Because Austin is in Texas and Austin is cool. Believe it or not, we have a lot of awesome people all over Texas. Unfortunately, it's the idiots who make the most noise.

I often ask Canadians the same thing about Quebec.

We aren't all that stupid over here. It's just that Texas is a huge state and the crazy to sane people ratio is much larger and louder. It's like your super embarrassing racist drunk relative who keeps humiliating you and you can't get them locked up.

Are you serious or are you seriously trolling? This doesn't only occur in Texas (where I live, by the way). This happens everywhere. Read the comments, dude.

Seriously, Greycat? I'm from Houston, and your comment is waaaaay off base. Houston has a history of being one of the most liberal and progressive Southern cities. It's one of the most international cities in the country as well. We may have terrible humidity and no zoning (makes for a kind of ugly city), but we…

The South is often used by people in other parts of the US to pat themselves on the back and ignore the racism and other institutional -isms in their own communities.

What do you call couples who practice the pullout method? Parents.

I agree with you. Passive/Aggressive in practice right there

I guess I don't just get this. If you've decided that you're OK with having a baby, then you're not ambivalent. You're OK with having a baby. And if you're a woman who is still ovulating, with a partner producing healthy sperm, and you decide to forgo birth control, you're making a decision that you're OK with…

Not to mention that it just sounds messy and not as good as regular sex.

You know that Crest commercial where they say "If you're not whitening, you're yellowing?" That's how I feel about pregnancy prevention: if you're not actively preventing, you're inviting.

James Franco is such a narcissist... there is absolutely no way that he isn't going to read this article and comments. Hi James!

I'm just guessing here, but I bet your brother not dating white girls has nothing to do with you.

There are similar genius puppies in this amazing compilation of puppies learning to go up and down stairs. I'll just leave this here.

I'm going to be an incoming freshman at RIT and they've made it very clear that any nonconsensual sexual acts (rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, etc) can lead to expulsion (and jail time if it goes to court).
