I have found out why people hate California.

California brought us Tofu, smoking bans in bars, elected the Govenator. Earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides also plague this region.

Did california really bring about tofu?

If its true, I curse thee California. May you fall off into the ocean for giving birth to one of the worst creations of mankind.

Tofu is Chinese.

California brought us Tofu,

False.

Tofu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tofu (the Japanese Romaji spelling), also known as doufu (the Chinese Pinyin spelling often used in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (the literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin,[1] made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dis

smoking bans in bars,

False.

Smoking ban - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arizona became the first US state to pass a comprehensive law restricting smoking in public places in 1973. California enacted a workplace smoking ban in 1994, and a complete smoking ban in enclosed spaces in 1998. Washington state passed initiative 901 in 2005, banning smoking within 25 feet of public buildings or places of employment.[37][38]

elected the Govenator.

And Florida gave us "The Decider". But of course it's just one more spurious argument you make up to criticize a region you obviously have not a clue about.

Earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides also plague this region.

Snow storms, hurricanes and tornadoes plague the rest of the country. Your point?

Why IT. I didn't know you were such an ignorant person. Quit hating on Cali. Specially if you're going to use stupid arguments.
 
Well Californians arent real Americans either. They're mexicans.

....Well guess what Vanilla? At least we're attached to the damn country(God forbid the big one came around any time soon).

You know the highest magnitude earthquake in American history occurred in Alaska in 1964. It was an 8.4 and a Moment Magnitude of 9.2, making it the second largest in the history of the world.

But yeah, back to the point. You may be attached to the country in California, but at least we speak English in Alaska.
 
If it's so great, why do you ****ers keep moving to Idaho trying to wreck up our foothills? :lol:
 
Notice that hatuey has not refuted the claims of communists, or the plastic fake people. Can we assume his silence is confirmation?:2razz:

Touche.....

I ever tell you why I had to learn spanish? My father in law basically told me I couldn't marry Franki if I didn't speak spanish.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever. At least we have Sushi named after our state. What's the most Alaska has? Eskimo pies? And they're not even made with real Eskimo.

Every state has fake make belief people. Alaska has Eskimos. New York has white people. Oklahoma has black people. It's all about perspective.

As far as the communists go. So the hell what? The South has rednecks. I'm more afraid of southern rednecks taking over the government(not like they haven't already) then I am of communists.

By redneck I don't mean blue collar white people. I mean all them silly people who think there wasn't much before Jesus Christ and 2 minute soup cups.

Hello Alaskan Crab legs anyone??

I have a solution for ths argument.....
Since California boasts a bear on its state flag, and Alaska boasts the constellation of Ursa Major(Latin for the Great Bear) we should have an Alaskan bear and a California bear fight it out in a cage match.....

Well a california roll isn't made with real Californians either, now is it. And there is a sushi named after alaska. It's got smoked salmon and eel skin. What's the california roll got...oh yeah, fake crab (imagine that: fake) and avacado. YAY for that. :roll:

But its cool you learned to speak spanish for Franki. That shows some real commitment.

I got a better idea. Let's just have an Alaskan and a Californian fight it out in a cage match. :mrgreen:

But you also forget these great Alaskan foods:

Halibut
Salmon (King, Silver, White)
Reindeer Sausage
Salmonberries
Lingonberries
Largest pumpkins in the world
Bane berries

The answer is simple. It's pure jealousy. Jealous of what you might ask? Simple really. In how many states can a person do all these things in the same day :

Surfing :



Mountain Climbing :



Scuba Diving :



Sky Diving :


See chicks like this on a daily basis :


Obviously in some states you'd be able to do one or two things. Maybe even three but all 5? On the same day? On the same level as California? Highly unlikely. - Thats why people hate Cali. Cause we have it all. Haters.

Actually you left out a few - here're some key ones

For Rivvat since you're gonna be in SD - Mardi Gras at the Gaslamp quarters

All doable in the same day.

Not to mention another few worth mentioning key points.
Nearly all the climates in the world excluding tropical - alpine, desert, Mediterranean. An amazing coastline - some of the best wineries in the world.
The worlds fifth largest economy, except that CA is a state and not a nation; and the largest auto market in the US aka one of the largest auto markets in the world. A huge portion of fresh produce is grown in the valley and tax exempt at local super markets. Perhaps, second to NYC, the most diversified dining experience you could possibly find.

For the military guys, Vandenberg, Edwards, Pendleton, Miramar, Coronado - just to name a few.
Anything you can think of you can essentially find in here in CA.
But perhaps the one that really gets people most upset about CA may be this.

It's virtually gorgeous sunshine 365 days of the year.


Oh yeah and there's also this.

In all the activities listed above :mrgreen:
 
I do have to give California credit for Pebble Beach Golf Course. Alaska doesn't have anything to match it in that regard.

Not that I'll ever get to play there.

I don't know if I could handle Cali or Alaska.

I've been to both places, and while Alaska would be more ideal for me, I was there during the summer. The cold I could adapt to, but I don't know about the lack of sunshine.

Intense cold and lack of sunshine for months? Not for me.

I forgot about this thread. No California didn't invent tofu. They did make it popular first in America. The vegan movement and juice bars came from Cali. I used to live in Cali. Smog drove me out.

I already admitted that I was hatin'. It's all in good fun. You aren't the stupidest state. Thank Florida for that. Although, nominate Hillary and the debate will be on.

Your state is in an economic emergency. The governator is going to cut education and release prisoners early. And at the same time, you are making more laws about not being able to smoke in cars. Your biggest city can't keep an NFL team. Didn't you guys have oxygen bars? :rofl
 
I cannot speak to what kind of city San Diego is.

I was there for 3 months, but I wasn't exactly getting out to see the sights and what not. Although I did get to do quite a bit of hiking :2razz:



Here's a few pics from a point of view you probably didn't enjoy while you were there.

Haven't been able to spot Iron Mike yet.

Hollywood the town and Hollywood the industry are somewhat alike. They are like that one friend you know who is always a bit over the top but in a fun, glam, glitz, nonchalant decadent way. A guy or girl who can dress to the 9's and can be great at a party and always is the center of attention but they're a bit shallow and careless about people's feelings. Not that they don't care, it's just that it doesn't occur to them to care.
 
You guys seriously aren't helping

Well just go out there and judge for yourself. Just really do your research on the economics.

I made a huge financial mistake moving back to Wisconsin because I didn't bother to research the economics of this state. And I lived here most of my life. I should have known, but I was 20 when I left, I didn't care about any of that stuff.

I can still live comfortably on what me and my wife make up here, but I could be living better in South Carolina on the same amount.

Hopefully this possible career change is coming with an increase in pay since San Diego is probably going to be a little be a "slight" increase in the cost of living from where you are now(WV if I remember right?).

You just need to balance all that out with your dream job. Don't rush it.
 
My friend has a wii, and the Tiger woods game.

As much fun as a wii is, and as realistic as games are, it is not anything remotely like actually playing golf. Especially since I can actually hit 290 yard drives on the game :2razz:

I can actually hit my drives about 280ish in real life, sometimes, if I really get into it, just around 300.... the problem is, I never know what direction they're gonna go...
