I've been to about 30 states and definitely feel that Oklahoma and Indiana are tied for worst

How culturally different are American states compared to say, different countries?

State to state? Prob not all that much in most cases. It's more regional, and sometimes those regional lines will bisect a state.

It's officially official.

Isn't California full of gangs though and aren't whites a minority?

Like anywhere else on Earth, it depends where you are. If you're in Irvine or Palo Alto, you're more likely to find a Dodo bird than a black person.

 

[Baroque]

Most of the gangs in Cali are mexican, and mostly in LA and suburbs. Very rarely anywhere else. And gang activity has decreased a Ton since the '90s.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... yeah its definitely decreased since then. It's still bad, but the 90's were just something else. A lot of black gangs too, but yeah the mexican/south side gangs run shit down here.

about to watch more Star Wars Rebels. great show!

 

[viewerfromnihil]

California is the best because it has everything you could want. Beach, mountains, forests, and deserts. No other state has all that.

Don't say that to some Marylanders. MD is up there in terms of environmental variety. There's no desert per se, but I'm pretty sure there's a microclimate or two in the state that resembles a desert. Perhaps I'm wrong. Either way, I like Maryland. Also, our ocean isn't cold as fuck.

Gentrification has actually pushed a lot of gangs out of their old territories. Look what happened to Echo Park and Silverlake

Assuming that this phenomena does occur, it unfortunately is likely to create an entirely misses the point """"debate""""" between the camp that would argue we could stop all undesirable behavior by gentrifying everything, and the camp that would argue that that's racist.

Just saw a headline about some Palestinian terrorists that killed a female Israeli soldier and severely injured another female that said "three Palestinians dead."

Not biased at all CNN.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Echo Park still has a shit load of gangbangers.

 

[Onder]

I need a fucking soup and some fucking beer RIGHT NOW.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Waking up early is one of the cruelest jokes adult life plays on you.

 

[Krow]

Ton of fucking snow on the ground. Thinking I may take le personal day. I don't feel like driving in this shit this morning.

On the weekends. A lot of them have been pushed out and are now in Santa Clarita and shit but come back on the weekends for the fam. I have several friends who live right by the lake, and it's total hipster central now

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.... yeah, they've been heavy on the hiptsers out there for a while already. The injunction hit them pretty hard a few years ago, but they're still active as fuck. I know a few cats from ExP.

Edit: And silver lake has never been that ghetto anyway. A shit load of fags in that area.
