Most Americans just cannot comprehend how big Texas is.
 

Texas is bigger than England. Or France. Or Italy.


In most states, you can drive for 3 hours and be 3 states away. In Texas, drive 8 hours and you're still in Texas.

Most of you can't even begin to imagine.

Everything is bigger in Texas.

Most Texans can't comprehend how big Alaska is.

Most Alaskans can't comprehend how big Canada is.

Most Canadians can't comprehend how big North America is.

It won't be when it melts. Alaska is basically a big county with a population of 600,000.


Uninhabitable frozen tundras don't count.

lol... a lot of Texans have probably never left Texas..

I've met a ton of people that have never left their home state.. I'm always baffled by how that is even possible or desirable..

Go to the inner-city of a major city? let's say Chicago. Many of them have never left their neighborhood/district.

A lot of Americans still think Alaska is an Island.

Who gives a shit?

There is more history and culture within a 50 mile radius of my home town in Virginia than in the entire state of Texas.

And more incest. Congratulations.

I drove from Florida to Arizona - headed through Texas East to West and I'll tell you what, the worst part about driving through is watching the exit signs go up by one digit at a time - from 1 all the way somewhere into the thousands. It psychologically makes time go fucking sooooo slooooooow.

no, there isn't.

:)

Worldwide, the vast majority of people on the planet have never been more than 250 miles from their place of birth and will never live anywhere but their hometown. Even in Europe, the UK, and the US it is only about half.




:2 cents:.

The drive from East to West in Ontario (Canada) is a good 22 to 24 hours drive depending on the route you take, and that's if you don't stop for any length of time. Huge province.

I drove through Texas one day on my way to a pool tournament in California and stopped at a Red Lobster in El Paso. That was the best damn NY Strip that I've ever had. You could cut it with a fork. :thumbsup

You can do that in California too.

You were in Texas and bought a New York strip at a Red Lobster? This is like going to Paris and getting an apple pastry from McDonald's.

Bullshit: In most states, you can drive for 3 hours and be 3 states away.


I travel the US a lot and stop and talk to the people; you would be blown away how many die within 50 miles of where they were born.

I can't comprehend how big my cock is...

I spent over 10 years of my life hustling pool and cards, so yea, compared to pool hall food or bar food... it was fucking awesome! :thumbsup

The worst drive EVER is the 10 Fwy between El Paso and San Antonio. I thought I was going to lose my mind on it. Definitely was hallucinating.

If satan exists... he lives somewhere in west TX.

This quote made my day.

I used to live in NoVa - where is your home town?

There is more history and culture within a 1 mile radius of anywhere in Europe than the entire US, so what?

Thomas Jefferson > almost any European writer or intellectual you care to mention.

Rural outside of Charlottesville.

Texans should be thankful they have Senator Wendy Davis doing what she can to fight idiot Governor Rick Perry.

#2, right after Russia.

Ontario, Canada is almost 1.5 times the size of Texas.

You can do that in any state. Nobody said you had to drive in a straight line.

Cool - I own a good chunk of land out that way.

If Alaska broke in half Texas would be the THIRD largest state in the US.

"Everything" equals everything. Hence, nothing is different in Texas.

Just trying to help where needed :)

The operative word there is "HISTORY." As in the past, where Virginia's relevance resides.

Texas is past, president and future. Since Eisenhower, most of our Presidents have been from Texas. And, while NY and California's population declines, Texas is still growing larger every day, and in every way.

You're wrong Mike. Texas is #2 largest state (in area).

EDIT: Unless it was East and West Alaska LOL... then yes, #3.

rip big tex, ya gave me plenty of nightmares growing up
