but what about the latin americans and nigerians?dallas have none... and houston have laos communities too, smaller than dallas, but very much existent(you've stated this before, but i'm just stating it to prove a point). what i'm tryin to say is whatever dallas have, houston have some of(black,white,mexican,asian,native american), also. the same can't be said for dallas, however. nigerians, latinos, middle easterns don't live in dallas, which makes houston MORE diverse than dallas...
Latino's don't live in Dallas? Are you kidding? Middle Easterners don't live in DFW? There aren't as many as Houston, but they are definitely here.
You had it backward from the start. Metro Houston has a higher percentage of Latino's and African-Americans. That is the difference. However, those communities are repersented here in very large numbers. The "others" including Asians and people from other parts of the world are insignificant on the whole. There are almost as many here and they are just as integrated.

Bear in mind the total above are foreign born only, not total number. Ill post those later.
um, you've only been a member on this board since may, so evidently you haven't seen past threads where all types of jokes and remarks have been hurled at houston
and just for the record, i'm not a houstonian, so i don't know where all this "we" and "y'all" is coming from
Im talking about this thread not whats going on in the past. .. So looking thru this thread Texas posters are making sarcastic remarks about Atlantas role in this country... You guys are having a hard time excepting this matter. Even if there was a 100 list put out there ranking Atlanta above Houston. You will not agree with all 100.. Its funny how about 4 different instutions put Atlanta above Houston.. Is this by mistake. Or did they call each other and say lets put Atlanta above those 2 cities. or where these studies done at different times....
Uh, no; gas reached higher than $5 because during that time we were in contact with my aunt (lives in NC) and she was telling us about the gas shortage and how insanely high the prices were. It was even on TV; you can't even deny this one when there is so much proof.
Gas was not dollars in Atlanta buddy.. gas was never 5 where I lived it was 3.89 almost too 4....
Yet another weak attempt to minimalize something Atlanta has. Guess what, low ratings or not, CNN isn't going anywhere. Nor are all the TBS networks or the Weather Channel.
And gas was never near $5 a gallon, try slightly over $4.
How exactly is that minimizing something Atlanta has? Especially when it's the truth? It's like when you were saying oil inflates Houston's GDP. And I remember seeing gas near five dollars in some areas.
DFW and Atlanta are large logistics and communication hubs. Maybe not as important as energy, but nevertheless important. I doubt some of the Houston posters would bother to admit that though.
Right now on a pasture somewhere, a horse is begging, "Please stop beating me!"

It goes with the tone of this entire thread. You mentioned CNN, and then had to marginalize it right away saying it was losing ground to Fox (gag me) and MSNBC.

damn, i was wondering when you were gonna show your face. i was thinking maybe grindin thought he was to good for us
....so i guess nobody saw mt truce up above, huh? y'all just gonna leave me hangin like that
Give Atlanta the title, it doesn't really matter. I doubt anyones opinion has changed or will change after looking at this thread. All the Houston boosters will continue to think that Houston is more important, etc. The way I see it is, if anyone of these 4 metros dissapeared, which one will impact the world the most? Ask yourself that, and you have an answer. 440 posts, and this is the first time I look into this thread, thank god.
