not at all, but i have been all over the world and i've never been anywhere where the people are more self-centered and uncompassionate as in texas.  i don't know where their "fuck you" attitude comes from but just because the guy you're being a jackass to is a criminal doesn't make you any less of a jackass.

This is an interesting opinion, not because I'm trying to say you are wrong, as you are entitled to your own opinion, but only asking: you have personally travelled to Texas and found Texans to have a "Fuck You" attitude?

I ask because that is not generally the opinion on Texans.  Ride horses to work?  sure.  Independant?  agreed.  Criminal Killers - absolutely.  But, "fuck you"?  Not something I commonly hear about Texans.

Politcs and Religion are two of the worst things to argue about as people get very impassioned about both.  So I won't try to convince you the death penalty is right or wrong.  I will agree of course that Texas is tough on her criminals.  Being, well, not a criminal, I don't have a problem with that.

Now as far as being polite to criminals, we do disagree there.  When you break the law, you give up certain rights; it's the penalty you should pay for breaking the law.  That doesn't mean you can't eat or should be tortued, sure.  But should you be pampered?  I would disagree with you there. 

my company services the power and oil industries which puts me in texas about 3-4 weeks a year.  as chance would have it i'll be in houston all of next week.
