Petition to split CA into 6 states gets green light (1 Viewer)

Also I think it was the northern counties that wanted to break off into Jefferson, which was an idea when the state was first being created - now apparently someone wants to break up the whole state.

Why not just give Jefferson a shot?

 
Can we just saw off California and watch it float away into the pacific.....
Yeah, its not like Google, Facebook, TimeWarner, or Cisco add anything to the country.
How could we live without these?
You also want to lose the valley and all of the "intellectual property" that originates from there?
China has an entire copy. We're covered.
China is NOT bothering to copy all the "intellectual property" originating in the San Fernando Valley.
The NSA has the rest. That'll make it harder to get to after California floats away, but they'll come around and share it when they realize they can't update their Facebook status.
Have you ever met anyone that works for the NSA? Do you really want them in charge of creating new pr0n?

Smog, illegals, high cost of living, traffic, liberal yo-yo's, crime...I can be here all fcking day!
The smog isn't bad at all anymore, thanks to clean air laws enacted by our liberal yo-yos. The illegal immigrants perform innumerable services and are a major positive for the state. The high cost of living is because so many people want to live here. Same for traffic. Crime isn't bad at all. Sounds like you got nothing.

Not sure a saw would be the best tool to removing a huge land mass like California. Also, I'm not a geologist but I don't think it would float off anywhere.

The NSA won't create anything. They'll just restore the servers to the DR site. New pr0n will probably be created out of Athens, Georgia going forward. Although Austin, TX will give it some good competition.

 
Like most of the country, the urban areas of California are liberal and the rural areas are conservative. The rural areas are also poor and could never afford the debt service of their proportion of California debts, so this will never happen.
That would be the biggest issue, IMO, is how the debt is apportioned. What is the debt load on a per capita basis right now?

 
I say we just tax dudes like Linus Marr more, in order to pay for California's debt. Slap a federal gun tax on their asses, and divert all the monies to California to pay for our illegals and free transgender operations.

That's fairly irrelevant. No way areas like Stockton or Bakersfield could afford their per capita shares. Hell, until Detroit went #### up Stockton was the largest city in the country to declare bankruptcy.

I've seen softballs tossed in a manner guaranteed to be hit out of the park, and I've seen the pitcher just miss the mark and the hitter crush it. But this, this is a new phenominon I have not seen. Thing looks like a fricken beach ball just standing there screaming hit me.

It was the description in addition to the point.

I get taxed plenty every two weeks to make up for all the no-loads but thanks anyway Tim

Strike!
Oh laugh at yourself. I made a funny.

I really don't care about California at all but this idea needs to die. These moronic people in our day and age of instant gratification that want to seceed and form new states all for the sole purpose of trying to get their way in national or even state policy are children, with childish attitudes that deserve nothing close to respect for their ridiculous ideas.

And even more to the point, if this works, then New Jersey is next and I will be damned if I have to pay yet another fricken toll to go to the new state of North Jersey to go to court or see my family.

Wrong

The illegal immigrants perform innumerable services and are a major positive for the state.
True. But they are also major contributors to the illegal Heroin trade and the violence that comes along with it. The gang problem in CA is still a growing problem as well.

. Same for traffic.
Traffic is a much bigger problem than it should be due to poor planning and the fact that the liberal yo-yos mentioned earlier insist that highway expansion won't ease congestion.

.

Crime isn't bad at all.
Keep telling yourself that Opie.Would also add that the school system is horrible and that the growing burden of CALPERS is going to bankrupt every municipality in the state eventually.

Sounds like you got nothing.

Let Tim live in his happy bubble lol

 
My happy bubble is awesome. I'm going to Balboa Island this weekend. That's in Newport Beach. I will walk on the beach and at the Marina, eat delicious food, ride the ferris wheel with my kids, enjoy the sunshine on the water. Maybe we'll go to a jazz club later or listen to a little live blues.

Paradise on Earth.

I don't know how people can live there, knowing the Big One is pretty much a certainty.
I wonder this too. Isn't it like a 90+% chance to happen in the next 20 years?

 
For those of you who don't like Caiifornia, what is it about us you don't like?
All I know is Southern CA....too densely populated, ridiculously expensive to live, horrible traffic...its a friggin rat race. My dad lives in Orange, and I have friends near Westminster/Fountain Valley/Huntington Beach. Its nice to visit but no way in hell would in live there. Last time I was there it took forever to drive anywhere, the streets were always jam packed with cars. Here in FL I can drive 30 miles in 45 minutes (or 25 minutes on the interstate). When I drove in CA, I could never get 10 miles in that amount of time. Just brutal.

Yet you spend hours here every day.

On my iPhone. I'm all over the place.
 
Tim, please shut the fuck up. And don't post here when you're out and about. Take your dumb face out of your phone.

Other stuff:

1) this is a dumb idea

2) CA has a myriad of problems. And assets.

3) I'm all for other parts of the country contributing pr0n

4) this thread is stupid

 
As a person who makes a living by creating and selling maps, I'm all-for millions of maps around the planet needing to be updated in apps, schools, books, et al. [pinky-to-cheek] :devil:
