Yet another thread deleted? No reasons?

Actually it’s a cultural thing.
It has everything to do with Western expansion and the Pioneers.

Was that before or after the land was stolen from the Mexicans?

Texas history states that we won that war fair and square.....

Actually, the designation of southern, western, etc. in the USA seems totally arbitrary only when you look at it in modern context. Originally, designations included mid-west, west, etc. based on the USA prior to the admission of the states on the western side of the Louisiana purchase. From an historical perspective, therefore, Texas is a western state.

Not unlike those of Norman blood keeping a Saxon as a pet (as opposed to a serf).

I didn't realise you had Saxons in Canada.

The admission of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.

In your case it may be twenty or thirty years ( you do have quite a bit of catching up to do) but it will be worth the journey.

Well that's odd, I can't find any reference material pointing to the claim that Canada had Saxons either, perhaps you could supply a reference in support of the claim

I'm still waiting for you to tell me what kind of Steer that was in my previous post.

I should think you would have been able to find that on the internet 25 times by now.

Are any so called mods going to be man enough to answer the question as to why threads are deleted without notice or comment?

Or is this site really a dictatorship ruled by egotistical wannabe's.

[The_Doc_Man]

Based on your previous posts, Col, the USA was for a long time run by an egotistical person and I gather you weren't fond of Mr. Blair, either. So why shouldn't this sites leaders emulate world leaders and make decisions that you believe to be arbitrary? They've had such good examples set for them on the world stage.

Why call it a "steer"?

Surely it is either a cow or a bull.

What is the difference between a cow and a steer?

See the big horns? You grab those and "steer" it.
