  1. I thought that was what it was....so it is like a reflecting pool with a very thin cascade down the side or some similar setup...thanks for reply
  2. it looks like over night someone bumped or repositioned the cam so now it barely catches the west edge of the park and nothing of the ice....it would possibly be interesting if any of the cranes were running....but as of now it is just staring at buildings and a bit of traffic
  3. I like your slippers dad they should put a bounty on nutria like Louisiana and like wild hogs in east Texas
  4. I would just assume not hear these stories on here I can get all the gloom and doom on the news if I want it and I doubt anyone on here would have any extra to add to it unless they saw it and could add the gory details I would just assume not hear about as well and people off themselves in public as a cry for attention of in a failed attempt to make others "experience their pain" as well....it is just extra selfishness on their part
  5. so if you can't eat, drink, make noise, talk on your phone, and look at porn you are out huh
  6. wow one has to wonder how one tower being bankrupt and one tower not will work.....can't be good though for some reason I think the non-renatl one being the bankrupt one is better than the other way around
  7. because then they would be in an area where they are welcomed and out of an area where they are not welcomed.....you seem to find joy in the possibility that myself and another might be taking an investment hit because of losers and trash and you seem to relish their "culture" so why not solve the issue by transfering that culture to your area where you can tolerate them and enjoy their "rich culture" and have it influence your kids daily and make conversation with your wife.....after all what is the big deal they are just people with a different manor of dress, different habits about drinking, different ways of looking at trash disposal, different views on how to treat the places where they live, different opinions on work, and have a few issues with controling their violent ways.....and you seem to welcome it and be very tolerant of it.....they should thrive in an enviornment like yours VS being oppressed in an envoirnment like I would provide for them with all those pesky rules and expectations and puritan cultural clashes and what is really funny about it is just as I suspected when I even mentioned these scum bags and your area your attitude about them suddenly changed
  8. if that was the case something would be done about it what I would find funnier is that when something is done about it the people that are trashing the place invade your area and prey upon you and yours.....that would be a hoot
  9. since I have never seen people swilling expensive beer walking down the streets that does not seem to be an issue....I have seen one guy stealing expensive beer after a major storm though, but that was a different deal and the vast majority of those I see swilling the cheap beer on major streets in the middle of the day should probably be a lot less concerned with alcohol consumption and more concerned with finding a job
  10. I didn't I denigrated those that can't find pants that fit, learn to use a belt, refrain from swilling cheap beer while walking down major streets, tear up everything they live around, commit crimes all around their area, thump their music to disturb their neighbors, join gangs, pimp, ignore education, refuse to work, abuse social aid programs and the like it is others on here that suddenly try and call that "culture" or say that describes one race or another....I don't, I denigrate all that do it no matter who they are or what color, race, or ethnic makup they are....those are not "cultural" norms they are antisocial ignorance that the vast majority of civilized society wants no part of that is why they move away or avoid the area when people who behave this way start to show up in large numbers
  11. can't I just call it ethnic pride or a desire to socially interact with my culture like so many others can?
  12. and many of us are ever more glad we built that inner containment barrier loop so long ago!
  13. that is all fine and good.....but some come on these forums and vilify those who judge those people and the areas they trash as some place they find no desire to be a part of you know they "judge" you for having an opinion on what is acceptable.....but have no acceptance for the fact that you might not desire to be any part of it....they imply that only wealthy white people would dare cast a disapproving glance at some things or pull out the race card....you know implying that only certain races do those behaviors (you know it is called stereotyping) but that is all ok because they are the crusaders for the acceptance of the down fall of society and the rest of us are just ALL WHITE snobs and elitist.........the wonders of the "open minded"
  14. because I don't want to see some fools dirty boxers or some whores thong and I don't think people with kids should have their kids exposed to that......we wear cloths in America as they do in the vast majority (all) of the civilized countries in the world.....even in liberal europe where topless on the beach is acceptable I am sure most would think one is a fool if they walked around with their pants down to their knees especially if they knew it was imitating prison life...obviously the whole "civilization" thing has been lost on you
  15. there is a vast difference between silly cloths and exposed undergarments....why am I not surprised you don't understand the difference....and yes appearence in public is often a good judge of a person....if you look like a clown you are probably a clown....if you look like a fool you are probably a fool....if you look like you just got down working hard doing construction you probably just got done working hard doing construction says the vast majority of people who choose to avoid living in areas frequented by people walking down the streets drinking from 40s and yea....TEXAS is the ONLY place on earth where you can't walk down the street drinking from a 40......we are SO backwards
  16. some people can find an excuse for any behavior.....I suppose next you will tell us about people who can't find pants that fit, afford a belt, or have a shirt to wear in public.....much less control their desires to destroy where they live and its surroundings walking anywhere drinking a 40 in public makes you look like a moron and most people have the self control to wait until they get home before they crack open their cheap booze I am pretty sure that walking down the street drinking is illegal as well, but not 100% sure....but I am 100% sure it makes you look like a loser
  17. yes because our heads will hurt for many moons from reading your post
  18. just because "black and Mexican" pops into your head when you hear stories of areas filled with crime and areas that have been trashed does not mean you have to transfer your guilt about thinking that to the rest of us.....if you hate it being veiled then come right out and admit that is what comes into your mind......or is that what your post was trying to admit
  19. 40 dollar oil would have been a God send just 6 years back so Houston can still do quite well with 40 dollar oil anything over 30 is enough to keep most projects running and allow for new exploration on a small basis....even a few years back 25 was the goal to keep things running looking at the chart above oil has RARELY been over 30 a barrel and often well under that and Houston has survived even when it was much more dependent on oil than it is today the consumption of energy is not going away....and if the price stays too low too long and exploration is cut then that will only lead to what we have seen recently which is a massive spike in price when people see that there is a shortage because new resources have not kept up with consumption...Houston is a boom and bust town that is what has helped make it the special place it is....Texas in general is the same be it cotton, cows, or oil only now people are more and more realizing this and not being so crazy in the good times so they are ready for the bad....but no matter what we will survive and when things come roaring back we will just survive better and have more fun doing it
  20. when you "reply" down on the right there is a button that says "browse" you hit it and find the photo on your storage medium on your computer and then hit "upload" and after a bit of hour glass you will see it listed as an attachment then when you hit "add reply" it is there in your reply
