I’m a proud Southerner.
In my lifetime, I’ve had the “pleasure” of meeting a few “native” Californians who felt the need to passively inform me of how California was superior to the South.
As I’ve grown, I have come to realize that California is without a doubt the “dumbest” state in the Union....
LOL
Couple years back, met a new fellow on the job. Said he was from California, couldn’t work at “home” so he came to Alaska - stood out with a real dark tan.
I told him that califlowers weren’t real well liked due to their constant “well, in CA we...” stories.
Told him the better story was to tell folks he moved in from Thailand, where he had run a (mumble mumble) bath house. That way he would be quickly accepted as a former small business owner.
When I went to Navy bootcamp in San Diego 48 years ago California really was a great place to live but I met young men from all over the country and those who were from Detroit seemed to be especially proud, looking down their noses at a poor boy who grew up in South Carolina. Gee, ain’t it funny how time slips away?
Ya sure that isn't your own insecurity?
The biggest braggadocios people I have ever run into are not from California, but from Texas.
That being said, I don't know about being superior, but even in a terrible bad economy, California, which is basically run by liberals, has nearly twice the economy of Texas...
Just to put things in perspective..
By the way, year around top shelf weather is worth a foutune to us, with year-around Mediterranean style climate,....Well...compared to the south, California is totally superior...
