No, you're thinking too literal. The only time I lived in the real state of TX was for BMT. I live on the Central Coast. (CA)
So cruel you had me thinking you lived in Texas. Lol
Aw that's terrible, nice weather in Houston this time of year
How do you fine sirs like my national flag?
Yes. Keeps the Texas theme but shows good history at the same time.
Exactly what I thought when I made it. Alongside the symbols of freedom these flag elements are.
**** New WA Resolution Notification *****
There is currently a new General Assembly Resolution at vote. When expressing your opinion, please note for which Resolution. And remember Texans, your individual vote does count!
The new Resolution is called:
"Anti-Counterfeiting Pact
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security Strength: Mild Proposed by: Separatist Peoples
Description: Recognizing the negative impact of counterfeit currency"...
<see page=ga for full text>
Well, after weeks and weeks of getting nothing from the General Assembly side of the WA, we get this. What a ho-hum piece of legislation. Basically the WA wants to make counterfeiting other WA members' money illegal. Additionally, the want to create a new bureaucracy to police it. It sounds like a decent enough idea. We are not all that excited about this one. Initially, NewTexas will go on record as FOR on this Resolution. This is only the opinion of NewTexas. We look forward to other Texans' opinions and comments on this Resolution. If good arguments to the contrary are made, we will reconsider our position.
The Texas response was up on the last GA vote -- Rules of Surrender -- which was passed after gaining 84.56% of the vote. As a reminder, all we are looking for is a simple 10% of Texans to say one way or another. We are a force for change in the WA. Every vote counts! There were 8 publicly-expressed opinions on the last Resolution with the final Texas tally running 7 FOR and 0 AGAINST and 1 ABSTAIN and 0 UNDECIDED. Texans were almost unanimous.
Note: NewTexas has already voted on this Resolution in advance of publicly expressed opinions. We did this at the urging of many leaders in the World Assembly. As we have been saying for years, Texas is a force in the WA. Many feel that Texas can influence the overall vote if it votes first. There is an observed "lemming effect" that occurs during voting. Apparently a large number of votes are cast based on whichever side of the issue is leading when voters vote. Therefore, to get the most impact from our vote, we are now voting first. We will re-evaluate our original vote at midnight prior to the current vote. As always, we are open to suggestions on how we should vote on this Resolution to most accurately reflect opinion of the populace. Comments are welcome from all nations, both WA Members as well as those who are not. Please make your voice heard on the current issue either on this message board or on our offsite message board. But, by all means, please vote on the WA Page!
If you would like to take part in shaping the world you live in, please vote. Voting is a right and a privilege, please consider using it.
All WA Member nations please vote. Please make your opinions known in Texas by 11:00pm Saturday and in the World Assembly voting booth by 11:00pm Texas Time on Sunday the 23rd. Current voting in The World is running - Votes FOR: 4946 Votes AGAINST: 701
Big Tex
PS: Remember, be sure to vote at the World Assembly too!

Dennisov voted against the World Assembly Resolution "Anti-Counterfeiting Pact"
Plans for the holidays?
Gonna go see my baby nephew and party hard with my buddies before my half a year of mandatory teetotalism ensues.
I am currently considering the World Assembly Resolution Anti Counterfeiting Pact. I think I have discovered a flaw. The author has told us of WANAs powers to prevent and investigate claims of counterfeiting but has not outlined the risk of entities/states of abusing WANAs power and goodwill, thus the very body that has been tasked with preventing counterfeiting could be used as a weapon of war or a prelude of war. Therefore stating there are no procedures to prevent abuse of WANAs power. Also procedures would need to be putting in place to prevent bribery of WANA Officials. Please consider this before voting.

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
Mandatory teetotalism? What's that about?
House arrest for refusing national service.
They stil have that? Or are you just being a troll
Not bullshitting you on this one.
That is all that happens these days?!? Holy Crapamundo! We know plenty of Vietnam vets who would have traded 6 months of house arrest for service!
And what keeps your wife or mom bringing you a 6-pack?
Random drug tests. If any drugs excluding nicotine are found in my body, I will be thrown inside a closed prison with no hope of seeing my nephew or my brothers or parents or even studying.
Ah yes, random drug tests. Guess some things are the same regardless of what country you serve.
With the government being the dicks that they are, they haven't even repealed the law requiring every 18 year old man to serve the country.
