You and me both. Of course posting on City-Data can also be .... fun.

And this is key. Health is everything and family is second. Can't do a darn thing when the body breaks.

Wrong.

I’ve had more road rage situations here than in my entire life in SoCal...only here, it means as a driver you can be pushed off into a ditch, or down a mountain, or have a foreign object thrown at your car, or have someone throw a foreign object at you when you are walking your dog, all of which myself & spouse have experienced. Speed limits are very low in my area, primarily because the area is a known speed trap & pricey tickets are revenue. State Patrol are everywhere, just itching to bust you. So, I go the speed limit, I can’t afford a ticket. But then, I get my a** ridden & flipped off. What I can’t figure out is, where are these people in a hurry to get to, we’re in the middle of nowhere, & why are they so mad? So now, instead of playing bumper cars on the freeway, I play dodge the aggressive loony-tuner.

Then, there are a lot of people who like the poster in #4 above who are huge California-haters IRL. BTW, that poster is everywhere, I was shocked to see him in the San Diego forum. Oh, well, everything is California’s fault.

It’s just the way of the world, & especially, this country now. If anyone finds Nirvana, please share.


I used to live in Ohio and my impression is that San Diego has fewer road rage drivers than where I used to live. In regard to the California haters you see lots of them on the P&C board and they are really creepy. It's hard to understand why their feelings are so intense especially since it appears many of them have never lived here. I have seen several posts where these people hope all Californians die in our ongoing forest fires because of what they perceive to be our misguided political beliefs.

You claim to be all jolly and humble but are the first to complain and stress over issues in City Data. Can’t wait til you get priced out of San Diego out to Arizona.
I'm rubber and you're glue....sticks and stones

How is the topic stupid and wrong? This thread is *not* about you, btw. There are at least a couple of logical fallacies in this post but I'm too tired at this point to decipher them. Lay off the eggnog, please.

(edit: argument by assertion and cherry-picking seem to be the fallacies at play here)
