Whats so bad about calfornia?

[Nomanslander]

Well, has anyone ever heard of the Ugly American?

Well, 95% of them come from California.

The guy that complains in Italy why there's so many people speaking Italian and not English, that person is from California.

Hahaha. That's fantastic. I figured it was going to be Charlie on the MTA, which is where our "Charlie Card" got its name, and a satirical song about how shitty the train system was. I was pleasantly surprised by the dig.

Well this is my own personal issue with California, but it's to big. When people talk about California, it's hard to get an idea of what part of they mean since it encompasses a huge chunk of land. Then again I live in Connecticut, which is about as far from California you can get while staying on American soil. So I really don't have much of an opinion on it. I've also never seen a great amount of hate towards it. Most of the hate seems to go to the south and mid-west, Texas in particular. Unfairly, for the record.

I can't imagine how California could much worse than Connecticut though. Then again our governor isn't considered a walking punchline.

I live in Canada, and I view California as a place that has everything. You can go surf on the beach, you can go party in town, etc. You have LA, San Diego, San Francisco, Disneyland, Legoland, Universal Studios, Hollywood, kick-ass wineries, beaches, pro sports teams, great music, and more.

I think people are just jealous. California is the first place I would want to move if I moved out of Canada.

Same here although I could never live in the big centers. I'd live on one of the smaller towns just off the coast. I could always drive towards the cities if I wanted to.

However, Canada still appeals to me far more than California... I think I would even go as far to say that I'd rather move to the Dutch country side first too. As for the whole California is bad thing, I think people are just judging the state by the worst of Hollywood.

I didn't think it was that bad of a place when I visited there a couple of months ago.
But that was my first time in America.

1. Schwartzie's Gaming laws
2. School's are expensive and suck
3. Lucasfilm in SF area
4. Hollywood is full of assclowns, thus Kim-Jong Il loves it, and by the transitive property of communism, people hate California
5. Gay Marriage and Pot probation (As in people against it)
6. Property values

EDIT: Coming from someone born and raised in that broke-ass state

Well my friend's in California and she says it's fine. Of course she's a tourist so what can you expect!

I guess it's their Anti-Gaming Law which I have really no idea about but caused a big stir.

Tourists will always see an area as being better than the people who live there. I live in St. Augustine. Well, used to, now I'm just farther south in the county. After a while living there, it just becomes...average. Albeit downtown does have some interesting stuff, but eventually it just becomes like any other town or city with its ups and downs.

God, if they would relax their stupid gun laws, I would move to the least populated area serviced by Pink Dot in about half a second. Is it too much to ask for AR-15 ownership and the ability to have scotch and chocolate chip cookies delivered at 2 in the morning?

Napa Valley, Great produce, Similar climate to Australia except it snows more, The Lakers, Metalica...

I don't think it's a matter of dislike. I think the rest of America's just jealous. We Queenslanders get that all the time so I can relate to this phenomenon. They just can't accept the truth. That Califormia is so much better than they are...Except New York. GO THEM YANKEES!!!

Edit - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Ahhhhh... I slay me...Happy new year everyone!

 

[DarkRyter]

Well, I'm not completely sold on the NCR.

But, hey, they're way better than those Legion punks.

 

[Hollock]

I haven't heard that much (if any)hate for California. it's not the best state but I'd rather live there than almost any land locked state.

That sums up quite a bit of the hate, I think.

*Cringes at remembering that song*
