On the one visit I made to Houston, Texas, I can only say that it was one of the most misogynistic, sexist places I have ever visited  It doesn't surprise me that they may be a tad racist too...

Ciko - I understand what you are saying - believe me I do. BUT you can't tell me that people are not discriminated against in other countries. I have traveled quite a bit in Europe and I haven't always been treated nicely. I understand that it is not easy to say, "that was just the behavior of one person and not a reflection of the entire country", but it isn't nice to say things about someones country. I have had some really bad experiences in Turkey, France, Germany, and the UK but would never speak ill of an entire country for the rude behavior of individuals.

Sorry you had such a bad experience in my town AEnigma...maybe if you ever come again, I can show you some hospitality and change your mind?

I would argue with you and say NO but I have been living here for a while now. Maybe I just don't notice it. I find most men to be a little old fashion but in a good way (at least in my opinion) like opening doors for women and things like that.

There are not many places in America i would consider living. Texas is not one of them. There are pockets of civilization there (usually people that moved there from somewhere else) but it is one of our most backwards states. For starters, look at the execution rate. I could go on, but I'll leave it at that...

Texas is not my home state but I love the little "pocket" of it that I live in. Maybe you need to visit me too!!! I will start preparing the guest room for KeithL and AEnigma.....not necessarily at the same time!!
