So I figure I'll return the favor once in awhile..

See, that would make some form of sense if it were a normal occurance on this forum. But so far as I can tell, it's not. Regardless, have you ever stopped to think the ragging on California is a
result of the superior attitude Californians tend to take? That's one of the reasons I rag on Texans, and I live in Texas.

Not really fair IMO, but I guess the high price of gas works wonders for some...lol

Not fair to pay differently for the same job in different industries, but makes perfect sense to pay more for the same job in a different geographical location? Logic fail.
Anyway, the fact that you bring it up
all the time in threads that have nothing to do with inter-state rivalries, like this one, tells me there's some real resentment there. Guess I just don't understand that, given that you could very easily take your mind off all the horrible things people say about California (?) by, I don't know, going to the beach and hanging out with chicks in bikinis...
