Title: Californians are insane (and here's the proof) Post by: OoBeY on 2003-11-25, 03:03 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/2...&tid=186&tid=99 (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/25/0014257&mode=thread&tid=103&tid=133&tid=186&tid=99)
I really can't comment on that. It's just unreal. Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-11-25, 03:09 Political Correctness offends me. I say we rename it to 'I have issues, dont even bother speaking'.
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: McDeth on 2003-11-25, 03:11 On behalf of CA, I must apologize for the ignorance that has run amuk out here for so long.
On top of this: a) we give licences to illegal immigrants B) our governor is ARNOLD SWRTZENAGGERHEIMERBONJOVICH c) WE HAVE CAR TAXES d) HA HA Micheal Jackson is going to jail. e) Lowest standing test scores in the country f) and many many other things that would take more than 26 letters to list. As you can see OoB, ithis does not suprise me in the least. I dislike Texas. BUT I HATE CALIFORNIA! Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-11-25, 03:20 Quote c) WE HAVE CAR TAXES Lots of places have car taxes. We have a 'county tax' that requires us to pay between 30 and 75 bucks every year, just for little sticker to put in our windows. Gotta love virginia. Not to mention that tags in Oklahoma typically run over $100. Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: McDeth on 2003-11-25, 03:22 I guarentee that CA is way more insane than Virginia by at least 10 fold.

Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Kain-Xavier on 2003-11-25, 04:11 /me hopes California's influence doesn't spread over to Arizona.
Hehe... of course I don't mean that literally, but I do think that's a rather stupid law. I also remember hearing about some really bizzare label warning law in California. I can't remember what exactly it was for though. Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-11-25, 09:15 There's weird laws everywhere.
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Woodsman on 2003-11-25, 15:58 Id like to state as a life long californian that only pockets of california are insane. The bay area and L.A country give the rest of our fair state a bad name and thanks to creative zoning they also have all the political power. Ive lived in pretty much every section of the state and i can safely say only people from the two mentions regions fit the image most people have of california.
Oh and about Arnold at least to him balancing the budget means cutting spending instead of raising taxes. Oh and McDeth is from one of the offending regions just so you know. Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Angst on 2003-11-25, 17:03 pho: careful pho, he's watching..
As for the article itself, all I have to say is: "What the spork?! What the SPORKITY SPORK!!" I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for using your own ignorance as an excuse to be offended..

Quote On Trimming Trees... Plan in the Fire Department is for trimming the trees a lot. I don't like any trimming because it requires the experience of the whole tree to understand if it is exotic, fascinating and interesting to yourself including your friends. Like how you find things in the store for yourself and also appropriate to your friends. This appropriateness without science is medically substantial to find plants. What you see as exotic, extremely interesting, extremely fascinating is good to you; boring things different for different persons --- broccoli better than broccoli sprouts, better than iron, calcium, enzymes, protein and other inedibles in dirt. Broccoli the best. Vote for Bolinas, Socially Acknowledged Nature Loving Town. Because to like to drink the water out of the lakes, to like to eat the blueberries, to like the bears is not hatred to hotels and motorboats.

Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-11-25, 23:58 That's about as :offtopic as you can get
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: McDeth on 2003-11-26, 01:40 Quote from: Woodsman Oh and McDeth is from one of the offending regions just so you know Oh? Where am I from smart guy?Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Lilazzkicker on 2003-11-26, 02:11 Unfortunatly I see the why in this...why to trim em....

Eh, just wait till the storm comes and then charge the hell out of them to turn the power back on.Freakin people just don't get it why it's not smart to plant trees under the lines... Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Phoenix on 2003-11-26, 04:14 Or why it's stupid to run power lines over young trees.
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Woodsman on 2003-11-26, 05:40 your website says oakland
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: McDeth on 2003-11-26, 07:04 Yes, I was born there...
Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: dna on 2003-11-26, 15:58 Quote from: Phoenix Or why it's stupid to run power lines over young trees. That's true, too. But in most cases the easement was there long before the trees were. Most of the time, it's not like the power lines just roll in suddenly one day. (though I've seen that happen before, too).Title: Re: Californians are insane Post by: Woolie Wool on 2003-11-26, 19:31 Quote from: ConfusedUs That's about as :offtopic as you can get If the topic is Californians being insane than it is perfectly on-topic. I also read somewhere that the person who wrote that lives in the bushes and smears chocolate all over her face and is popular in Bolinas, which is a sort of hippy liberal retirement community. The residents of Bolinas brought the letter up as a referendum and for God only knows what reason, approved it (why? The letter makes no sense!).Californians are definitely insane.
