billvon 2,400 #1 January 15, 2003 I moved to San Diego about ten years ago for a job. I moved here from New York, and the climate is, well, a bit different. So are the bars, drop zones, beaches, ski places, mountains etc. The one problem is that lots of people want to move here for the above reasons, and traffic's getting sorta bad. So for all you people considering moving, here's what this place is really like: You can't get meat. Not one little bit of it. Every restaraunt and food store here carries only fruit and nuts and wierd stuff like wheatgrass. And sushi, which isn't really meat. All the women here are crazy raving feminists. Yes, even the skinny blonde ones in bikinis. They'll accuse you of assault for just opening the door for them, even if you're another woman. The smog is impossible. Ignore the EPA stats, you can't see ten feet in front of your face. Most people here are gay, and if you go out at all, you will be forced to go to gay bars where you will either be hit upon mercilessly or publically humiliated. If you own property, hippies will move onto it and build a commune, and the police will come and kick you out of it. If you rent, you'll be required to participate in whatever drug or wiccan ceremonies the landlord chooses. If you have kids, they will have to go to flaming-liberal camp every summer, where they will be taught to burn the flag, take drugs and insult aging overweight republicans. Have an SUV? You'll be deported to Texas, or required to buy some hideously ugly environmentally correct car. Anyway, it's certainly a horrible place to live, so if you're considering a change of address, Minnesota is a much more hospitable place. Or Kansas, or Utah, or South Dakota. Avoid California at all costs! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,400 #4 January 16, 2003 >Earth quakes every ten minutes. Wow, did you go ten minutes today without one? >IV aids infected needles strewn about as far as the eye can see Well, but everyone knows that. After all, they give out syringes preloaded with heroin here. And of course don't forget the government helicopters who hover outside your window to spy on you.

Gawain 0 #5 January 16, 2003 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Funny stuff. Of course, if you want meat, drive fast, have an SUV, want to own property ($$$$$$), beautiful weather, just go to Orange County. Hell, in the spingtime, everything smells like flowers. *L*So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

BoobieCootie 0 #8 January 16, 2003 Orange County? Isn't that place bankrupt to the point that they can't even cash a check in hell? (circa 1995 I believe was when their county bonds were rendered worthless because some jackass, who probably got fired and later joined the ranks and took out Enron and WorldCom, invested in derivitives) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,400 #9 January 16, 2003 >Orange County? Isn't that place bankrupt to the point that they can't >even cash a check in hell? Well, hell is still taking their checks, but no one else is - which is important since so many of them end up there. In fact, all of California is bankrupt; there's not a company here that's not in Chapter 11. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also know that New Jersey has more landfills per capita that any other state, while California has more lawyers per capita than any other state.

airann 1 #20 January 16, 2003 I went there once for an Invitational Contest. (Womens Surfing, 1982) I went straight to the peir from Orange County were I stayed with a friend of a friend. (lotsa smoke inside his house, whew) So I dont remember much of that. I got to the peir and the first words spoken to me in that state were .... "Hey would you like to register to vote to legalize marijauana. " So, I figure what the hell... and I signed his form. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
