Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership. Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail them out of. Why are we still there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still there?

It is becoming clear...



WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA!!!!

No THAT was funny.

D'oh!!!! Now THAT was funny.

Funny thing is that you could probably apply the same logic to Texas and Florida.

LOL! A political thread we can ALL agree on!

It is sad, but damn true, as yesterday we had a teenager kill a California Highway Patrolman, just to be initiated in a gang!

This was done outside of a Court House!

Charlie

Christian, American, Republican, Native Californian...and damned proud of it!

I shudder to think that Hurricane season comes around every single year...and that other natural disaster, snow...

You guys can have it...go ahead, pull out...but I'm staying!!!

San Diego born and raised...............Marla

E- I am with you. Born and raised here and would not want to live anywhere else. You can have your hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, etc. I'll tkae the year around sunshine and occasional earthquake anytime.

Charlie- Do you really think this is the only place that cops get shot?

Yo RDC: U DA Man, very funny and true. However if I was forced to leave Philadelphia I would certainly move to San Diego and no not because Marla lives there hmmm well maybe because Marla lives there hmmmm okay okay because Marla lives there are you happy now ! LOL JonR

😉

I am!

If California was it's own nation it would have the 5th largest GNP in the world. Hmm, maybe it is time...

Lmao this this one, great post.

There is some truth here

E-Chick.. I can handle snow and hurricanes a lot better than the thought of my house falling into a hole in the ground without a moments notice.
And then there is the smog. California Emissions that do nothing to clean the air and waste more fuel and causes premature engine failure. The Hollywood elite, The Bloods and the Crips, High energy cost ie: electric, gasoline, fuel oil
What is regular going for out there now 2.50 a gallon?
No thank you
I will stay in the east and dream of the south (retirement)
Like Galhager said. "California is like a big bowl of granola. What isn't fruits and nuts, is flakes."

Well in defense of my state...Exactly where is Gallagher from? Maybe Canada? Sure isn't from here...He the biggest nut of them all, funny, but nutty.

BTW, did he pass away?

I don't think many of these people are qualified as fruits, nuts or flakes:

And as for the price as fuels? We're all screwed! Heck, I don't even look anymore...if you want/need
it, you'll pay the price. Hasn't effected me...yet...

Smog isn't a big issue where I live...and I thought we have the strictest laws on emissions here...maybe you know something that I don't...

Bloods, Crips, Hollywood Elite....they're all killing themselves off aren't they? Are there any of these types in my neighborhood that I should be frightened of?

Can't live scared...

Would you rather be told of your possible terminal diagnosis, that is inevitably coming around each year...or go in a flash, unexpectedly?

Ok, I'm backing away from the keyboard...

I LOVE following her around here:)

I agree - California's a GREAT place.







To Visit.
LMAO at the original post.

Good One

California is a great state, the geography is fantastic and the weather couldn’t be better.

Liberal laws in California are an excellent example of true democracy, rule by the rabble our founding fathers wanted to avoid.

It would be nirvana if only all the non-natives would GO HOME. This applies especially to the relatives of people that that whine the most about California, time ten for those with relatives in San Francisco or Berkley.
