Why California Kicks Ass!!!
 

Here's a few off the top of my head...

• Largest economy of any state in America, and the 8th largest economy on the planet earth.
  
• The best looking women on the planet earth.
  
• Sunshine and perfect weather 300+ days of the year.
  
• Entertainment Capital of the World.
  
• Diverse culture of people from all over the world, speaking every language on earth, and all of them as American as anyone born here.
  
• Tolerant culture that treats all people equally under the law regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, etc.
  
• Healthy, good looking, tanned, and toned people everywhere you go, that respect the environment, and are socially responsible.
  
• Blue State
  
• The fact that I can proudly walk into a well-lit, clean, and professional establishment filled with a friendly staff that provides me with a menu of different types of marijuana and products that contain marijuana including food, lotions, etc.

:D ;) :joint: :fumette:

I met my wife in Monterey when I was stationed at Fort Ord. Best duty station in the world, ever.

I was born in Cali, I hear that being a native is a rare thing, on the whole.

I voted yes on the referendum to split the state into two, Northern California, and Southern California. I don't like SoCal. Even the surf sucks down there.

Unfortunately for you two, I've made a deal with Satan to have the next major earthquake break off California, and it's suburb of Oregon, and plunge it all into the Pacific Ocean.

Sorry guys.

This statistic has always seemed a bit odd to me. It's based on where lines are drawn on a map and nothing else. If you created a state about the same size as California on the East coast, from Massachusetts to NC, you'd have an even larger economy than California.

It's "the people's republic of california which is full of socialist idiots"

All that Socialism must be having some sort of positive effect, no? Otherwise how can it be explained, radar?

Sounds like I need to check out what all the hoopla is about.

Many Seattlites will applaud.

Apparently we live in different Californias. The one I live in has people that are fat and lazy, half of them look homeless, they litter and don't give a shit about the environment. 'Perfect' weather would imply there is more weather than "Hot" "Not as hot" "Windy" and "Raining". There's an active KKK cell in the town twenty minutes east of me, and I've met more racist people since moving here than anywhere else in the country.

BTW- Did Bullit get out alive?

Don't forget the agriculture.... lots of fruits and nuts.

Is your California called, um, Rhode Island? ;) They must have good menu smoke!

Yay for you for loving the place you live Radar.
The weather sounds like hell to me though (as does being surrounded by beautiful women!)

Damn - you beat me to it S123

;)

I'm an ex-pat California born and bred.

too crowded.
