The California Thread

[jwwphotos]

Now here's something that sounds interesting. I surfed the web, and there are many lists and opinions proving California to be a bad state. I agree with all that.

First off, you seriously crack me up...

This may sound interesting even if it's not... lol

I was born in California and enjoy going back and visiting the state when I can. Especially Laguna Seca, Sonoma, and the Fontana race tracks, the coast up Hwy 1, Golden Gate bridge and the bay area. Beautiful scenery, great food, some really fantastic times I've had there.

..as a contrast, where I live now was just voted the best place to live in the United States by the Today Show.

I seriously hate the Today Show. lol

I'm do not agree with California being the worst state, but I do see the point in those reasons. I'm very conservative (and I lost respect in liberalism), but I'm not trying to taunt anyone who likes the state. I do like the state. I'm born there, but I can't live with these expenses or regulations.

I should've never said that one post. And what is the Today Show?

You have quite a few of those...

...and if you Google the Today Show, you would find that it is a morning show on NBC.

Wow, not sure how anyone could hate California. There's such an incredible diversity.

Driving up the Pacific Coast Highway - flat out awesome. The mountains - fantastic! Cliffs overlooking the ocean, huge beaches! I could see not liking certain parts of it - but hating the whole state????

Living here in Florida, I can say we have a nice state with nice year-round weather (except for the odd hurricane....), but we don't have NEARLY the diversity of California.

I do like California. I really do. I have mountain fever, and i prefer Disneyland over Disneyworld, but California is a blue state. The state you live in (as well as my home state), both of them are red states. I would have an easier life in the red states than the blue states.

Well, Venice Beach was a nice place. You're right about it being diverse. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Quality life.

Only it might just be a bit too diverse. I saw a black bald woman in a blue dress, walking along the street singing aloud:

Mods can read the edit history. They would probably know what you said before you changed it.

On topic: I heard more about California. They're spending too much on welfare, promoting laziness. I suggest they should stop spending on people so they won't go bankrupt. They also spend too much on the non-citizens and prisoners. And our president won't get the state to stop spending. Instead, he would bully the red states into doing the same thing. We have common sense. If the federal government is forcing us to become liberal, we can disobey them until they no longer bully us into becoming liberal.

Doesn't matter. Point is, he removed it before too many people saw it.

Apple, I'm from California and you will not escape nor ignore my elitist liberal agenda. I will find you and I will liberalize your face and paint your house blue. You don't know what bullying is until you've met a person who supports social reform. I will pay for peoples medical operations in front of you and your family until you beg me to stop.

Well in that case, I need $100,000 in order to pay for my surgery on my Hemoglophobizfulflklsjfd;ajff...

See that, he didn't have the money to cure his disease and he died before he could even type it out. If only there were some kind of tax that would enable him to receive the medical attention he needed.

Your liberal magic won't work because I don't even live in California. I started this thread because I was born in California. I'm somewhere over 1500 miles away from you. And your idea of "painting my house blue", that's not going to turn me into a Democrat. The Dems don't monopolize the color blue. In fact, it should be the other way around, where the Democrats (liberals) are the red party while the Republicans (conservatives) should be the blue party. Oh wait... So that would make Texas (where I live) a blue state while California a red state. If this is true, what are you going to do? Paint my house red? I bet you know how to deliver red paint over by sending it through the internet waves only and not use transportation. You'll never find me. Maybe I should go hide in a cave (unless it's already too late).

BTW, I'm glad you're back.

What the heck does politics have to do with liking a state or not? ...no no, it's a rhetorical question, do not answer that!!!!

READ THE TITLE OF YOUR THREAD. It is what do you like best about California. ...and there you go saying you hate it and now into politics. Quit looking for controversy, especially in threads you create. You are fixated by it and it really gets old.

Back on Topic!!! California is one amazingly cool state. It being so long, large and along the coast adds to that diversity. If you have never been there, I feel it really is a must visit.

..and you don't have to live there to like it. mmmkay?

I was pointing out to the bad parts and good parts too. Nice weather, nice food, nice parks, but bad politics. That describes California.

Oh, and this thread is anything about California, not just what's best about California.

No.. the title specifically says what do you like best about California.

Though you edited your last post already, If you want to discuss politics then start another thread. Why I mention it is that it has to do with the rules of this site and you having a habit of wandering all over the place seemingly to keep your threads bumped. I would think from other threads that have been closed recently for just those things, you would have learned by now.

Soooo again, back on topic.. I think i like the bay area and the coast best as far as the scenery goes.

Yeah, San Francisco has these nice trams called "trolleys". That's what's good about San Fran. Would you like to ride one if you go there again?

Possibly.. I think the cable cars are cooler though. Used to ride them with my Mom when I was a kid. Not sure if they are all still around, but I was thinking a few still are.

[Rabid-Coot]

do not mention anything political here.

Well that worked.
