Wow, which mighty fine state's education can you attribute that statement to?

Apparently you have no idea where and what type of fault the San Andreas is.

Yep, actually socal is moving north. One day it will be in central cal.

I wonder what the population in gormon is going to be in 50 years? :D

Oh, but you have nice weather. Yes, that makes up for all the negatives.

they don't report them cause you can't feel them. and having been through major earthquakes, i'll tell you i'd rather be in one than in the path of a tornado or hurricane any day. the worst earthquakes in recent times have knocked down a couple freeway overchanges and crappy old apartment buildings. this has happened only twice in 15 years, which is uncommonly frequent. compare to tornados, which regularly toss mobile homes around like popcorn and destroy crops, and hurricanes, which practically wipe out entire coastlines.

california voted to ban gay marriages a couple years ago. the law still stands. there is no reason to assume we'd vote any different now.

how does not supporting the rational behind a war mean californians are "against the military" or "against america?" completely aside from this momumental and offensive logical blunder, how do you know the majority of californians are even against the war? would it interest you to know that california has the largest number of military installations in the country? that as of today, ~109 californians have given their lives in iraq to protect your ungrateful ass? (sources: CNN, Fox, CBS). that's more than 1/8th the total number of americans killed. tell their families that they're "against america."

you've said some messed up stuff in the past, but this post was definetely some Grade A MichaelD bull.

Bullsh!t. Only Frisco and Daly City is foggy a lot of the time. The other places in the Bay Area has fantastic weather, especially the South Bay Area!

:D

well most parts of San Francisco .. downtown is generally pretty good about fog.

/me lives and goes to school in San Francisco State ... oh i wish it was as sunny as downtown on occasion!

hah silly boy. earth quakes are rare, and modern engineering makes for low casualties, whereas u get floods and hurricaines doing savage damage to the rest of the country every year.

gay? yes, thats why we are the cultural economic powerhouse of america. we are how much of the american economy? how much of americas cultural power emanates from california? hah, its nothing to be proud of that the south has always been behind in terms of civil rights and ending bigotry of all kinds.

as for guns, nuts like the nra think any restrictions = anti gun:p after all, terrorists and criminals should be able to buy guns without background checks or waiting periods from "hobbiests" at gunshows. thats only reasonable!

and dude, think nuclear weapons? all sorts of defence industries:p

and silicon valley? the birth of our high tech industry and all its innovations:p

the jealousy is understandable i guess:p

and some day the sun will go super nova. rather pointless.

california is one of the most liberal states (if not THE liberal state) because its so far from washington dc. no citizen in america is ever going to be allowed not to own a gun without just cause.

liberal enough to elect mr arnold apparently, and before that wilson, and reagan... and... blah blah blah

Here is to all the California haters:

Fine, I don't give a sh!t. You're perfectly welcome to stay the fvck away if you like. Continue to live in Alabama or Arkansas or West Virgina or anywhere else that I don't see you, and you don't see me, and we'll get along fine.

Seriously though, you can run your state however you want, and we can run ours however we want. If you're happy with your state and we're happy with ours, what's really to complain about? Everyone's happy.

What does being White or Asian have anything to do with that?

Funny to watch people bash Cali. The truth is that for the most part since 1849 the idea that is California provided a vision and lure to people living in the East that lasted well into the 20th century. As some of the more rational posters here have pointed out for almost every negative you can cite there is a counterbalancing positive. To judge an entire state of 30 million by transient political fashions of the day is at best short sighted.

Hating us because of a few hippies in berzerkley and hollywood thinking that they represent California is idiotic and ignorant. California has much more to offer than just big cities and movies. Redwood forests in northern california (near the Oregon border), Sierra Nevada, Death Valley, The Joshua Tree, the list goes on and on. How could you hate California?

no, i didn't mean that other states suck. I'm merely saying that haters should shut up.

EDIT: added hollywood onto the list and added constructive comments. My apologies for the stupid comments earlier.

California is a wonderful state. Now if everyone there would just keel over and die, it would be perfect. :)

lol, does making stuff up help compensate for the sh!thole you live in? does it make you feel any better? i've lived in california for about 15 years and saw my first earthquake last month. i'm sure there have been plenty of other ones...i've just slept through them.

what's wrong with gay marriages anyway? we're just gay? i hope you get banned for that one :)

since when does being against the military indicate we are against america? and who the hell said we are collectively against the military? Ok so we want guns out of stupid people's hands. Don't blame us, blame your genetics. and did you ever think that we have some of the biggest military bases in the country?

you're proof that incest results in mentally incompetant offspring. the tradition must end soon, please don't screw your cousin tonight. thanks.

And with it, the US economy.
Whatever. California's economy is so bad that the US's credit rating would go up several points if it slid into the ocean.

you're a moron... you really are.

You know, I've never heard anyone on these forums say anything really bad about California... and if they did say something ill, it was more or less along the lines of talking ill about Canada... no one really does it to be hurtful, they're just being 'funny'

I live 25 miles from the capitol, and I have a 24k dialup connection because the next cheapest thing is $100/mo satallite! (or $70/mo+$300 setup)

Isn't driving like a Moron and Hot Rodding the same thing? BTW, Gay Marriages are not legal in CA and if you want to see real Morons on the road come to Boston!

No, hot rodding and driving like a moron are completely seperate items. Attaching a supercharger to your car and doing 50MPH in the left lane rarely coincide.

So I gather by Hot Rodding you mean taking it to the track where other lives are not endangered. That's not illegal in California. Of course street racing is and unless it is done out in the desert or on roads never used in the boondocks it is moronic. It is also illegal in all 50 states.
