Compared to The Republic of California, the rest of you live in 'fly over' country
North vs South vs whatever. It all sucks. You people would collapse without California's great abundance of EVERYTHING to keep you afloat.

2. You won't be so smug after California falls into the Mariana Trench. Meanwhile I, having
prudently moved to central North Carolina, will suddenly become the happy owner of valuable beachfront property

23. That's just about right.
See Steve Martin's "LA Story" for genuine insight into this place (well, at least LA).

10. Prop 8 is the result of those assholes in Utah
California should really think about putting up a wall on it's Eastern and Northern borders. In order to get in, you'd have to carry proof you can surf or demonstrate you know that burrito's don't have rice in them.

30. You've got the wrong end of it - we need to tell everyone that it sucks here
Then, they'll leave us alone and we can enjoy our beaches, mountains, deserts, cities, sunshine slovenly overcrowdedness in peace. And we still get to visit all the other interesting places...

28. Left CA in '88 and never looked back. You can keep your traffic, your earthquakes,
and your stupid actor/governors. Cheapskates. Blah....

33. This reminds me of something I saw in fark.com
"People are leaving California because it is
not like the rest of the country.
The rest are staying because it is
not like the rest of the country."
