    That's the opposite of welcoming. "I only want you here if I perceive benefit."

    Would that make this a good time to buy a beach condo?

    No, because it is going to get worse in California. Besides, the ocean along California is like 58 degrees. At least buy where you can go in the water.

    Kind of like how you should have stayed in backwoods Arkansas?

    Whatever, I assume you know what whatever means these days. Whatever you. You should have stayed wherever you came from. You have pissed off most everyone on this board, just like you did on the Skyscraper forum. You made everyone sick of Oklahoma on that forum and left them hating Oklahoma, so, let me repeat, Whatever you.

    I've been in the water in the San Diego area. It was fine.

    LOL. People here balk at $200 ft. Being "down" at Newport Beach, Laguna, etc. still means it is two or three times OKC prices.

    I think it's like a sale at Neimans or Nordstrom's. Discounted 35-40% off of what?

    Until you die of hypothermia.

    BTW - water temp today (hottest month of the year) in San Diego is 63 to 66 degrees. Without a wet suit you could be dead in about 2 hours. That would ruin a day at the beach.

    Anyhow -we got way off topic.

    It's still nice on a good summer day. I love going to Santa Monica, CA (LA Area). Nice 76 degree air, nice cool water. Go for a 5 minute swim, then lay on the beach and let the sun warm you up. Nice stuff; 20 minutes is about the most you can stand anyway, no one sits and bobs in the waves for 2 hours anyway. Going to the beach means getting wet and then laying down on the sand. 30 minutes of bobbing in the waves will make you sick to your stomach anyway.

    Glad to see we're living up to that "big friendly" image.

    The last time I was in Southern California, I had someone show me around the grocery store to find the stuff I was looking for, someone else helped me find my way in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and had some locals buy us some drinks when they found out we were visiting from out of town. However, in Oklahoma when some well educated, well employed Californians may be MOVING here, we have people wanting to tell them to go back to the land of fruits and nuts.

    Lesson: there are a-holes and nice people everywhere.

    Stay classy Oklahoma!

    Well alrighty then..

    Everyone say "Aye" if you're pissed off with me. On a side note, in a few more posts from SOONER8693, we'll need to get a Hall of Fame to stick this thread in.

    I am not pissed off at you sparky, but I do feel sorry for you. You must have had a very lonely childhood.

    So why do you feel sorry for me, Popsy?

    I hardly even said anything in this thread, ironically.

    Hey SOONER8693, you should get your friends at the Westboro Baptist Church to come picket the 500 new high-paying engineer jobs that Boeing is bringing to OKC. Be sure and start making your anti-Cali "fruits and nuts" (aka high-paying engineer jobs) signs in advance.

    Wow. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I don't see how Oklahoma would fare any better with Mensa candidates Ernest Istook and Mary Fallin. Geez.

    I left California for good in 1990 (at the age of 20) because I could see the train wreck coming. Smartest thing I ever did. It was interesting to read the comments from the California perspective. There was only 1 negative comment about Oklahoma and the rest seemed to be from people that now understand the problems California is facing. The only problem is they woke-up too late to do anything about it. The demise of California was decades in the making and the coming collapse has a lot of momentum behind it.

    Saying you left Cali because you could see the train wreck coming is like saying you left Oklahoma because of right-wing politics. Come on, what happens in state capitols across America is a farce, and fortunately, has very little impact on people's actual lives...

    I imagine I could easily live a decent life in Cali as long as I could find a decent job, and completely tune out the political mess, scandals, and financial collapse.

    Tell the people of California that actions in Sacramento aren't having an impact on their lives. They seem to think it does. Did you read the comments on the link provided above? I'm pretty sure they are blamming Sacramento for creating an anti-business environment.
