And boy oh boy am I so freakin' thrilled that I did. It is a wonderful city with everything available that I could ask for (beside Pittsburgh's professional sports teams (original hometown) and some Primanti's sandwiches).

I can't believe that I actually "served" a year and a half in Mississippi and was able to get out with my sanity and keep my non-racist views. ON the downside for the state....with my family bailing on them dropped the collective IQ about 4 points.

Speaking on behalf on all remaining Mississippians, I thank you for your wonderful views on our state. We are always glad to see sweeping generalizations that make everyone in the state out to be racists who spend all of our time sweating on the back porch.

I, originally was in Brandon (just outside Jackson) which was ok but a little too Puritanical for me and then later moved to Newton to be closer to work. That is where I cemented my "sweeping generalization" views of the residents.

I assume you are talking about Austin, Texas. I go to school here in Austin, but went home to San Antonio during the school breaks, but a little over a month ago I moved to Austin for good. :thumbsup:

Austin is an awesome place. I tried to score a job there, but it didn't work out.

Some sweeping generalizations are warrented.

Ummm...that article is about someone who is opening up a pool that was closed due to racism, but opening it up to everyone. Did you read the whole thing? 45 Years ago there were a lot of people who had different views than nowadays. You sir, are an idiot.
