No actually it wasnt for that purpose at all. There were many threads bashing texas beaches, my point mainly was if you havent been to texas beaches but romanticize california beaches you should give texas beaches another look because the texas beaches are on par with the california beaches and water quality.

Here are some examples:

http://www.city-data.com/forum/3748828-post1.html
http://www.city-data.com/forum/39365273-post42.html

etc etc

Northern californian liberals are hostile towards texas, texans and texas policies

Two eight-year old posts and one from April of this year constitute "many threads bashing Texas beaches?"

Riiiight. You're really stretching here.

The Israeli coast. I actually went swimming in it this past January through March. It was a warm spring (lots of 80's / sunny) and the water was a little brisk, but it doesn't keep myself (or the Russians) from swimming.

Obviously I just picked the first ones that came up in a google search. They exist in other years. Sorry you couldnt figure that out for yourself.

Either your memory is poor or you enjoy cold water because the water temps are under 70 degrees and on average well under that


The temps actually decline in Haifa from jan through March, march average low 60s. That's warm enough?

Are freakin' beaches now the latest proxy battleground in the red vs blue war? I bet if you scratch below the surface of these beach warriors you'll find it's rooted in the mentality of - "Californian liberals suck. AND YOUR BEACHES SUCK TOO! NYAH!"

I'm a native Texan. I've greatly enjoyed Texas' beaches for many years. California's beaches are better.

There I said it. It's been a real struggle to ignore the dreadlocked hordes of godless communists infesting them but when I learned to differentiate socialism from sand I managed to have a hell of a good time. I would suggest some of you need to learn to do the same.

Pretty sure the politics of the beach goers had nothing to do with the thread.

Although the irony of a "native Texan" internet gangstering with a ripped off name from The Wire is rather humorous

Oh I'm pretty sure that it does. I think you're in denial.

Are you having difficulty wrapping your head around a native Texan enjoying some Wire trivia? Don't overthink this. You're trying to be way too clever.

Double irony points for the "don't overthink this". Seriously, identity politics is so passé.
