I know you've seen the ads- your travel agent or that university recruiter has filled your head with images of beaches, palm trees, forests and a night life that's second to none. You need to ask yourself one question: why would they put so much effort into creating that image? Do you know of any other state that is so heavily marketed as a place you should go other than California?
Thought so.
The culture here is defined by belligerence, ignorance, narcissism, and apathy. If you ever leave the big cities, be prepared to be surrounded by inbred, racist/sexist, psycho-christian hillbillies. You heard me right- there are massive amounts of trailer trash hicks everywhere you go, they've just become good at hiding it.
And while you're stuck on the 10, 101, 215, 91, or the 60 Freeways with a raised up Bro-truck tailgating you all the way to work, surrounded by industry, warehouses, smog, boarded up buildings, graffiti, and strip malls, you will attempt to replace what you are actually seeing with what you *thought* you should be seeing.
California is a LIE. It's a dreamworld that doesn't exist. Oh, and trying to find a job here is next to impossible. Right now, we have the highest unemployment. Same thing with teen pregnancy rates.
Yeah, I'm some asshole on the internet, but I'd give anything to save another person out there who reads this the time, toil, trouble, and inevitable misery that will come from believing the "California Dream".

Palm trees and beaches? My apartment got broken into 3 times, that pot-bellied, white, middle-aged douchebag broke a window on my car because i asked him to quiet down in the theatre, and I now have lung cancer from the smog.
Thanks California!
Thanks California!

California is a part of the United States on the west coast. Im not a conservative or a republican dumbass. I am a liberal but I still cant stand this fucking state, especially San Diego county. The place is full of primarily a whole bunch of douchebags who think that they are all the shit, but in reality are just sheep and fucking preps. The weather is too damn hot, and the beaches are too fucking cold, and tend to be filled with sewage. The governator is also a dumbfuck. The State is terrible for the most part, and is full of artificial, mindless, dumb fucks, and the worst part of it all is that everybody else thinks its the best place on the planet.
Goddamnit, California sucks, im almost glad my county is burning down, dont come here, and help me get outta here as soon as possible.

A mythical land depicted in movies, television shows, and other fictional works of the middle 20th century. Seems to have been located in upper Latin America. Was peopled by exuberant, attractive "white persons," a type thought once to have been widespread in the area.
California was consistently represented as prosperous, but this is strictly notional. Present-day inhabitants of the area have found it to be without economic resources.
Compare "Shangri-La."

She: -- Are you sure?
He: ... Pretty sure.

California- On the West Coast. Home to the Los Angeles Lakers, the San Fransisco 49ers and the Sacramento Kings. "The land of fruits and nuts-literally." This quote, which my grandmother says all the time, refers to the large homosexual population of California.

California was one of the best place in America, if not the world, still is. Ever since Grey Davis was in, he had approved abundant of funding that were what lead us to here today. We got used to the huge amount of funding from the state, and hereafter we do not wish to lose them. With the enormous amount of debts that California is finally in, we still would not like to have some of the funding to be cut and taxes not to be raised.
Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be judged for not doing anything. He had no choice but to cut funding to make up the small proportions of the debts that we owe. Most of the Californians do not wish to have the taxes increase and eliminate some of the funding; the people in the Sacramento will not be able to do anything.
California once again become proper and free of debt. Good luck to the troops in oversea. George W. Bush needs to start thinking of a way to help United States than sending our beloved troops out to save other lives. God blesses America and the World.

Steven: There is still hope for California.
Keith: I love California, the beaches, etc.
Arnold: We are in serious trouble...no raising taxes, no cutting funding. What the hell am I suppose to do?
Davis: Keep passing the bills!
G Bush: Next up on, Canada. Oh wait...shhh....

Overall A great state with lots of things to do, diverse scenery and people, usually laid back. However some Californians tend to have a superiority complex when visiting or talking about other states, and may verbalize this by saying things like..."What's in Idaho?, What's in Kansas?, This place sucks, etc." without realizing other states have great
things to offer as well.
things to offer as well.
1. "I cant wait tell I get back to California, this place sucks."
2. "Why would anyone want to live in Oklahoma?"
