This is a rebuttal to all the negative posts about the Golden State. For the past few months California bashers went on a "blabbing" rampage indiscriminately painted everyone with a fat brush. Even innocent women and children were not spared. The psychological effect of such stereotype may not yet be realized. I fear damage has already been done. Only time will tell. What surprise me most; I realize quite a few folks on this forum are from California but all were MIA in the malay. I was expecting a positive post by some but "nada". Very disappointing I must say. Perhaps they have given up their "Man Card". Furthermore, under stress, a few have defected to different states and even as far away as Japan 
. <br /><br />As a bashing survivor, I feel an offensive is long over due. The followings should level the playing field. If needed, more may be added at your request. I think this is sufficient.<br /><br />1) California has the 5th largest economy in the world. Without us, the United States would be reduced to just a tad better than a second world country. With 12.4 trillion dollars of purchasing power, we can support the entire mid-west states including a free Dixie Chicks CD/DVD for every man, woman and children. As for you Texans, you can have two because you're special. Needless to say we are your surrogate parents. We contribute so much but yet you don't appreciate us.<br /><br />2) Each year our Colleges and Universities produce more entrepreneurs than any state. We have 9 Universities ranked in the top 50. Two of which in the top 10. A few years ago Cal-Tech and Berkeley ranked one and two respectively. We contribute so much in term of Science and Technology. You repay us by throwing mud pies and say we lack morals yet you want to be like us.<br /><br />3) We are the sole provider for your daily entertainments. When you flip on a show for your family to enjoy on a sunday afternoon, the program was made here. Late at night, after the kids are asleep and you tune to a show designated 3 X's, yes that program was made here also. As you can see we got all bases covered for your pleasure. But yet you call us names . You say we are extreme.<br /><br />4) Yes we are extreme. We ride big boats. We drive big cars. We live in big houses and we like big B**bs. Our women are hot and in some area the "men are even hotter". The folks from frisco can testify to this. Hold on folks, notice the quotation marks. Don't get any wrong idea. <br /><br />All in all how does your state stack up?
