Los Angeles

[QUOTE="andyboiii"]

[QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"]I'm talking smack about Californian hockey teams because only 1 has ever won a Stanley Cup. Plus I just hate the Chargers. :) DarkPrinceXC

the Chargers are in the playoffs. where are the Bears? I can't find them anywhere

Well i'm from Europe, i've always had in my head that LA was the place to be, for some reason...i'm clearly wrong, lol.TheFragcat

I'm the same way.

[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"][QUOTE="Sajedene"] I love how people equate Los Angeles to the rest of California. San Francisco, Sacramento, Bakersfield, San Diego, Orange, all completely different places. But if were talking about how California is everything ... being that it is the richest state (more rich than most countries in the world) and has practically everything (except water -- that is until we properly convert the ocean water to drinkable water) -- yeah I have legitimate bragging rights about my state and the city I live in. helium_flash

California, on the whole, is just awesome. Oh ya, and the rest of the world doesnt really consider us the US. I got to Europe, people are like "Are you American?" all surly and Im like "No, I am Californian" and theyre like "Oh, ok" all cheerful like lol.

Haha, so true. I too am from California, and what can I say, and I don't know, guess you just pick up on "stateism". After three horrible years of living in rainy Washington, you come to appreciate California even more. What's not to like? Warm, large, variety of cites, beaches, mountains with snow, lakes, attractions, whatever you want. Whoops, I was being a Californian elitest. :P

Anyway, as far as L.A. goes, I just don't like the place. It's far too big, ugly, gray, and has traffic all the time. Something just doesn't do it for me. Some of the suburban areas are a little nicer, but a lot of L.A. doesn't appeal to me.

[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"][QUOTE="helium_flash"]Not to mention the self-centered media-obsessed people who think California is everything.Sajedene

You dont have to be self-centered or media-obsessed to love your own state and think its the best.

The richest state?!? You do know that your governor came out and said your state needs a bailout to continue governmental operations, right???

[QUOTE="Yosemine"][QUOTE="helium_flash"]Wow. And these people are trying to say that Californians aren't elitists.Sajedene

[QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"][QUOTE="Sajedene"] That's whats awesome about the state too -- if you don't like one area because it doesn't offer what you are looking for, the most you need to do is take at most a 2 hour flight (or an 9 hour drive) to find what it is you are looking for.Sajedene

[QUOTE="Sajedene"][QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"] What I'm looking for right now is about a 4 hour flight from San Diego. :) DarkPrinceXC

LA isn't the only city with homeless people;)

Pollution is much worse in other countries. China for example

the rolex under the trenchcoat, um yeah that's never happened to me and i've been in LA for 20 years ;)

spoiled rich people? the majority who live in LA aren't rich buddy. I think you're thinking about Conneticut ;)

whats so good about philly?UNHOLY_basic

I like everything about it. All of the different sections of Philly have something different to offer. I love the history of the place as well. Also, you can't beat a nice walk down South Street. I could spend days looking around there. Basically, I just find the whole city to be incredibly interesting.

[QUOTE="trickmyster13"][QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"] Traffic sucks and there's way too many people in NYC. Plus I hate their accents.DarkPrinceXC

[QUOTE="DarkPrinceXC"][QUOTE="trickmyster13"] Yea who can hate that nasally ChiCAAAgo accent.helium_flash
