Let's Put Everyone in Texas!
Quote | Reply
Texas is so big and vast that you can apparently put every single person on Earth in it and they'd each have about 1,084 square feet of living space. (The landmass of Texas is 268,820 sq mi (7,494,271,488,000 sq ft). So, divide 7,494,271,488,000 sq ft by 6,908,688,000 people, and you get 1084.76 sq ft/person.)

I say we give each person a little treadmill or something that's hooked up to a dynamo and voila! No more energy problems (and certainly no more idiotic manufactured immigration crises, either)! ;-)

Traffic is bad enough here. I don’t need another 6.88 billion people fucking it up more.

Some of the current residents might not be too happy about some/many of their new neighbors.

Suffer Well.

That's cute.

Once you have everyone else in the world in Texas, me and my family will have Ontario (bigger than Texas) all to ourselves. Hell I might even visit British Columbia (also bigger than Texas) once all the idiots have left.

This sounds great until you realize that 2/3 of the available space in Texas is nowhere near any place any rational human would want to live. Plus, it's hot as blazes.

But hey, if that fixes the traffic issues on I-70 headed out to Summit County (and the resulting real estate inflation in Breck/Frisco/Vail), then I'm all for it, as long as I can stay here in Denver.

Interesting (to me anyway), Alaska is bigger than Quebec. However Nunavut is bigger than Alaska.

But what's really interesting is that two of Canada's three territories are in this website (Nunavut and Yukon). Northwest Territories is not given the opportunity to battle. I think Northwest Territories is bigger than Nunavut.

Comparing the area of a state (or especially a province) where few people actually can or want to live seems silly to me.

But whatever makes you Canadians feel better.

Suffer Well.

I'm never leaving BC, so, you're outta luck for a visit out here.

Also, "Everything is bigger in Nunavut" doesn't have the same ring to it.

No. You see bulls with signs that say “Will do bovine stuff for money.”

Btw an anagram of my name is: A bovine drip line.

I have no idea what that means but it sounds disgusting.

Didn't take long for these Texans to cave. (Not that the scenery in the foreground of this picture would make me want to stay in Texas.)

The Amarillo Convention and Visitors Council has purchased ad space on the billboard and intends to put up a welcome sign."

You didn't quote the best part...

The owner of the billboard said that the client who paid for the sign asked for it to be taken down, as they didn't realize how controversial it would become.


Basically the client who paid for the sign is a fucking r-word.

The sign said liberals, not people of color or other people liable to discrimination. It had to do with political ideology as well as philosophical ideology, I guess. How was it racist?

Increasingly, I see people of a certain ideological stripe toss out the racism charge as a means of shutting down the conversation and speech of others, almost all of whom are afraid of being tarred with that label, and rightly so.

My question is, who gets to be the arbiter of what's racist or not?

The R word I am not using isn't Racist. It is a banned word and rhymes with dotard.

Basically, if you don't know that this sign would be controversial then you must be mentally deficient.
