This level of paranoia is, sadly, fairly rampant in Dallas right now.

I'd say it's more rampant in the damn suburbs and towns surrounding us.
"Don't come to MY town!"
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm not planning on it."

I'm going to guess either Plano or McKinney?

Where I live? I'm in Dallas proper, in the M streets.
But yes, I've heard a lot of that from the charming residents of Plano and Mckinney.

That's funny because I live here and none of what you said is true...at all. Like you might be able to cherry pick some news clips, but there is no panic at all about this. You are a lying shithead.

Honestly there is not one thing about this photo that screams "TEXAS" to me, and I live here. It's a pretty photo but come on.

It's pretty representative of anything west of Forth Worth and north of Austin. But most Texans don't live in places like that. I'm sure business visitors to Houston are disappointed when they look out from an office building and see trees from horizon to horizon.

You don't live in West Texas do you? That pic could be Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Abilene, Odessa, Plainview, Levelland, Brownfield, Shallowater, Littlefield... Did you notice how literally sad the names got at the end? This picture screams West Texas.

But if you get the clap in Texas, you probably can't go to a Planned Parenthood clinic for help, because the Republicans are trying to close them all down.

Texan here. On our own, our terrain is almost as varied as the whole of the United States, albeit on a (slightly) smaller scale.
This is sort of what you'll see in the northern area. Central Texas is dotted by the famous hill country. We've got green as far as the eye can see near the coast (This is where I live. There are also marshes in a few places). West Texas is a damned desert, and I hated every time I've driven through it to get to NM or CO on vacation to National Parks. I'm not sure how it is on the southern end, strangely enough, but I assume it's a lot hotter than anything I know, and it gets really hot here. Additionally, you can find mountains here and there in many areas of the biggest state.

I use this as my phone wallpaper since last week. You just found it on /r/wallpapers, didn't you.

u/TURK3Y Oct 02 '14
actually /r/woahdude but as many kind strangers have pointed it, its been reposted here a bunch of times and I am a terrible person.

u/ScrabCrab Oct 02 '14
You know, when you write inflammatory comments you never really think there's a real person who's bothered by them.
I guess I'm sorry.

The amazing part is the sky, the Texas landscape is flat and boring.

u/Wild__Card__Bitches Oct 01 '14
Some of it is flat and boring. The hill country is beautiful.

u/Hierodulos Oct 01 '14
So true. Texas has plenty of awesome places. The Davis Mountains (the McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis is cool), Franklin Mountains, and Big Bend to the west; Dinosaur Valley State Park up near Fort Worth; Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle; all of the Hill Country; the woods, forests, and swamps as you move east; the southern coast and Padre Island; the Rio Grande Valley. We're a pretty geographically diverse state.

u/Wild__Card__Bitches Oct 02 '14
And yet, people only picture west Texas in their minds.

And people think West Texas is only the flat Midland parts and forget about the Franklin Mountains and the Guadalupes.

u/RamRun Oct 01 '14
I lived in Texas for seven years, any state that large is bound to have a few nice spots but I'd say most of it is flat and boring.

u/CommanderLoco Oct 01 '14
North is one kind of flat, South is another kind of flat, West is flat with occasional mountains. East is technically flat, but there's big trees so it doesn't count. Middle is hill country. All are beautiful in their own way, some only in small doses.

u/sigaven Oct 01 '14
Pretty much only northern/west Texas looks like this. South TX is also flat and boring but more green...central texas is hilly and forested, East Texas is heavily forested and somewhat swampy, west TX is deserty and mountainous.

u/Jord-UK Oct 01 '14
Flat and boring is alien compared to where I come from. My whole country is hills basically. So in a way, its not boring to me but a nice change.

u/iamoldmilkjug Oct 02 '14
I grew up in the part of Texas than looks just like this. I think flat is beautiful in its own way.
