saltface: Alot of people are prejudice against Texans. Seriously. But it's just because they are jealous.

But yeah I was born in the great town of Pecos, TX. It's a very sad place.

That reminds me. I've got some great Texas jokes. What are they jealous of?

 

[CowboysDaughter]

Uh. Because we are awesome! =]

I miss Texas. Our corner of it, anyway. There are lots of places like this I am sure, but everybody there was just... so awesome. All the people were so nice and actually had morals and values unlike where I live now. When my Mama worked at the library, I could take a deposit slip over to the bank from the librarian. The people at the bank knew my Mama worked there and would just do whatever bank business Toi [librarian] didn't have time to do, through me. No ID, no signatures. Small town where everybody knows everybody.

But then again, come to think of it, even here, all the ranch-type folks are just dang nice too.

Now I'm rambling. Again.

That sounds like a pretty rock solid argument.

I know what you mean about small town trust. We didn't have a bank, but I never thought of locking a door (car or house) until I moved to the Phoenix area.

 

[CowboysDaughter]

Yes I miss it. Shoot we didn't even have a lock on our door. Who was gonna come out there? 20 miles from the nearest town {population about 400}, go out on a rocky washed-out dirt road that stretches for 8 miles befoer you hit the house, cross a dry {sometimes running} creek bed, only to get to a house where the dogs start barking a mile before you get there, somebody is always home {98% of the time}, and all 4 occupants can use a shotgun.

I didn't think so. =P

Now we have oilfield running up and down these dang county roads so we do have to lock the house, although somebody could dang sure get in if they wanted too. BUt we still live 30 miles from town, 3 mile dirt road, and yup the Beagle starts baying while you're a mile off. =P

While we're doing jokes though...


Q. Why are Texians always smiling?

A. Cuz they got long thumbs.


Think about it.

Most Romanians I know speak all Latin languages quite fluently (Romanian, Italian, Spanish, French), since they are similar to Romanian (but quite a bit simpler) and English. The older ones often speak Russian - left over from the communist times. The ones living in what used to be Austro-Hungary often speak German (but rarely Hungarian).

compared to Chinese, Japanese is dead easy.

Only the pronunciation...

@Topic

As to myself, my grandparents come from what are now four different countries - Slovenia (with some Austrian blood), Croatia (with some Italian blood), Serbia and Macedonia (with who-knows-what blood... probably Turkish), but I have a Serbian passport (maybe a Croatian one as well some time soon if the visa situation for the Serbian passport doesn't get better some time soon). I was raised in Serbia and Germany, and live in Japan at the moment. I'd like a German passport too...

We call that South Phoenix. It's like it's not even Arizona.

And then there's Guadalupe...

That is very true. Foreign languages were mandatory in school (Elementary and High School, as well as college) and I took French, Russian and Latin classes. Later in college I took Italian, which I 'perfected' in situ, while visiting Italy. I can handle the Italian ok, understand French and speak a bit of Spanish. I can read Russian but not understand about 95% of it.:lmao:

Transylvania, which used to go back and forth between Romania and Austro-Hungary, has three main languages, Romanian, Hungarian and German. Out of these though, Hungarian and Romanian are most spoken ones due to the fact that most Schwabs (germanic origin) have left Romania for Germany in the recent past.
