Would you rather live in California or Georgia

[Imran Siddiqui]

That's why you should back states' rights .

California manages to get quite a bit done that it wants... just not on the national level... but it has plenty of power over its own state.

[MRT144]

I DO BACK STATES RIGHTS! High Five!

[monolith94]

Id just like to reinforce the fact that neither Georgia NOR California have reliably good Italian food.

Amount and quality of ethnic food is lacking? LOL I can go half an hour from my apartment and hit dozens of cuisines, from Vietnamese to Ethopian to Lebanese to Greek to Mexican. You name it, it's close by.

And like I said, can't come close in BBQ. That is God's gif to humans. The best food EVER is slow cooked BBQ ribs. Whoever makes them best makes the best food in the world, that simple .

I never have to leave town.

As I live in San Jose I will obviously choose Cali, we have better weather and wemen and more stuff to do. I can drive To Oakland, San Francisco Lake Tahoe, Beaches, Sking, Forests, Deserts, Indian Casinos and just about anythying you could want within two hours. But the quality of the character of the people that live here is very low. Georgia has the same problem ie lousy people, I know from experiance.

ESSJ Forever!

[Victor Galis]

Well let's just say it's summer vacation. I had precisely this choice. Guess where I am?

[Victor Galis]

While Atlanta may have progressed past the fetid hellhole stage, it's certainly not got anything on San Francisco.

I refuse to vote in this poll. neither. I'd rather die.

On a side note they are trying to recall Gov. Gray Davis.

He has been called the worst governor in the history of the U.S. in any state in any time.

[Dis]

I have to go with California because it can be a very beautiful state and Georgia is butt-ugly.

But I'd have to figure out a way to not pay state taxes such as income and sales taxes, and tune out liberal idiots like Gray Davis.

my vote goes with California

[Q Classic]

hm..

i just realized i made a mistake on my last post.

i like georgia, illinois is better is what i meant to write.

california sucks balls, imho.

the only reason you have civil rights leaders is to compensate for the over the top racism of the state. california had no need for civil rights leaders because civil rights were never a horrible issue for the state.

So, I guess the Watts riots were about solidarity among the proletariat? And, of course, Rodney King and the LAPD have shown the world what a racially harmonious place Cali is.



So, what is the purpose of this thread? To bash on a state where you have (obviously) never been?

You know, this absolutely makes no sense.

the thing that i believe is, california offers everything any other state could, and more. to me georgia might as well be alabama, but there is only one california.

While California is one of the more "premiere" states in the union, the fact remains that Cali will always have NY to look up to.

[Q Classic]

actually, when i think of good things on the west coast, i think of seattle and portland. california seems to be missing from that...

I never have to leave town.

that's rich. california, right? you are well aware that atlanta, like all the cities in california, is a prime example of the sunbelt cities. while technically imran driving thirty minutes would get him across three or four different municipalities, the scale of atlanta is as such as two or three of those municipalities are really just extensions of atlanta.

the difference between downtown decatur (one said city) and downtown atlanta is the distance between the magnificent mile and maybe cermack/chinatown in chicago. the difference between where i am (tucker) and downtown atlanta is the distance between the magnificent mile and hyde park.
atlanta's a politically weak city, which is why the traffic problem is an issue, which is why atlanta hasn't incorporated more land, which is why it's only got 300k residents.
imran--nor i--have to "leave town" to get said ethnic foods.
