Ya'll do some funny shit.
Look up the term, passive aggressive. I think you'll find it interesting.
Since we are talking Texas - anyone ever hear of Billy Dixon & the (2nd) battle of Adobe walls?
And before you texans get all excited about another hero, Dixon was from W.V.
The Comanches were led by Isa-tai and Quanah Parker. Despite being outnumbered, the hunters repelled the Comanche assault. After a four-day siege, reinforcements arrived and increased the garrison to about 100 men. The Comanches retired soon afterward.
The battle was highlighted on the second day by the legendary shot of William "Billy" Dixon, who killed an attacker on a faraway hill using a Sharps buffalo rifle. Controversy prevails over the exact range of the shot; a post-battle survey set the distance at fifteen hundred yards, while Baker and Harrison set it at about one thousand yards. Casualty reports vary, and are not known with any great accuracy, although most agree that less than 30 total deaths would be a close number.
At two in the morning on June 27, 1874, the ridgepole holding up the sod roof of the saloon broke with a loud crack. Everyone in the saloon and several other men from the town immediately set to repair the damage. Thus most of the inhabitants were already wide awake and up and about when, at dawn, a combined force of Comanche, Cheyenne, and Kiowa warriors {estimated in excess of 700 strong and led by Comanche Chief Quanah Parker, son of a captured white woman, Cynthia Ann Parker} swept across the plains, intent on erasing the populace of Adobe Walls.
The initial attack almost carried the day; the Indians were in close enough to pound on the doors and windows of the buildings with their rifle butts. The fight was in such close quarters the hunters' long range rifles were useless. They were fighting with pistols and Henry and Winchester lever-action rifles in .44 rimfire. After the initial attack was repulsed, the hunters were able to keep the Indians at bay with their Sharps rifles.
A search following the initial battle turned up the bodies of 15 warriors killed so close to the buildings that their bodies could not be retrieved by their fellows. The Indians rode out of range and camped in the distance while deciding how to handle the situation, effectively laying siege to Adobe Walls.
The hunters suffered four fatalities: two brothers asleep in a wagon failed to survive the initial onslaught, Billy Tyler was shot through the lungs as he paused in the doorway of a building to take a shot, and Mrs. Bill Olds accidentally shot her husband in the head as she handed a reloaded rifle up to him (the bullet entering under his chin and exiting out the top of his head).
The second day after the initial attack, fifteen warriors rode out on a bluff nearly a mile away to survey the situation. Some reports indicate they were taunting the Adobe Walls defenders but, at the distance involved, it seems unlikely. At the behest of one of the hunters, Billy Dixon, already renowned as a crack shot, took aim with a 'Big Fifty' Sharps (it was either a .50-70 or -90, probably the latter) he'd borrowed from Hanrahan, and cleanly dropped a warrior from atop his horse. This apparently so discouraged the Indians they decamped and gave up the fight. Two weeks later a team of US Army surveyors, under the command of Nelson A. Miles, measured the distance of the shot: 1,538 yards, or nine-tenths of a mile.

Hmm I can't tell what is true or not, lol. Let's see you're antitexan (satire) but live in Texas. You hate rap, but using satire that means you love rap. And you're a cracker, but I can't tell of you're using satire when you say that.
So buddy I have a few questions for you, lol. Please no satire, I'm confused enough as it is.
Do you live in Texas?
Do you love Texas?
Do you like rap? (I hate rap, no offense dude)
What race are you?
Man oblivion is a mind blowing game, ahh it's so relaxing, ha.

We get along with each other. We're a tri-cultural state and most of us native New Mexicans are tri-cultural families. We can't afford to hate. It might be a relative.

There's many mixed races (I'm so high I almost put mixed genders, lol.) over here in Texas. If anything shouldn't you not laugh at us Texans because someday one of us might marry one of your relatives? And Texans get along well (well not in this scenario), I mean we would just go out and enjoy Texas instead of fighting and shit.

Texas is passive aggressive? Bush started a war, and Perry has more death penalties under his belt than anyone recent.
