And I'm sorry that your mind is so feeble that it can't wrap itself around the awesomeness that is California.

Seriously though, to each his or her own, but one slam deserves another

I definitely cannot handle Seattle.

Seattleites are like the banjo picking villagers in the movie Deliverance, except they've managed to convince themselves that they have the cultural refinement and sophistication of Parisians. They are also the meanest people I have ever been around.

I feel like people from Seattle are the same as the people from Canada. They feel like they are important, but they are insignificant. However, there are many places that are much more insignificant than Seattle.

From a scale of 1-10, '10' being cities like (new york, phillidephia, San Francisco, and LA) and '1' being cities we never heard about in Montana... Seattle ranks up around 5. Definately not a 10, but at least we heard of Seattle, Starbucks, and Ichiro.

Overall, they shouldn't think they are as sophisticated, refined, and culturally advanced as San Francsicans (a World class city). They can brag about it to people from Montana, but just know who your audience is. Canadians are the same way trying to take credit for America's success. Maybe some people from Somalia will admire you, but Americans know we can take over your country in a weekend.

I spent a week in SF very recently and the weather was above 70 all week (better than SD for the same period). Also I've had more than a few times driving with my longboard to SD beaches in the middle of summer only to find that I'm one of like three people at the beach and it's cold and overcast. I'm going strongly with SF on this one. Culture wise I think SD would seem pretty rural coming from SEA (though I've never been, only seen it portrayed in media).
