So as a California father of three girls you are saying the same about me? No? Then why don't you think before you say really stupid stuff you moron. And this coming from a person from New York? Shall I take the time to dig up a dozen stories about "fruits and nuts" from your state? Or just the irresponsible parents?
Let’s just say it has similar connotations as “a NY politician”.
And neither state is doing anything to dispel those connotations.
Eventually, all it will take to bring up those connotations is to say “California” or “New York”, and people will nod.
Look up craziness in GA while you’re at it. Nothing wrong with admitting that you are the exception there, NOT the rule. Californians are known to be “out there” in culture and morals.
