California Mug

The overall attitude is haughtiness with hypocritical and epitomous social abuse. Many of the people are generally good-looking with well kept bodies (thanks to the miracles of plastic surgery) and are active in the outdoors. The people are fake: bodies are more important than the person‘s spirit and character because they believe you are what you look like, as if you were a character in the movies. The people are fake with fake boobs, fake lips, fake cheeks and fake eye lashes. L.A is the “plastic surgery capital” of the world. Making money, partying and sex is the meaning of life. If you are shallow, arrogant, superficial, materialistic, and have a good body (even if a fake one), think that life is meaningless other than partying (just look at the corrupt Hollywood culture), you'll do well here. If you are looking for a meaningful life filled with good relationships and want to raise a family like me, forget about it. Moving from the Midwest to California may be very difficult for you, due to the culture shock. The social structure is extrmely corrupt despite their belief of progress and openess: the government is corrupt, schools are corrupt and the police are corrupt. Californians like to think they are progressive and compassionate, but California is not compassionate by any means. The homeless situation is the worst of any state and even being homeless is almost a crime. If you are a Republican or Conservative and appreciate family values, you will be outcast from much of the population, except in Orange County. You can thank the extreme liberalism coming from Hollywood and the Bay Area for that. They think they are progressive, when in fact all they like to do is put in their ignorant two cents. They talk the talk, but can’t walk the walk. You cannot find a more hypocritical culture anywhere. Californians think their state is the most beautiful in the world (and there is plenty of serenity in the state) and that no other place of natural beauty exists on this planet, and that they are crime-free. What hogwash. Yes, California is very beautiful state with deserts, mountains, beaches and forests. But between all that, California leads the nation in almost everything bad: violent crime, illegal immigration, a growing prison population, drugs, air pollution and an out of control cost of living. So much so that many of its residents are starting to jump ship and move to other states.
