If at first you don't succeed -- skydiving is not for you
How would I realize that if I didn't know those problems existed?
That's why my first response was to ask WTF you were talking about. I've never personally heard of Texans going to Colorado to get drunk, discharge firearms, cut people off, or dump trash, much less enough of them doing it to make that kind of generalization.
Until you explained it further, you were talking about me personally. I'm from Texas, you were attacking Texans. Gee, silly me for getting offended.
None of the above MO's pertain to me, so you weren't talking about me. Well, there is roughly 25 million of us in Texas, so I'd say your chances are pretty good you're going to throw that kind of trash talk about in front of a Texan a time or two.
Just like your signature says; if you're going to be stupid, you better be tough.
I said you can do something about it, or STFU. Since you actually do something about it, it doesn't pertain to you and if you feel offended that's on you, right?
Is that supposed to be an apology?
No matter where you live, it's going to change whether you like it or not. The area I grew up in has turned into a shithole, so I moved an hour outside of town. The houses in my neighborhood are far enough from town and expensive enough that I don't have to worry about trash moving in for a good while.
Now if we could only get rid of those God damned winter Texans with Colorado license plates and Obama stickers...![]()

i dont get offened when people make general statments about the ghetto/hood but yet thats where im from . i know when people trash talk about the inner city they probably are not talking about me unless they call me by name . notice colorado lucky dog is from texas and is not jumping my on my sh*t about it . i would assume thats because he knows he is not guilty and that im not talking about responsible out of staters .

and now we get to the original thread topic witch was , this thing was this and now its this other thing .
example
every time they tear down a house they build 4-6 ikea east german modern looking piece of crap condos in its place .
the rail yard downtown used to be huge now its much much smaller . now its more condos .
as a kid i played in the hills and fields where ther are now malls and mc mansions , track housing hell ... i think you get the point .
and who remembers the denver zephers , old mile high stadium (pretty frikin cool ) , 93 riots , the grand prix
i hope that clears it up and you stop trolling for an argument where there is none to be had
I like Texans more than any other state. They can appreciate Colorado and assimilate here better than say a UCLA lifer that has never worked a day in their lives.
Their women know how to take a punch. Gotta love that.
I kid. I don't hit women.
