Obviously, opinions on beauty are subjective, so...

Tennessee has pretty hills, but prettier than Orange County? Let's not get too carried away. The people I came across seemed pleasant. A little inbred looking maybe, but pleasant.

They've got to move where their demographics dictate: gotta go where the fatties are!

There's no such thing as sitting on a beautiful beach at sunset surrounded by the most beautiful people on the planet Earth in the state of Tennessee.

SMH...obviously your post wasn't too well thought out.
That is your opinion, and you're entitled to it. To each his own. So you can like whatever you desire, but don't be so presumptuous to assume everyone likes the same as you.

As the saying goes, opinions are like butt holes... everybody has them, and they usually smell.

So since the world doesn't revolve around your opinion, whose post exactly wasn't too well though out?

Many of those in Hollyweird have second homes in tax-friendly states and declare those as their primary residence for tax purposes. Then there are other cheats like Bruce Springsteen and others who take "fam exemptions" for their mansions even though they have never planted one crop or raised one animal.

You know the melody but, I suggest you LOOK UP THE WORDS.

"I wish they ALL could be California girls".

In other words girls are GREAT all over the U.S. and they wished they were In CA.

"but I don't really care. "

You say this a lot on C-D yet, you STILL post remarks.

Better pack some heat too since they're moving to a state that is riddled with crime. Second to only Washington DC. Cali didn't make top 10 here either. Also note majority are red states.

The Most Violent Crime-Ridden States in America - Pg.9 - TheStreet
Yeah, you're right about the food stamps... kind of depressing to see that, but...

You should do a little more research on that crime stat. The way TN reports crimes to the FBI overstates the numbers. And if you could remove the entire Memphis metropolitan area, those stats would drop like a lead balloon. I feel perfectly safe here - and virtually everyone you'd ask in this state outside of Memphis would say the same.

It's about perspective, people.

Sounds like you should have bought in CA where we have prop 13. Sucks to be you.

I like paying 4k in taxes on a 2 million dollar house.

Yeah, well I'd bet my $300K home is bigger than your $2M one. More bang for your buck here.

Your comprehension of those lyrics is entirely incorrect.

It means he wishes the girls in the other places could be as attractive as they are in CA.
