Texas is less than 200 years old.

I'd like to vote for Texas to secede from the Union.

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

We can't. :( We can split into five states though. I have dibs on the Hill Country. :wub:

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

according to Chuck Norris and Rick Perry you can.

Although I found it hilarious that 2 weeks ago PErry is motioning a possible move to succeed......... then last week he's begging the Federal government for Tamiflu.

arsehole.

Makes it pretty funny when my kids do show-and-tell at school with their 200-million year old fossil shark teeth and Mosasaur bones from the local creeks!

Here in Plano, where there's a reasonably religiously and racially mixed population, only a few kids stand up and tell them that they'll go to hell if they believe in the Devil's false signs! :rofl:

Imagine having him as governor - after you've had Bush. :blink:

I want Perry to secede.

I liked one of the comments, to the effect that if we could vote on the age of the universe, we could also vote on Cargill's age, decide she is too young to qualify as a board member and remove her.

Why am I reminded of that bumper sticker -
"Somewhere in Texas A Village Is Missing Their Idiot"??

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

One theory or another. They are BOTH theories. ;)

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

people who say this usually don't actually understand what a "theory" is in a scientific context

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

Crap! One is a theory and the other is a disproved hypothesis.

Re: Texas is only 6000 years old!
 

One is a scientific theory backed by scientific evidence and the other is a religious theory and not backed by any credible scientific evidence.
