Do you know how it feels to be labeled communists, sinners, evil, baby killers, nuts, fruits etc. Don't forget "California should just fall in the ocean" That is the kind of crap Californians have to put up with from the midwest and south states everyday. Don't act like your life is sooo hard. If you want to talk about being victims of the "liberal evil" then go to the Texas forum or Political forum for that propaganda crap.

The vast majority of my threads have nothing to do with other states.

I post things to show to my fellow Californians that all is not lost, we do not stand at the edge of some abyss and we are not going anywhere but up.

Our best days are ahead of us, our potential is limitless, our innovaton is unparalleled and our resilience and determination will see us through this economic downturn just like it has in the past.

And to be honest, I could care less what out-of-staters think, their offense is meaningless to me and my threads arent really about them at all.

Its all about California to me.

Fair enough. The majority of the threads you posted are mostly about California. And I'll admit cherry-picking some of the threads, but that doesn't change the fact that some of the threads you started elicited political controversy among forum posters.

"California gets BOOBY prize for business climate by 651 top CEO's in the U.S."

"OOPPS! California deficit now projected at 25 BILLION, bring on the taxes Moonbeam (2011, how much)"

"California's business tax climate ranked 2nd worst in the Nation for fiscal 2011 (Montclair: bankrupt, college)"

"Texas is the new California? (Columbia: 2010, houses, to buy)"

My guess is that these threads are more in line with your own thinking! Right?

Posters from out of state have commented on how political the California forum is. And that may be a result of California allowing it's citizens to be very involved in decision-making unlike the overwhelming number of other states.

But if all this somehow offends your sensibilities I suggest you put me on "ignore" so you don't have to be bothered with how other people think except your beloved Republicans.

More partisan remarks, as usual. You seem pretty trigger-happy with labeling others who don't identify with your liberal views as "Biblebelt redneck" conservative Republicans, right?

He's literally taken a sh*t on upwards of 500 threads with the same copy+paste button. I think that's a far bigger issue than what you're talking about.
I am not disregarding your points and your post, but I honestly don't frequent the San Francisco Forum category.

Yeah. I get so stressed that to relieve it, I post off-topic threads meant to denigrate the GOP and Biblethumping rednecks living in the midwest like Texas, right?

Yes I do. So, suck it up and take it like a man instead of shooting off immature posts in an open forum.

As usual, 18Montclair and californio sur participate in selective threads only to incite. californio sur, thumbs up for "La Raza"? Seriously? Maybe you should head on over to Mexico or Puerto Rico, since you seem to want huge sweeping changes in California to occur.

Perhaps, but there isnt anything wrong with that. People are entitled to their opinions and I don't mind hearing them, even i they differ from mine.

California is not sanitized and one-dimensional. Contrary to what outsiders might think, We are a loud, raucous bunch and we represent the extremes of the political spectrum and I think despite our differences, we have a lot to teach each other.
