Ummmmm, no, it's not the herb (it's rare ... very rare that i post when i'm high curmugeon) ... it's the awareness.

So, regarding violation:
Isn't it obvious?
Look at the shape this country is in for example?
Who do you figure is predominantly responsible?
I was merely saying that violence / violation expresses itself in many ways and it's not only the overt and obvious criminals that act against humanity.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, they probably aren't too happy today.

In California, I'd say the Bay Area. In my time living there, I haven't noticed any bros except the ones who happened to get into Berkeley (where they become pretty pretentious extremely quickly).

However, there will always be a youth centered subculture that breeds idiots. In the Bay Area, the aggressive young uneducated people have a propensity to be pretty wanksterish, talking about how hood they are even though they are from Atherton. Wanna-be gangsters **** me off.

i moved to LA from IE (bro heaven) and OC (HB is the bro capitol of the world i believe) and i rarely see any bro types unless i drive by a construction site. you certainly don't see any at the local bars or restaurants and certainly not at any type of cultural event (unless you consider punk/hardcore music cultural).

although i find many other groups of young people annoying (greasy wannabe hollywood types, entitled hipsters, and frat dudes that graduated college years ago to name a few), bros definitely top the list.

The following districts of San Francisco, in no particular order:
The Marina, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Pacific Heights, Seacliff, St. Francis Wood, Glen Park, Noe Valley, The Castro.

Of course, if you actually lived in such a place you might find yourself equally disgusted by people who are the opposite of bros.

Also, truth in advertising, the Bay Area is not bro less. Once you get out of the hip zones, there are plenty of them. There are even bros in the City - there are remnants in the former middle class hoods (North Beach, The Richmond, The Sunset) and there are "healthy" populations in the former ghetto / working class hoods where the remaining middle class folks hold out clinging by their fingernails - The Excelsior, Ocean View, The Mission, Bayview / Hunter's Point, etc. And of course in any of the non yuppie suburbs that remain, as well.

There's a bro in sophisticate clothing on my road, just a couple doors down.

On the surface he looks like the typical Silicon Valley engineer but he's got all the toys of a true bro. Love it when he fires up the dirt bike ... LOL!

Hey I like Redneck games, but that doesn't mean I want to look like one though.
