Houston's of course.

The Houston Picture was taken from a further distance, and yet the buildings look similar in height. That is because Houston has a longer and taller skyline combo.

The entire left half of that Dallas pic is boring (from that Horrid bridge going left).

Dallas skyline is waaaaaay overrated when purely looking at it building for building.

Yeah Dallas overdoes the electricity bills at night and stuff, but Houston's skylines and buildings are far more impressive.

but lol, what would you know? you are from FW, we have secondary and tertiary skylines that trump FW's

Hated living in Waco and couldn't wait to get out, but when I go back for breaks; I don't even wanna come back to Houston sometimes lol

I don't know if it's just being around family and missing everybody or the growth and progress Waco has made over the past few years since I been gone.

you are being so childish right now. it's obvious that your ego is bruised, so your lashing out. it's so funny that no matter how much i tell you that i've been all over houston, you'll insist that i haven't, simply because i'm not enamored with it just like you are. do you realize how pathetic you sound?

Well duh Sherlock, why would I rep you for saying something messed up?
i'm saying the validity of my posts has nothing to do with you repping me. you're the type to only rep somebody if you like what they said. not if it was valid or not

nope as stated it is an erroneous statement passing off as a fact.

The more accurate phrase would be " I have not seen anything in Houston as beautiful as Chastain Park"

That my friend is an opinion. Don't give me that subjective crap, you would get less pressure if you were not trying to disguise you so called opinions as facts, erroneous comments will get corrected on CD
you imbecile. this entire time i've done nothing but maintained that these were simply my OPINIONS. are you blind? or is it that you just have selective vision?

of course what i'm saying is not fact because it can easily be disputed. please don't insult my intelligence ever again

So what?

Just because i 've been on here for that time doesn't mean i was a frequent poster. I've probably post more now and within the last 2 years than i ever had. I never understood the rep points. This is the only site that does that!

Thanks for the rep BTW
No you didn't say that :P you said you were here long, but I didn't read it was 4 years till after I had repped ya. what have you been doing all this time??? lol


The rep points are a way of encouraging nonsense talkers to talk more nonsense


anyway you are welcome.

I think the Hill Country area is the best looking area in Texas and prefer it over the piedmont area.
whatever. i guess it's not possible to love something without being obsessed with it

i wish i could say that i'm just now starting to see what everybody else in the forums sees when they say many houstonians are sensitive and suffer from an inferiority complex, but i'd be lying. i've always known this; i just pretended i didn't
