Typical mexican fashion. No offense at all, I've just seen this particular incident. See, we we're all so caught up in the moment, that we didn't even think about them having weapons. Nor will we ever make that mistake again.
Your mistake is that you came to a gunfight with your fists. If you confront an intruder, expect them to be armed. Invest in a shotgun.

And the inevitable Nazi reference has been made.
Rule #1 of forum posting- when you're emotional about something but have no point- compare your opponents to Nazis or Hitler.

What the fscsk did this thread turn into? You think we have an inherent lack of skill, because we're from Texas. That's bullsh!t and you just talking crap out of your ass. Silicon Valley EEs may get paid more, but there is a higher cost of living, and I don't think finding employment is hard for ANYONE where I go to school with! This should not be a pissing contest and should focus on the topic at hand.
Hey, you are the one who brought up EE's. Guess what I may move to Texas and keep my CA salary. Then you'll be my b!tch.
Stanford and Cal people aren't exactly suffering either. I don't have anything against UT Austin. But Austin is more like Silicon Valley than it is like the rest of Texas. Take out Silicon Valley companies and their money and see how many EE's Austin employs.
you are the most elitist person I have ever heard speak.
you are talking as if Silicon Valley companies are giving out charity by offering jobs in Austin. There obviously is a reason why they put their money in Austin. If Austin engineering was inferior like you state, then they wouldn't be here, plain and simple.
The entire premise of your hypothesis is contradictory.
by chance, what branch of EE do you work in?

I don't have a hypothesis. I am just responding to these nonsensical comments from Texans with inferiority complexes who are obviously misinformed about the employment situation for EE's in silicon valley, or have info from 2 years ago. If you are happy with Texas, and Texas education, I am happy for you. If not, there isn't much I can do about it, so quit taking your fat aggression out on me![]()

I know this, but I am talking about property outside my house. If I look outside my window and see an arm go through my car, I should be able to use force - even though my house is completely overlooked and nobody related to me is in harm's way.

I can't count the number of times I was a nice neighbor and turned off someone's car lights that some idiot left on (typically during the daytime after a brief rainstorm - storm ends and they forget the lights were on) - So, opening the door to turn off the lights for them would be justification for them to shoot me?!
Texas logic = retarded.

(yes, I know your rebuttal... how does that justify someone from taking your possessions. Let's take it to an extreme: Leave a $100 bill 5 inches onto your property from the sidewalk. Do you think no one is going to pick it up? It's on your property, it belongs to you. Someplace between that extreme and the other extreme of having your property 100% inaccessible there's got to be a line. I say that line is on the other side of leaving the temptation for criminals. )
