You have such an inferiority complex. Happily, no, most of us aren't like you and we do not take joy out of the troubles of our fellow Americans. My suggestion is that you need to get the chip off of your shoulder because it's making you look bad.

What "irony"?
I don't think he does know the definition as I see him misuse the term constantly.

Yeah, well, why would we go hang out on the Alabama or similar forums?

I can imagine why people from Alabama or Texas would be interested in California though.
Eat your hearts out.

It's not California's fault per se.

Those imparting the most damage tend to be transplants or at very least offspring of them, who are completely disconnected from the "California True" notions well described by .highnlight.

What is sad is to see a few of you old timers on that bandwagon. I realize there was a Frank Norris crowd around here for decades prior to the more recent influx. But that bandwagon you are on is headed for the cliff. Even those old Wobbly type values so rife on the Embarcadero in days of yore are not respected by this newer crowd. But go right ahead marching behind the Pied Piper.

Were you drinking when you wrote this? What on earth did you read to come to that conclusion? Talk about a comment from out of nowhere...

My point was still a little valid though. There isn't any rivalry or bickering going on between Alabama and California. There is quite a bit of arguing (at least in this forum) between CA and TX. Me personally, I did 6 years in TX at FT Hood. I had my share of fun there. I can say that it's better than a lot of people here make it out to be. But then again, so is CA. However, if given a choice I would rather bag groceries in CA than own a grocery store in TX. Mother nature just didn't like TX too much.
