What’s Driving California’s Mass Exodus?

HugeJerk says...

I keep hearing about how everyone is leaving California, yet more and more housing is being built in my area. Tons of "Luxury" condo's in the Orange, Anaheim, Santa Ana area has been going up over the last decade.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Very interesting, it's been a while since I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim, but I have to say that I would probably prefer the 70s cheesy scifi styling that was there last time I was.

Blue Man Group - The Forge

ant says...

When and where did you see it? I saw it on 1/13/2001 @ 7 PM PST in Luxor, Sin City, and its MegaStar Tour in Honda/Anaheim Center (years later).

Love me some Blue Man Group.

Great music, great funny / bizarre audience interaction stuff at shows.

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

lucky760 says...

Negative, chief.

1) If you turn up the volume and listen closely, you can hear him change gears right before he starts accelerating. Are you really claiming it's not possible for a big-rig to change to a higher gear and put their foot down on the gas in a way that it would increase its speed?

2) The Nissan in front of him wasn't slowing down.

3) From all my years as a rambling man in the trucking game hauling loads down winding roads from Anaheim to New Orleans, truckers know full well how to teach a blonde bitch a lesson usually with the voice of CB Savage (look it up) in the back of their mind. If he wasn't trying to scare or collide, he could have slowed to prevent the accident. Unless you're saying big-rigs are also not capable of slowing down.

I love how passionate everybody is about debating traffic. How cute we all are.

Shepppard said:

You probably should, as the issue of him intentionally closing the gap is addressed numerous times by the fact that this isn't a pickup truck, it's a semi, which is incapable of speeding up that quickly to intentionally block the person trying to merge, and if you pay closer attention to the cars ahead of the truck, it looks more like the gap was closed from the front, not behind (traffic looks to be slowing down as it nears the top of a hill)

Dodger Player Plays Catch With Young Fan

The kid has a pretty good arm, he should try out for the Anaheim Angels.

I think you mean the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. (That's how the team was able to put Los Angeles back in the name without breaking their contract with Anaheim.)

I guess it's a good marketing thing (for name recognition?) to be associated with LA even though you're not actually located there. I think Anaheim is a better association because Disneyland is there and it's not quite as filthy as LA.

If a protest involves hordes of people marching in the street, blocking traffic and generally being loud and annoying, I don't really consider that "peaceful." It may not be violent but it's entirely disruptive and hinders people's ability to get where they need to go and do what they need to do.
You can try and justify the disruption by saying that it's the only way to get attention but really, you would only say that if you agreed with the protestors. If a bunch of people marched on the streets because the MSRP of Twinkies was raised by 5 cents, would that protest still be "justified"? A disruption is a disruption, regardless of motivation. If the protestors in the video had permits and conducted their activity in a genuinely peaceful manner, I seriously doubt there would have been any police intervention.

You only see what you want to see. The only people being disruptive and blocking traffic in this video are the cops and their fucking horses.
And who said you have a right to life without "disruption" anyway? You gonna call the police when that asshole won't stop talking in the movie theater? You going to just keep your mouth shut and walk away peacefully when that cashier overcharges you for your Twinkies? Maybe your idea of protest is standing quietly on some street corner, permit in pocket, holding a sign. It's not my idea of protest (not any more), and if disruptions bother you, stay home and veg on VS all day. Just remember to be quiet and keep your opinions to yourself, because I feel they are disruptive, and they bother me.


Flawed analogies. If you're telling someone to quiet down in a theater, you are directly addressing the person you take issue with. If you tell a cashier that he overcharged you, same deal. Nobody aside from the people directly responsible for your grievances are affected. Conversely, when you block traffic so you can protest against police brutality, who are you actually affecting? The cops will show up and do what they get paid to do. Bystanders, on the other hand, get screwed.

If you want to protest police brutality, do it where only police are affected. Like a police station. Don't do it in the middle of a business area where you're just impeding people's ability to live their lives. If you're so self-centered that you're willing to promote your agenda at the expense of everyone else, don't surprised when people get irritated. And when these people have body armor, guns, tazers, tear gas, pepper spray, riot shields, etc, things probably won't end well for you.

Why do I always have to be the adult here?
In a large city like Anaheim you undoubtedly need a permit to march, which these people probably did not have, so therefore the demonstration is unlawful, and highly irritating to the people who work for a living and have to drive back and forth to work, the store, the childcare, the doctor, etc.
And the cops have to deal with people who are anarchists or just drones, and it's hard to tell them apart, especially when they hide behind anonymous avatars and say things like "KILL PIGS".


I'd argue that you're being immature, rather than adult.

Adults question bullshit. Kids swallow whatever they're told and indeed adopt it for themselves. Your government has managed to get you to help opress your fellow citizen.

I'm not sure whether I should upvote for awareness or downvote the conduct of the officers...
I keep arguing that all people who are in marches should have their placards on, at least, 7 foot poles with a sharp point. So they bring in the horses or do cavalry charges? Say hello to my pike wall and enjoy sticking around.

Yeah, that's a sensible solution that won't have any negative consequences.


Killing horses isn't the same as killing humans. For one thing, horses stop.

In reply to this comment by redyellowblue:
The Mil-Po-po are just twitching to use all that gear they bought, all those armors, and guns, and trucks, and tactics. Any excuse to use that and see some action probably gets them pumped up. Unfortunately its just going to get worse and worse the more gagets they get. Ever look at a Gun magazine lately? Its full of "Tactical porn" and I bet every officer "wants" to be that guy with armor and cool looking guns, american flags and eagles, with scopes and knives and gasmasks. All that slick machined metal crafted to destroy your opposition.


Lol. So true. I collect knives, and I assure you it's not just a police mentality. Go watch knife reviews on YouTube. So many reviewers/commenters discussing the "tactical" positives and negatives of particular knives, as if any of them will EVER find themselves in a situation where "tip-up" or "tip-down" will make one bit of difference. And if they should find themselves in that sort of situation, the vast, VAST majority of them would do best by running away, and spare themselves from getting killed or having their own knife shoved up their ass.

"Tactical porn" is exactly what it is, and it sells lots of gear to civilians as well as police.
