There are more people in California than there are in Canada.

[Bicoastal]

Cool, huh?

[XemaSab]

1. 1/10 people in the US

live in Southern California. :scared:

[Tektonik]

4. Another tenth of our population fled LA and moved to AZ and Nevada

:o

[Angleae]

10. Not just AZ & NV

Washington too, I'm one of them.

[LeftyMom]

2. And it seems like they're all on the freeway when I'm in a hurry.

[nomorenomore08]

3. And yet, the state's population density is still rather low.

I mean, there are counties here with only 2-3 people per square mile. (example: Inyo County - 17,000 people/10,000 sq mi)

[Tektonik]

5. We definitely don't need more people to be in the shitholes of CA

Please, please, please no more people in Victorville, Ukiah, or Baker.

[XemaSab]

6. You think Ukiah is one of the shitholes?

I can think of 50 towns in 50 counties WAY worse than Ukiah...

Crescent City, Alturas, Tulelake, Willits, Fortuna, Hayfork, Anderson, Red Bluff, Westlake, Loyalton, Susanville... you want me to keep going? :shrug:

[Tektonik]

8. Keep going

It'll be a warning for all.

Is Chico one of those shitholes? :D How about Paradise?

[XemaSab]

9. Okay:

Crescent City, Alturas, Tulelake, Willits, Fortuna, Hayfork, Anderson, Red Bluff, Westlake, Loyalton, Susanville...

Oroville, Marysville, Yuba City, Orland, Grimes, Clearlake, Galt, Stockton...

Okay, I'm bored. You get my point.

16. Have you ever been to Crockett?

I lived there for a few months, long ago....

[Gormy Cuss]

23. It's a sweet little town

if you like the smell of the sugar refinery that is.

Crockett is still a little out of the way town but it has a destination restaurant now.

[old mark]

27. Yeah! It had that huge sugar mill and about a dozen bars....

I don't recall any other businesses there.
There was a place called Rose's U & I Oasis that had a poker game in back....

21. Victorville is a shit hole. So glad I got out of there.

[SidneyCarton]

25. Oh come on, no one actually lives in Baker...

People are just paid to stay there and entertain the tourists. :hide:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Hey, I have a soft spot for Baker

When I was 10, we stopped there for gas on the way back home from Arkansas. I got a bag o' Laura Scudder BBQ chips and a Coke and was in hawg heaven. :)

[rcrush]

7. When do we invade?

[old mark]

11. And how long would it take them to notice? nt

[kwassa]

12. and the GDP of Los Angeles County is greater than the GDP of Mexico

at least, it used to be that way.

They may not have taken drug sales into account, however.

[arcadian]

13. the human head weighs eight pounds

n/t

[old mark]

15. So if we are talking about all those Canadian heads.....nt

[no name no slogan]

14. One wonders if Ahnold was tasked with bankrupting California on purpose.

Considering he's Republican, California has long been a thorn in Republican's thick hides, and that he is rumored to have met with Enron prior to their pre-planned phony power crisis (and Enron being huge Bush donors).

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. That whole recall thing.....I can't get over it....

They--Republicans--manufacture a crisis to get rid of a governor, and replace him with a governor who actually lets the state fall into an actual crisis.

Sheeeeeeeiiiiiitttt. And they say us Floridians are fucked up?

[begin_within]

20. Yes, the whole recall thing and Schwarzenegger's reign is a giant embarassment

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. Their plan is to destroy the middle class and unions, create cheap, scared, disposable labor,

a land of rentals (not ownership), and a two-tier economy (extremely rich and very poor), with them at the top. "Imelda Marcos".

They walk with trillions on our tab; we suffer, they laugh.

Working quite well so far.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Which obviously means Californians are more important and complete human beings than Canadians.

Duh.

[begin_within]

19. Well, one reason there are so many people here is

the variety of scenery

[kentauros]

28. So how does that explain why

there is almost more people in the single city of Tokyo than the entire state of California, or the entire country of Canada? :P

[begin_within]

29. Well, one reason may be
