Yes to all of it except 3 (I don't hate Houston, I just don't care about it), 9 (I don't use DART so I don't hate it), and 10 (I don't drink so the price of a cocktail is irrelevant).

There are things I would personally add to this list but I don't want to start an argument.

Nah, we don't hate them except when they're playing the Mavs. Remember, they started out as the Dallas Chapparals. Used to go see that team play when I was in high school. I rooted for them against the Heat, big time. Didn't help...

I like Californians and haven't heard much hate from others that I know. We made fun of the state back in the rolling blackouts and how liberal it is, but thats just fun jabs that you make. IE Californians making fun of Rick Perry, W and the other things.

I think it's more of an annoyance/rivalry than hatred. I can separate the individual from the overall group of Californians that has seemed to swarm in large numbers. For example, when a sentence starts with "back in Cali", it's going to almost definitely be annoying to a Texan.

It's hard to hate people, but I hate the effect of so many of them moving to Texas...if that makes sense.

The added pollution, sprawl, and unwillingness to accept Texas for what it is what people hate

Not my experience living here in Dallas.
The team is hated with a vengeance.
Dallas media being the #1 culprit, then it just trickles down.
Too many examples to list here.
As one poster stated, " don't want to start any arguments here ".


Oh yeah, add the taste of city water to the list.
