I guess the large population of people who can’t speak English could be irritating to people. That usually doesn’t bother me though, I love CA.
You would bring something like that up.
Is he wrong? Some people are definitely irritated by that. He didn’t say it irritates him, in fact he said it doesn’t.
It’s a pretty fucking stupid thing to get irritated by.
I make fun of California because they send all their crappy drivers over here to stink up the roads.
But to be totally fair, I’ve always enjoyed my time there and will likely eventually end up living there myself in the near future.
Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Well sure, but no one is debating that (yet). I don’t have any idea why Warb felt it necessary to call out mfm for simply pointing out that there are people who don’t like it.
Here’s a good reason to avoid California: earthquakes.
There are quake faults all over the country and the world. Washington DC got hit by one a few years back, and the Washington Monument had to close for repairs.
And then there’s this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Seismic_ZoneAnd goodness knows what Irwin Allen wet dream all the byproducts of fracking activity might unleash eventually.
Another California myth people seem to buy into is the entire state would somehow fall into the ocean when the big one hits. And this was before the silly disaster movies of recent vintage.
Yes, I remember the one that damaged the Washington Monument. It was felt in my area. I posted about it on the forum the day it happened.
Maybe it is a myth that the entire state would fall into the ocean, but I don’t think it is myth that scientists fear “the big one” might hit California sometime soon.
It has a Gini coefficient of 0.471, ranked #44 in the United States and the same as the Dominican Republic.
Gini coefficient???
I had never heard of it either, but there’s this amazing new thing called Google that helped me out.

Is the number of people in California that can’t speak English really that high? Also there are those that can’t speak English in other states as well.

8.4% per a 2011 survey, which is tied for second with Mississippi (which I would not have guessed) and only behind Texas.
Also there are those that can’t speak English in other states as well.
You’ve missed the point much like Impscum did.

Which is why new structures have to meet strict standards out here, and older ones have to be retrofitted. The 1994 Northridge Quake gave scientists a lot of new data on how certain structures fail.
Where were you in '77?
There’s a couple great songs, but overall it lacks the energy and enthusiasm of previous blink-182 albums.

What’s the opposite of “/thread”?

Will any of this structures be able to stand up to “the bid one”?
While on a road trip driving from San Diego all the way up I-5, I composed this letter to Governor Schwarzenegger (it was several years back), in my best cranky old guy voice.
Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,
I am currently having a very serious problem with your state. I got up at the crack of dawn this morning and started driving north through your state. I continued driving north throughout the day and now it is nighttime again. And I am still in your state. Do you see the problem, Governor? Your state is far too big. Unacceptably big. Now I get it, you can’t just shrink a state, I’m not an idiot, but surely you can do something about the shape. East-west travel through your state is fine–it’s only north-south travel with this problem. I recommend simply using a far more sensible shape, like the ones employed by Colorado and Wyoming, keeping the size more or less the same. That way, I could actually get out of your state within a day, which is something I’m sure you’d agree I should be able to do.
Yours truly,
CatBus
Hey! At least we’re not Rhode Island! 😉

Let’s not start dissing on RI now…
It’s only a matter of time you might as well accept it
Better RI than the state that usually the butt of the jokes.

Sorry, it’s therapeutic for family reasons. And Family Guy has done more harm to RI than I ever could.

Not sure what you’re talking about.
Unrelated, I do have to say, of all the states, boy is New Jersey a shit hole.

Well I think MacFarlane is actually coming from a place of love in that regard.
Ok Handman, I see you’re back, time to answer the question.
