There's nothing wrong with California that earthquakes and sinking into the ocean wouldn't cure.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in California. Let the damn Mexicans have it.

So is saying California is pretty. What's the difference when you say it?

atlanta may very well be wonderful, but you can find many of the same or similar things in other cities.


Same with San Diego, San Francisco, Sacremento, San Jose, and Los Angeles. So?

the thing that i believe is, california offers everything any other state could, and more.


Yes, more annoying lefties for starters... that drags it down in my opinion. Yep, there is only one California, but you can have it . And if you think Georgia and Alabama are the same then you haven't seen both of them, have you? I wonder how Mobile or Montgomery are the same as Atlanta and Savannah? They aren't.

I said SOME of the best baseball, not the absolute best! Jeez, learn to read .

And I make this observation because of the major league players today from Georgia (I'm not saying California has worse baseball btw, I wouldn't know). Such as Moises Alou, JD Drew, Russ Branyen, Kevin Brown, Sean Burroughs, Mike Cameron, Tim Hudson, Corey Patterson etc.

house minority leader, not too much power...

while i was in the shower i was thinking about the economic contributions of each state and i knew california has a greater economic contribution to the US than georgia.

now take that with as little weight as you want, but surely the US would be far worse off without california than without georgia.

And that has a bearing on which state you'd rather live in how? I guess you are one of those people that don't like the rest of the US?

id rather live in a winner state, than a throw away state

and for the record id like california to leave the US. Only because i think california can do better than being ***** slapped continiously by a conservative nation. California is either ignored or hated by a lot of people in the US.

So I guess you rather live in Texas than Oregon?

And actually, Texas is probably a bigger winner state than California... at least looking at political power.

That's why you should back states' rights .

California manages to get quite a bit done that it wants... just not on the national level... but it has plenty of power over its own state.

As I live in San Jose I will obviously choose Cali, we have better weather and wemen and more stuff to do. I can drive To Oakland, San Francisco Lake Tahoe, Beaches, Sking, Forests, Deserts, Indian Casinos and just about anythying you could want within two hours. But the quality of the character of the people that live here is very low. Georgia has the same problem ie lousy people, I know from experiance.

I refuse to vote in this poll. neither. I'd rather die.

On a side note they are trying to recall Gov. Gray Davis.

He has been called the worst governor in the history of the U.S. in any state in any time.

I have to go with California because it can be a very beautiful state and Georgia is butt-ugly.

But I'd have to figure out a way to not pay state taxes such as income and sales taxes, and tune out liberal idiots like Gray Davis.

my vote goes with California

So, I guess the Watts riots were about solidarity among the proletariat? And, of course, Rodney King and the LAPD have shown the world what a racially harmonious place Cali is.



So, what is the purpose of this thread? To bash on a state where you have (obviously) never been?

While California is one of the more "premiere" states in the union, the fact remains that Cali will always have NY to look up to.

actually, when i think of good things on the west coast, i think of seattle and portland. california seems to be missing from that...

quote:
I never have to leave town.

that's rich. california, right? you are well aware that atlanta, like all the cities in california, is a prime example of the sunbelt cities. while technically imran driving thirty minutes would get him across three or four different municipalities, the scale of atlanta is as such as two or three of those municipalities are really just extensions of atlanta.

the difference between downtown decatur (one said city) and downtown atlanta is the distance between the magnificent mile and maybe cermack/chinatown in chicago. the difference between where i am (tucker) and downtown atlanta is the distance between the magnificent mile and hyde park.
atlanta's a politically weak city, which is why the traffic problem is an issue, which is why atlanta hasn't incorporated more land, which is why it's only got 300k residents.
imran--nor i--have to "leave town" to get said ethnic foods.
