it wasnt always like this. i was going to say it in an earlier post that, while CA (socal in particular) has always been superficial, its gotten increasingly more extreme over the past decade with far-left hipster douchbags... mostly the college educated children of hippies and such. and with them, a rise in homeless, drugs, crime and trash. hence the mass exodus of people who have left the state and watch in awe from afar the continuous flow of abhorrent videos of stupidity coming from CA.
just today one of my friends sent me a link to a man found dead on the 110 freeway.... about 2 months ago another friend sent me a photo of a man hung off the 60 freeway.
all this talk useless talk about stupid politics and gun control and no one stops to process the nonsense being created by modern hollywood. its all violent, meaningless trash... i tuned out ages ago.

I'm aware of the history of the CARB/EPA/all that bullshit, it's just dumb. Those fucks are fighting a good fight but again, too many people in too close of an area not giving a shit. It's a good idea, just failing miserably for anything that isn't purchased brand new and with the market all fucked up, they aren't making something new and eco-friendly easily accessible for those who don't have loaded pockets. It's a catch twenty-two.
As far as Hollywood glorifying violence, it's because that is what this generation of kids wants to see. Music, movies and games are targeting younger and younger children. I'm not one of those dudes who say 'CALL OF DUTY IS FUCKING UP THE YOUTH AND TRAINING SCHOOL SHOOTERS' but I was at a birthday party for a kid in the family and there was a 10-year-old kid singing fucking SuicideboyZzZZZzzZzz. I'm listening to him and it's pussy this, drugs that, bullet holes to the chest and shit. Like, what the fuck?
