The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Right. Time to settle this once and for all. I present the mother of all contests:
The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union. Or
France versus Texas.
I shall open with a random picture of just another fountain in just another provincial town, Nancy.

Re : The Biggest State in the Union versus the Biggest State in the Union
Kagemusha's picture of a Texas landscape proves Craterus' point.
I'll further prove it with this picture of the fertile fields of France in full flower:

Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
Everyone knows about the Texas vs France thread. I wanna know who really thinks France is better than Texas.
P.S. Texas rules
Re : Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
A quick reminder:
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
France has funnier slang. I'll go with France.
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
I’ll go with France.
Staying European minded here.
Besides I don’t know Texas at all, never been there nor planning to in the near future.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
What I've seen of Texas (El Paso area) I don't like. Granted the Texans are the friendliest people in the Union but desert isn't my scenery not to mention a bombs were tested not too far from El Paso.
The best thing about texas is the Titty Bars but that isn't enough, as a studying Historian I'll go for France seeing as there's much more to read about and also because although France is smaller than Texas it's definately filled with a more beautiful landscape.

Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
It's a tough call, but I think France is better. I mean, where would my country be without our national sport of invading them whenever we get bored?
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
As a kid, my Mom talked about how beautiful Corpus Christy and Galvastine were - aside from Phoenix (only God knows why). After visiiting the, I like Galvastine (sorta, worse sunburn of my young adult life) .... but Corpus is a hole where bigoted whites live.
As for the remainder of Texass .... "it's god's country .... 'cause satan didn't want it (aside from the souls in it). Texas is one big fart that is continuace - the wind blows as much much as their women do. Not ugly, just ... on and on and on and on and on ..........

Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
So you must of fit right into the mold of Corpus then given that you often espouse bigoted view points.
BTW - you needed to go inland many more miles to get to the true bigoted whites who live in that part of Texas. Corpus has nothing on those that live a little fatrher east and north of that town.
lets see if you can take a comment of this type as well as you like to dish them out.As for the remainder of Texass .... "it's god's country ....

O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
I see you've been to Vidor, too. although it's not so much "inland" as simply further up.

When I went to New Orleans last Spring Break, I had to drive through Vidor. OMG, that place is scary man.
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?

Mexican ???? Oh I get it , that explains why you live in San Antonio , thats a damn fine Mexican sounding place
Anyway , do you have any more Texan myths about the civil war that you would like to share ?
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
France is the best because of it's people: They are franks. (quac)

Would you like to compare the details from that link to what you claimed
then perhaps you can go on to all the other inches of Texas that the Union never captured .
Re: Who here thinks France is better than Texas?
From the link above:
This Harriet girl had quite a time! I can see why the Yankees were so hated, going around taking your women and then blowing her up. Was she Texan?They also took Harriet Lane, by boarding her, and two barks and a schooner. Cdr. W.B. Renshaw's flagship, U.S.S. Westfield, ran aground when trying to help Harriet Lane and, at 10:00 am, she was blown up to prevent her capture by the Confederates.
