I lived for 2 years in San Diego, the most boring of my life and I have been sharing my experiences. Most of California is great (Bay area, Humboldt, Sierra Nevada, Inyo, Yosemite) but I happened to pick the worst place in the state. I am not hating, just trying to point out stuff certain California "cheerleaders" forget to mention!

So what is your definition of obnoxious? Please tell me your not one of those people that think that because me and my partner hold hands in public on occasion or make the seldom quick peck on the lips that we're being obnoxious. If that is so, then you aren't truly in favor of gay rights. If you were then you would believe homosexual couples should be allowed the same rights as a heterosexual couple. I'm not blaming by any means (I don't even know you), I'm just saying since you didn't clarify what obnoxious is.

UB50 and Twinkle Toes.... You two make me laugh SO hard I love it!

I have to say the majority of people think that Californians are snobby or whatever you want to call it is because of how TV portrays it. I met numerous people in the years I lived in ND that hated Californians based solely on what they have seen on TV. If we only believed what was on TV then we would assume Seattle kids are all suicidal, Texas residents all have a twang to their voice and ride horses in their spare time, Minnesotans end all sentences with "you betcha", all southerns in-breed, all Floridians flash their....um....goods to any available camera. Get the idea? TV over dramatizes everything.

Good post BREAOC.
You make a good point.

I must say, though, that I've never heard of Seattle kids being suicidal & that southerners are inbred. Hillbillies maybe & us folk from Louisiana are definately in favor of the term 'coon*****' but the inbreeding thing I've just never heard of.
And I thought all people from Texas DID ride horses in their spare time! JJ!!

Oh, this hating on people happens on so many forums, and it's not directed only at Californians. I was reading the Illinois forum a few weeks ago to find something out about Galena, a cool little town that a friend of mine is from, and the big thing there was about how people from Wisconsin were all dumb, unsophisticated idiots compared to people from northwestern Illinois. It was a really rancorous exchange, too. I mean, how big of a difference can there be? It would have been funny if it weren't so sad that people insist on seeing in black and white instead of shades of gray.

The hating has gotten out of hand. I truly believe the wrong people are running for president. What we all need is someone who is a lover - not a fighter. Someone who tries to bring the people together - not divide everyone. Someone who is not hatin' but appreciatin'. The man who should be president is none other than ...........

You are pretty funny, we should all get along It is ok to bash other places and call it "telling the truth" but when an ex California resident also tells the truth he is hating. Sounds pretty hypocritical don't you think? Oh wait that's right you live in CaliforniacQuotes from a good movie "I want the truth!" (California uniformed person) "You can't handle the truth!" ( realistic HAPPY ex California residents)
