Wys, we know. New Jersey is the end all of awesomeness. We just struggle with avoiding all of the bullets and heroin needles to experience that wonderful world of New Joizie.

I'm sorry you had to go to such areas, I do not know where those places are in 10years there, or maybe I never had to be there(and you did), or that some piece of trash on the road will make me swerve thinking its some drug paraphernalia everytime. I've never had a flat tire in my entire life, just to give you an idea how bad you are getting it because of poor choices and beliefs. I'm soooo sorry about your "experiences" in the northeast. please save us all from your other bad experiences and hook ups there. In exchange, i'll tell you i believe in your story.

My experiences were not bad up there, life is what you make it and you are not trying here in Houston obviously or you would like it too. I wrote that to show how pathetic one can sound in an irrational tirade against a place that is unfounded. You should take notes since your hatred of Houston is unfounded also

can you point out one statement where i said I hated houston?

I don't hate Houston. As I've mentioned before, plain HATE is the best excuse Houstonians can think of to rationalize other people's opinion about their inner city. We are happy here and everywhere we go. with easy sacrifices in Houston. you should think about this next time you read my posts, if youre any better than the other 'inner-barrio-loophead" Houstonians
