That's right, I give up. I know when to quit arguing against ignorance and
stupidity.

But Paul, your arguments ARE ignorance and stupidity. You come here
making absurd claims, I debunk your claims, and you don't have the
courtesy to admit that you're wrong. You never took a debate class in
high school, did you?

Paul, why did you run away from our little discussion last week? You
remember: You posted a whole bunch of nasty falsehoods about Houston. I
debunked each and every one of your claims. Why did you slink away from
my rebuttal, only to return with more falsehoods?

I wouldn't consider numerous bayous and lots of trees as
"featureless."

Tell us more about Houston's CONCRETE lined Bayous.

Some bayous were lined during flood control projects, most are not.
Concrete lining was done on some bayous in the 40s and 50s, when
government engineers liked big concrete projects. But as I mentioned,
most Houston bayous aren't lined. Those that are lined are certainly more
attractive than LA's concrete ditches.

Tell us about Hershey Park, for example, with a walking / biking trail
along Buffalo Bayou AND the STENCH from the sewar (sic) treatment
plants to wake you up on your morning walk.

Well, considering what they contain I would imagine that just about all
sewage plants are stinky, even the ones in DC. Believe it or not, even
your sh** stinks, Paul. However, I go to Hershey Park all the time and
I've never detected a problem.

Tells us about the CONCRETED Braes Bayou and the walking / biking trail
there.

It's a great place to walk, jog or ride a bike, as thousands do every
day. Why do you ask?

Tell us about the number of people who have their cars broken into
while they are out for their walk or bike.

The 10 worst auto theft capitals of America:

1. Phoenix, Ariz.
2. Fresno, Calif.

5. Las Vegas, Nev.
6. Miami, Fla.
7. Sacramento, Calif.
8. Oakland, Calif.
9. Seattle, Wash.
10. Tacoma, Wash.

Why do you continue to make claims that are so easy to debunk, Paul?

Trees??? I hardly call what Houston has as real trees.

How very odd. I've been living here all this time and I thought these
massive live oaks and magnolias are real. Now you say they are FAKE
TREES! Here are some of the many fake trees around Houston:

Paul, much of Houston, including the entire west side, was nothing but
open prairie and rice farms up until 40 years ago. It takes decades for
slow-growing trees like live oaks and magnolias to mature into "real
trees" as you call them. The areas inside the 610 loop contain the many
enormous mature live oaks and magnolias, outside of 610 where the trees
were planted less than 40 years ago the trees are smaller. This is not
difficult to understand.

You should get
around the US more to see what REAL trees look like.

Houston has never billed itself as a tourist destination, and while some
of the complaints about my town (heat, humidity, flat terrain) are
certainly valid, I've never seen anyone claim that Houston doesn't have
"real trees". Until now. Do you have the slightest clue as to how absurd
and petty you appear to be, Paul? I don't believe you do. If you did have
a clue, you wouldn't keep coming back here to make a jackass out of
yourself.

So what's the real scoop behind your bizarre hatred for my town?

This isn't necessary. Just go see for ones self. To debate this kind
of thing is juvenile from the start.

Why don't you show a "Representative Example" of "trees" in Houston.

Would you like me to photograph the road I take from the freeway to my
neighborhood? Oaks run down both sides of much of it -- not exactly
West U size oaks, but getting there.

The fact that you are still in denial is downright laughable. It's
almost like saying Miami has no beach.

True again !!!!!!
