Seriously. Who cares what someone else wears? Why does that bother you so much? Methinks you have too much time on your hands.

What a bunch of ignorant, fools. We need to gather them all up and deport them back to Texas. If you want to act like some Good Ole Boy, why not move to West Texas and see how long you really last.

LMFAO! This literally made me chuckle out loud. WTH do you care if people want to dress like that? It's a business catering to a certain clientele.

I cannot believe the long noses some people have in this area.

That is a good question....maybe the jukeboxes come from a vending service and the bars don't have much say what type of music is in them. I don't know.

I disagree on the same merits you disagree, simple minded opinion. The Country Crowed is far more likely to break laws on avg due to the sheer numbers. They are a burden on me with all their welfare, ten kids, dirty front lawns. They are all uneducated and ignorant.

Generalization is your game.....continue.

Margaritte, it is sarcasm. I am generalizing a crowed that is a bit more familiar with some of the opinions on this board. Read a bit deeper. I am pointing out their own ignorance.

Most of the people who listen to country that I know tend to be blue collar, toolbox carrying, pickup-truck driving kind of people. I'm not much into country, but some of it is OK in my book. At least it requires some musical talent.

Welfare, ten kids, dirty front lawns, uneducated.....that also could be applied to ghetto people who listen to rap. Most country songs are about life, love, and hard work.....gangsta rap is about crime, drugs, and degrading women.

That could probably be applied to anyone who listens to any kind of music.

no.. theres just fewer police in the sparsely populated south then there are in the northern cities

also.. every white cowboy knows every white cop.. no racial animosity for the residents there to start calling the cops for petty stuff.

Hicks are even quicker to a trigger then thugs are.
