MAJOR RANT is the tag of the day for this post...

[AmazonBabe]

I hate California's Governer.

Yes, the genious that he is, he passed a bill raising the price of car registerations (as if Californians don't have ENOUGH to pay). So, now, it's 3 times the amount the people of CA would normally be paying. So if you have a 3 or 4 year old car, and you lived in CA, you be paying for the registeration renewal as though it were brand new (and lets not even talk about the registeration for BRAND NEW cars). |I

And THEN, after the reports came in on how much it was going to be, he had the audacity to say "Well, I didn't think it'd be that high." Like THAT'S suppose to make me feel better?! :mad

And about a few months ago, he said he was going to see if he could get it lowered (my guess is so that ppl wouldn't try to assassinate him or to get good points for the election... yeah right... too little too late). And, he's done nothing yet about it even thought he said he would. Boy, am I surprised.:rolleyes

:grumble

And to get to the point of this rant... I have to pay 500 freakin dollars for my registeration renewal! That's MORE than what was paid for the registeration when the car was first bought! :verymad

:|

:cry

:mad

Is there any room out there in the other states for lil ol me? I'm starting to get sick of California's apparent "lets-bleed-the-CA-people-dry" policies.

(Hey charley! Do you still do hits? :lol)

[ReaperFett]

Move to England! Here, you will soon be able to make more money than a person on a higher paying job! :)

[Rage]

Babe, tell me about it. I'm not too happy living here myself. I despise Gray Davis and the wanna-be governor's aren't too much to look at either.

[ReaperFett]

Well remember one thing:

Microsoft loves you :)

[AmazonBabe]

I'll agree the other canidates aren't much to look at, but I feel a few of them, especially some of the ones at the top of the runnings, will actually get things DONE as opposed to sitting on their hineys all day and saying they will do something and then not.

[Rage]

That's very true! I think anyone would be better than Davis right now....well...some of the top runners, not people like the Gary Coleman or that porn star! :lol

[ReaperFett]

Give me one reason Coleman wouldn't work!

[Sanis Prent]

Move to Alabama. One of the few places in the union that isn't becoming a socialist state in the next 10 years.

[Park Kraken]

Move to Florida. We don't have very many taxes, we don't have a state income tax, it's pretty hot in the summer, but that can work your way also. We have the beaches, the resorts, the Theme parks, the recreation parks, the NFL Football teams, everything about Florida is great except for Miami. What a rat hole.

[Pierce Tondry]

Virginia has good old depression-proofing tobacco. :)

[AmazonBabe]

:lol

You guys sound like travel agents! And the funny thing is, all the states just mentioned I've been to. ^_^

But I haven't been to England yet though...

[Morgan Evanar]

Please don't move to Florida. There are too many people here already.

[Sanis Prent]

Or just stay north of Orlando. The south is a cuban annex.

...

...

Or move to South Florida anyways, & join your kin. Viva la Revolution! :shootin :shootin :shootin

Ooooh, we're not GOOD enough for you, eh?


...yeah, suppose.

[Crystal]

Move to Missouri!

We have...
...

..the St Louis arch?

[Rage]

:lol Wadd'ya say, Babe....shall we defect?? :lol

[Zasz Grimm]

Texas = dirt cheap taxes in the country area.

But it also = really small / remote at some places.

[imported_Eve]

California will eventually drop into the ocean. That would be neat...

I'm JOKING! Well maybe I am, and maybe I am not.

CO car reg. was $100-something this year (for a renewal) on my 2000. Not tooooo bad. NEW reg. was about $275. Having a car is a super-expense.

Try to live as long as you can on the Nike Express.

[Figrin D'an]

In Wisconsin, new car registration is about $75 I think. It's about $45 for a previously registered car (that's what I paid for my re-registration this past summer, anyway).


That, and there's plenty cheese, bratwurst and beer. :)

[AmazonBabe]

$75!!! :eek

If only it were so out here. :(


:lol Wadd'ya say, Babe....shall we defect?? :lol

I'm thinking about it... :lol

[Darth Viscera]

Move to Sweden. Despite being a dirt-poor country in comparison to Luxembourg or the U.S., they have the highest percentage of internet users in the world, at 67.7% of the population. And then there's the matter of ultra-cheap 100Mbps internet.

I don't know that you could actually communicate with the mythical native inhabitants, though. They speak some funny language that is not our own precious hexidecimal ebonics, and is called swedese or communist or something, and the womenfolk have sideways breasts and helmets crafted of bronze.

[Pierce Tondry]

I think I paid 100$ for a two-year registration on my Ford Tempo. (No comments, please -_-)

[Ryan Pode]

Virginia is a good place. Has everything from farm land to cities to coastal towns.

[Phantom]

* Rasies hand to assassinate Gray Matter, I mean Gray Davis. *

I'll do it free of charge. I truly loath that man, if a man is what you could call him. Hopfully they won't push back the election date again. so we can get that p.o.s. out of office and get someone in there that might actually do their job.

California needs to be just divided in two, then we can sink the southern half and all be much more happy. I know I would. All I got to say is thank god I got out of that place.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

*Fed-EXes Rie a boat* ^_^;

[Charley]

I love California, as far as the things to see and such, but good grief, you have some messed up people. Yes, and this comes from somebody from Alabama. YOU HAVE FREAKS IN YOUR STATE. Nuke it from orbit, plz.

:lol yeeeah... but she needs to come anyway, to go to see Sherlock Holmes, isn't that right AB? :D

[Darth Viscera]

We have orbital nukes? And I wasn't informed!? o.O

*hugs space*

Just don't live near Orlando, period. They are building suburbs outside of suburbs that were built outside of suburbs that were built outside of suburbs.
Live over here in Lakeland, or live in Longboat Key, or Naples, or Key Largo, or Key West. It may actually be better if you don't live north of Orlando, because the top half of Florida is boring.......

Not the southern half... that's where I'm stationed. ^_^;

Though I do hate the northern half. I've got this theory that the probs CA are having are prob due to San Fran being in existance. Of course, this is all in theory and most likely in my head. ^_^;

I know we have freaks in this state (I'm one of them, remember? :p) But I wouldn't want to nuke the whole state... just parts of it.


:lol yeeeah... but she needs to come anyway, to go to see Sherlock Holmes, isn't that right AB? :D

YUS!!! Need to go to the Sherlock Holmes pub and pay my regards to the head of the Hound of the Baskervilles. :rollin

Fear my rule! >D Hell, I'd probably get more done in this state than all the governers of the past combined! :rolleyes

[Rage]

Hey, if the Southern half is to be saved, then let me move their first! :lol

See you down in Arizona Bay >D

I too have this theory, though the problems I see are due to San Fran and L.A. being in existance.

... Damn freaks ...

... Fear not Charley, I beat them or hit them with my truck whenever I see them.

Thanks for reminding me to renew my Kansas Drivers License...

Looks like you Cali people are in luck...

The Governator has said that one of his first official acts will be to repeal the car registration tax that Davis had signed.

[Lion El' Jonson]

Excuse me?!?!?

San Francisco is where I live! Grrrrr........

Of course, there's all those "coming out" parades. *shudder*

Then again, I'm in Beijing for the next two years, so I guess it doesn't really matter. :lol

Current Beijing Weather: Raining like hell.
