Feel free to show proof of all of these doctors from Houston that save our poor health in uneducated and uncivilized DFW. Of the three brain and neurological categories I randomly chose to look up surgeons in, the majority come from out of state. The ones who did come from in state, nearly all went to UT Southwestern in Dallas. One each came from Houston and San Antonio respectively. That seems to be pretty consistent across most specialties.

Vitals - Find a Doctor, Doctor Reviews & Ratings
To treat some posters as if they are employed by or are somehow representatives of Houston creates a straw-man fallacy.

The poster in question only sees Houston as a shield he can use to keep his beloved Tyler from being totally dominated by DFW at best. In the long run, and I think you realize this as well, his true loyalties are in North Texas where he will eventually settle down and produce another generation of Moles that will continue the fine tradition of North Texas deception....

Houston vs. Dallas education. Hmmmm... the numbers say that DFW has Houston narrowly beat in terms of the educational attainment of residents. Austin is far and away the most educated metro in Texas.

DFW, however, does not have a school quite on the level of Rice, so there's that.

Either way, education as a whole isn't really something either city should brag about in my opinion.

First of all Oil@Gas is still the most important industry in this state (Texas) and will be for longer than anybody posting on this forum will ever know. Secondly if you look at those great minds in Austin you will find that the crème de la crème of those minds, originally came from Houston. If you look at a list of the great minds actually from Texas (born and raised) people from Houston will be well represented, and will be for some time to come.

Oh I agree. I just feel compelled to the Houston braggarts as a Texan.

and you dont feel compelled to point out to all the biased Dallas homers how ridiculous they are being? or do you see through that, because you are a DFW homer yourself (though you dont even live in this COUNTRY anymore, much less in Texas).

last i checked it was a DFW homer (oh.. it was YOU) that brought up this DFW "minds" point, about Exxon. so how are Houstonians boasting about how smart and well educated we are? we are simply responding to the Dallas nonsense.

Houston people sound so desperate to prove themselves. You never hear that despiration in DFW or Austin. So insecure.

what the hell are you talking about? you are going to come to conclusions over some bickering on a message board? first off, its spelled "despEration", second, we are not desperate to prove ourselves.. were just responding to certain Dallasites egotistical, arrogant, pretentious posts/opinions. this is a VS thread, and were certainly not going to let some Dallas fanboys over run it with a bunch of BS.

LOL you throw out some platitude, then tell me I'm desperate to prove myself when I do indeed prove the platitude to be erroneous. That mind of yours is truly something?

So I guess the only way to prove my security is to not reply to your, or any, Thought-terminating cliché's posted on this forum. Which, of course, would allow you too post them with impunity, nice try?
