to North Texas and get snowed on.

You are just making shite up at this point.

Texas is the 2nd largest state in the country, and you’re trying to reduce North Texas to the Metroplex? Foolish.

75% of the state lives in the triangle. Nothing worthwhile, other than the wildly overrated hill country, is close at all. No beaches, no mountains, barely any good state parks, nothing.

Claiming all of Texas in these arguments is like saying you get to include the panhandle beaches, nw Arkansas, and Mississippi delta for Louisiana

Some rivers in Texas

Guadalupe


San Marcos


Comal


Brazos River, spanning 840 miles, runs underneath the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge in Waco


Colorado River from Mount Bonnell in Austin


Frio River at Garner State Park!





The Devil's River is one of the most isolated rivers in Texas, with only a few public access points. All the better to preserve the natural beauty of the area!


Pecos River, flowing through New Mexico and Texas, spans 926 miles. This is taken near the Amistad National Recreation Area


Rio Grande River flowing through the Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park!


San Antonio

Ok, in terms of life decisions. That shite right there takes up about 90% of the frickin' table man.

If that alone means not finding a good gumbo or going to a Mardi Gras parade, then shite man so be it. I'll just have to make that sacrifice.



Or just make your own

I can have gumbo anytime I want

It's not like you need some exotic ingredients to make it

Your jealousy is a beautiful thing.

I figured you were going to say you could easily drive to Shreveport or Eunice and see those same things. But NO you are going to fly all the way to California.

We have plenty of state parks including Big Bend which is bigger than most national parks.

There are 3 Mountain ranges in TX

Texas is the best state in the country and there’s really not a debate.

Texas isn’t stealing cultures - all those cultures are moving to Texas because it’s a better place to live.

If yall’s culture and place of origin was so great - you wouldn’t all be here.

all of these places are pretty unaccessible to the vast majority of people who live in texas. big bend technically being in the state of texas means nothing if you live in dallas or houston.

we're not talking about everything within state lines, we're talking about what life is like actually living in Texas vs Louisiana.

point being, texas is inferior to louisiana as far as outdoors go, unless you want to give the career and financial advantages

It doesn't have to. Not every job pays considerably more in Texas than in Louisiana. There are some cities in Louisiana that are just as "safe" as there are in Texas.

I’m pointing out how stupid it is for someone in Houston or Dallas to talk about big bend or the mountains when I can drive to the Smokey mountains in the same amount of time

Louisiana outdoors is restricted to activities involving the water. Some of those are GREAT activities.

Texas has those, and miles and miles of other sights to see.

You started the argument about Texas being inferior culturally. Then you had to take out financial, career, political advantages, etc.

Then you assume everyone lives in the triangle of DFW, Houston, SA.

When someone says they do not live there and instead live by a beach, you say it’s a shitty beach.

When someone mentions the rivers, mountains, and parks of the state, you say they cannot access it in daily life.

You have definitely succeeded in throwing shite at a wall. You have not succeeded in having anything stick.

Why would you use this argument when discussing with people who have told you they don’t live in Houston or Dallas?
