Let me get this straight: a black woman commits a hate crime but because she's black, it's a slap on the wrist (despite the disruptive outrage/backlash)? You're redirecting the blame to hip-hop music? Really? Double standards will doom thus country. Also, what kind of a moron makes fun of Asians in Irvine, California? If you're not Asian, YOU'RE the minority there. They don't nickname UCI the "University of Chinese Immigrants" because of its ethnic diversity.  View

There is another side to this besides the benefits argument. There is also the conservative argument in which we look back to what this country was founded on. There are some that say that marriage is between a man and a woman and it has been the standard for over 200 years and set by the founding fathers. So the question is do we draw a line and say this is it, this is the morel platform that this nation will set period, and if you don't like it "move." I know my words are harsh but if we don't come to an understanding in a few years we are going to see states such as California for example start to succeed from the U.S.  View

Didn't see this coming, lol. She's the prototype of what many term "GoldDigger". California is the worse place in America to get divorced. He might as well just give her everything, and spare himself everything plus legal fees. The Red Roof Inn will be Kobe's new home. If he balled for the love of the game, that's over and done with. He's gonna play just to be poor. But it was fun while it lasted. I hope he got his moneys worth. I think she owes him not one but two pounds of flesh, lol.  View

Hmmm... I wonder WHO's complaining, and WHY they're complaining. I - as a consumer - have no reason to complain: I'm going to be upset if I can SAVE MONEY?!?! Uh, no. As far as the $5 California tax thing, that is their problem (if it is), and not mine (I'm a NYC'er. We pay taxes up the wazoo).  View

Having lived in southern California and witnessed the bad smog of the 80's, I can say the pictures they show are unbelievable. China is a major polluter of the environment and makes other countries look great by comparison.  View

My thought is that it is weird to think Big Bog Retailers would get into this, yet up and down California, there are many Small cities with nothing but a Wal-Mart , you would have to travel to receive care, thus allowing me to think that a world with more options is better than a world with less options, and what of Wal-Mart , they may actually lower healthcare costs ,, and if anyone thinks Lower Costs of Healthcare are bad, the please explain to me why lowering costs is bad. :) (hug)  View

Oklahoma, Colorado, Virginia, & California all experiencing more than usual increase in the number of earthquakes within this year alone. Its all a sign that 2012 is no laughing matter.  View

If the straw polls mean anything, it's that people aren't showing excitement for any one candidate. Bachmann won Iowa, Paul won California, Cain in Florida and Romney in Michigan; these are just to name a few. These victories really reflect the brand of Republican politics in each state. I'm still really surprised Cain managed to trounce Perry.  View

With the vaccination issue in public schools and with religious freedoms curtailed, many people in California are turning to home schooling their children. As an example: "Plano Home School Academy" and "North Texas Academy" offer an Accredited Distance Learning Home School Program for Grades 4-12 and Adults. Students earn their High School diploma from home. North Texas Acadmy is Affordable. Founded in 1992. Enrolling year round.  View

The entire state of California is not evil because one county fined this family for having so many cars on that block during their bible study days. Orange county is MUCH more conservative than further north California. So, please research before you say such sweeping generalizations if you don't live here especially.  View
