Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

I think you guys have it mixed up which side in this "culture war" is obsessed with sex and gender and orientation etc and which is the one responding to that. Vinny is absolutely right that adultery has been far too normalized. Even when a divorce is for cause like adultery it only affects the div...

Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

I think it goes beyond abortion... it's anything sex organ related. If you met someone who all the time talked about Pokemon, non-stop, Pokemon this, Pokemon that, Pokemon values on eBay, conspiracies against Pokemon owners and suppression of their collection values (like goldbugs LOL) then you'd th...

Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

IMO the taking of a life should be a matter of being justifiable. A soldier killing a enemy has domestic peers justification. A emergency case of a mother presenting in her 9th month and it should be a doctors/family peers call. Around a non absolute guidance law. I could not have said it better. O...

Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

I don't disagree. But you failed to answer my questions: -Is the CO law allowing elective abortion in the ninth month acceptable? -Why are more people moving from blue states to red? (Maybe abortion isn't the only issue to consider?) I don't think doing abortions in the 9th month is OK at all, but ...

Re: The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

My real issue is with the exceptions. I think those who argue that the progeny of a rapist deserves to be brought into the world by means of the body of the victim are excessively cruel. Such a stance assigns zero value, zero meaning for what it's like to be the victim of a sexual assault, and to ha...

I taught my kids how to use a paper road atlas to navigate cross-country in case of an emergency GPS outage. I keep a paper road atlas... it never gets used, but I have it.

Are you a fan of Richard Wright at all, Ocho?
Although he’s a bit too far left for me on some issues I really liked his book on Texas. I’ll have to reborrow it someday.

One thing about Texas... most of the knowledge workers are NOT from Texas, even in the oilpatch. The modern Oil & Gas industry is very high tech. At least half of us immigrated to Texas for money and jobs. Texas does a pretty bad job of educating its native sons and daughters when you get right down...
