"After the Chinese nuke Los Angeles?

Send them a thank you card."

Extremely not amusing. You don't like California; fine, don't live there (I'm relatively sure you don't). But it's part of the United States of America, for crying out loud, no matter how many elements of southern California culture/society/whatever you obviously hate. Real Americans would die in the millions. Talk about anti-American statements. Get a life/clue/lobotomy - something.

FWIW, I do have a sense of humor (if you doubt it, do a search against my login name and the keywords "Timberline Tales"). But joking that it would be OK for China to nuke LA, SF, Seattle, Boston, etc. isn't funny. I'm all for making fun of liberals and liberal cesspools like Berkeley, Boulder, etc. But not nuking major American cities (or even small ones). Given Oklahoma City, 9/11, etc. joking about millions of Americans being wiped out crosses the line.

Not for very much longer.

Its not that I hate California, I have too much fun with it. A little secret here. If California people didn't react to my comments and get so personal I wouln't post a word. My home state( and I see posts everyday) is fair game for insults and I try to respond with a light handed remark. Californies dish it out but they cant take it.
