      Alaska: “We have the biggest state!”

      Texas: “How long does it take to drive across?”

      Alaska: “We wouldn’t know, we’ve never left Anchorage.”

        Alaska: our mountains are so huge, weather so severe, and land so vast, that mankind does not have the ability to build roads across our state. Come at me, Texas.

    Bigger in everyway! Bigger crime, bigger gun problem, bigger capture by oil companies, bigger environmental damage, bigger racism, bigger highways… The list goes on!

      Not to defend Texas, but Alaska has waaaaaay more crime. At least if we’re talking about violent crimes. I wanted to move there once, but I decided against that based mostly on that factor. Approximately 8 in every 1000 people will commit a violent crime in Alaska. For reference, Texas is about 5.

    lol

    Sincerely, Australia; where two states are bigger than Alaska, and all but 2 states and 1 of 2 real internal territories are bigger than itty-bitty Texas.

    I live in California and I can buy weed at the weed store.

    Texans can’t.

    Californian women have protected human rights that Texan women don’t.

    So I guess my state has more freedom than Texas.
