Tough, kiddo. This is an open forum. But there is hope -- the ignore feature is at your disposal.

How come people aren't jealous of Chicago or Illinois?

Some people are jealous of Chicago and do whatever it takes to move here. Others couldn't care less. What's this got to do with the topic?

Why are you posting on the California forum? If anything it suggests you have some sort of preoccupation with California and need to vent your antipathy for my state. And to be quite honest, nobody is jealous of Illinois and you and both know it. But rather than go into numerous examples I will let it go with the question to you: why are you posting on the California forum?

You have no idea where I went , what I saw . or how long I was there .

I have plenty of reasons I choose not to live there . I'm not making them public here , because the subject isn't open for debate . California isn't for everybody . Deal with it .

Sure thing. The condescending superiority attitude displayed by caliguy19 is a common sentiment expressed by many Californians. It's not enough to just like California, but they have to go on and put other places down. It's the West Coast version of NYC-centrism. This is a big part of why California gets the kind of scrutiny it does. A similar, perhaps related, reason is Californians' legendary propensity to move to a different state and make spectacular boors and asses of themselves.

Because someone asked a question and I answered it. And I don't need nor will I seek your blessing to do so.

I don't care if anyone is jealous of Illinois or not. It doesn't affect my day-to-day life one way or another. You're another glaring example of the type of person I just described to Fontucky.

Oh, I'm just so crushed! You seem to be avoiding the question. What about Chicago is better than Los Angeles? And why don't people on the Illinois forum ask why people are jealous of Illinois? The answer, of-course is probably something you'd rather not know. I'll give you a hint: nobody is jealous of your state because aside from Chicago you state is super boring!

You keep trying to push that same button. Since you haven't figured it out yet, I'll come right out and tell you, it doesn't work.

what are you talking about? and why the hell are you bringing me into this discussion with someone else? I am so tired of this topic. i wish the moderator would just lock it. I am tired of arguing, making a good point and then getting critisized.
