The guy in the piece is a convincing Oakland native.
No, he is NOT! He is one guy. He could've even been paid to say that. He's not convincing at all.
Interview dozens... interview hundreds... interview thousands, then you'll get real perspective.

Lived there and left , over priced , over taxed , better places to live !
Your profile says Florida. You moved from California to Florida? A better place to live?
What makes it better? Is it the hurricanes? The crazies? The lunatic governor? The humidity? Mosquitoes the size of your fist? The higher murder rate? Banned books? The featureless landscape? Palmetto bugs? Sink holes?

Contradiction isn't argument.
One person out of a few hundred thousand is just that - only one person, and not indicative of most.
Quote by ElCoco
The future of shopping in some of America’s cities will eventually evolve into the Soviet model of paying a clerk first at one counter, then waiting for your goods to be delivered at the next counter. Shoppers won’t be allowed near any of the merchandise. But that’s what happens when you elect Soviet-minded politicians.
Our remaining advantage over the Soviet model is that enough of America still works that there are goods behind the counter.
Okay, this guy's Russian propaganda is funny, entertaining. Oh no, America is in a depression!!!!!!! Oh no!!! But what he did best was pretending to be a woman to seduce young Ironic, and not only succeed, but have ironic in his pocket.. Ironic defends, ironic defends no matter what. ElCoco is the big spoon.
Very sus.

Welcome to Los Angeles
Can you afford to visit Southern California?
When was the last time you were here?

Several US catalog and showroom companies did that up until the internet offered them the chance to do that online.
Pay first, and wait for your package to arrive. Plus shipping fees.

Hmmm... California is not ranked in the Top 10 most dangerous states. But some who post here make it sound like it. But, no, California is not.
Personally, l've never felt unsafe when l go to California.
Quote by Chryses
Perhaps if you were a resident in that fair city, you would know what they know.
Are you suggesting that California is in fact ranked in the top 10 most dangerous states, and only the residents of that fair city know this?

... chuckling ... Did I post anything you can quote that could honestly be interpreted as California is, in fact, ranked in the top 10 most dangerous states, and only the residents of that fair city know this?

in response to Buz' post about California not being in the top 10 of most dangerous states, about then?

Maybe it’s time for Santa Monica to change.
lol you call that attacked? he took a swipe at the guys hat - didn't even look like he made contact. god, i dream of being attacked like that. i've been groped at shows more violently. laughable.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Ironic
That's an example of what bad policy (don't respond. don't react) leads to.
from what the video shows it's a classic act of over-reacting. that shit would have happened to me or you, i doubt there'd be an armed response.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Ironic
That's the problem.
so what's your proposal. one thing to point out there's a problem. thing is, you need to have a solution.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Ironic
You're wrong.
I don't, you don't, nobody needs to have a solution in hand when pointing out a problem.
then what's the point of pointing it out? that's bad. ok. yeah, that's bad. none of my business. you really feel strongly about the issue, then you should probably at least form an opinion on how to address it. stricter laws? more psychological support or shelters for the homeless? i mean, if you're just in here to argue and troll, that's fine, but at least don't pretend that you actually care if you are.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Ironic
Then what's the point of you, me, or anybody pointing out anything they think is a problem?
in here, there really is no point. anyone who thinks anything is going to happen because a bunch of people post politcal shit on an erotic story site is delusional. you want actual change, than work within your community. lots of grass roots shit going on all over the country. you're just wasting your time here - personally, i just come in her for stress relief - taking the piss out of trolls is strangely calming. 
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Ironic
That's right!
So I don't have to provide a solution to what's identified as a problem.
Thanks!
i really am surrounded by idiots. thanks for the reminder,
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Is that the same court that ruled that bees could be considered fish?
you been smoking more weed then me, lately. it's kind of entertaining.

How do you two feel about corporations being considered people, in the eyes of the SCOTUS?

Do you reside there?
Quote by Chryses
That may have something to do with the topic, but I am unsure what it might be.
But... do you reside in California?

It's an important issue, though. It's just irrelevant to this thread.
Another thread bites the dust to pedantic nonsense.
