my friend found the californians to be to cold and shallow. They seemed to act like their shiite don't stink.
Dionne Warwick said it best:
LA is a great big freeway, put a dollar down and buy a car In a week, maybe two they'll make you a star Weeks turn in to year, how quick they pass And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas.
LOL, no thanks. I will stick with Texas
LOL, Dionne Warwick?! I'm sure she and all her psychic friends and solid gold dancers are some of the worst CA has to offer. Still, many more people have come to LA and become stars than "H-town" that is for sure.
Sorry your buddy had a bad experience. I guarantee not all of us are shallow. Not to sound rude, but I wonder if he is a little dorky and tried to hit on some hot LA chicks with his hillbilly accent only to get dissed??
Anyway, yes. You stick with Texas. That will be a good thing.
I know how to access the general website. I'm talking about these stats in particular that are basis of the charts in the first post in this thread. Give me that particular link.

I can't, these stats are months after months, you don't have cumulated stats for the entire year.You must go in the unemployment section and see each month then assemblate them.
These threads are hilarious, and are becoming more and more common:
1. OP is a Texas booster who probably wouldn't have posted these stats if Texas weren't dominating them (yeah, we know...Texas is pro-business with low taxes...I'm sure it will last forever).
2. Texas haters throw irrelvant flack at Texas for no reason.
3. Texas boosters defend and throw flack at other states (e.g. CA, NJ, etc.)
4. Sun-belt boosters talk about how much greater the south is.
5. North and West boosters talk about how ugly and culture-less the south is.
I say congrats to the states doing well in job creation and good luck to the states that need improvement. As for southern boosters, the exponential job growth and population growth will stop one day, just like it did the North and West (wait till you have to modify your infrastructure and raise taxes...it WILL happen despite current trends). As for northern and western boosters, how about a congrats to the states doing well and if you like your state so much, then don't worry about people liking the south...who cares?
Those are private -- reaching out to far fewer residents proportionally. Texas is just not known for its public education.
Actually, those are public schools, all of the ones on Newsweek's list are (many of the top ones are magnet schools, but nonetheless still public).
And take a further look at Newsweek's list. Houston alone has 20 schools that made it- and I mean Houston proper, not including the ones in the metro area that serve affluent suburban districts. That's just as many as Los Angeles. San Antonio and Dallas have 15 and 10, respectively, which are each more than those bastions of blue-state enlightenment San Francisco and San Jose.
Like I said, Texas isn't the best in education, but it's certainly no bottom-feeder, despite some people's dogmatic belief that Texas is a third-world country compared to the Northeast and West Coast.

who the heck cares about becoming stars?? oh wait Californians lol

what the heck are you talking about. Not known to you maybe because you choose to be ignorant and listen to erroneous nonsense and stupid steryotypes.
