I know this is suppose to be fun and all but it's clear that you know absolutely NOTHING about the state of Texas. NOTHING whatsoever. If anyone doesn't have tolerance, it is you.
Exactly. Austin is very liberal and I don't think parts of rural Texas are any more intolerant than parts of other rural states in the South.
And for Ohio, I was going to say "crops" and "lush trees" but after reading posts by Daytonnian and WeSoHood, I am going to say "people who are extremely conceited about their state." I am not saying Ohio is bad or nothing to be proud of, they just seem to think Ohio=best place on earth and that every other place sucks. And I am not denying that SOME, NOT ALL, people in Texas are also conceited/overly proud of their state. I know many are and I do not like it. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your state, but thinking that no place can match up to your state is just plain ignorant. There are great places everywhere.

I am not originally from Ohio... but since I've lived here all the negative stereotypes I heard are simply not true! And I think others should know that. Ohio has many different topographical regions, and when I hear flatlands, I laugh... and although in the rural areas there are lots of farms(like any state), 75% of the state lives in urban areas.. that's the only reason for my replies.
Daytonatian may be one of the few who goes a little overboard, but you have to understand what some people have to deal with from people who aren't from here or know little about the place.
I was born in Cleveland (very urban) and now live in a small city just outside of Cleveland (pretty urban). If you say you are from/live in anything other than a well known major city in the state the people will say the place you live is either a farm/rural, or once in while a suburb. It's just ignorant and simply not true. As a matter of fact I've had several people on here who are from Ohio (southern) say where I live is a suburb, when it's actually a urban city like a smaller version of Cleveland and in the same metro. The majority of people who I grew up with in the Cleveland area have never even been on a farm before, much less lived in an area like that.
That pretty much goes along with the ignorance of people who aren't from here or don't know much about places but speak on them as if they have any clue what they're actually like. What was said on this thread about Ohio doesn't really bother me much because it's not serious, that's apparently the first thing that came to their head about Ohio and the majority of the land in Ohio is farms/rural, but most people actually live in urban areas.
Ok, just playin' around.... but realy, out of all the Texas stereotypes we have.... desert? Really?
Forest just does not come to mind at all when I think of Texas. I know its a stereotype and its not true at all that Texas is a big desert, but that is what I imagine.
