Just watch the Paradise aftermath footage - there is the burnt corpse of a lady in a car who was applying her makeup before she evacuated but the fire overtook her. Its not anti-smoking but it could be considered anti-makeup.

I don't think a lot of people realize how deeply these Cali fires have affected you and others.

Don't pink and drive, kids. It could cost you your life.

Just one more reason why America needs to break up. What happens in Cali is as meaningful to me as what happens in Canada or Britain. We just happen to be in the same country for some reason.

Break that **** down to the state level and act like the EU. The South would be our Middle East and there'd always be some do-nothing hubbub about Texit.

I'm just hoping the east coast has solidarity but not enough that I wind up in the same country as states below me.

I think the sheer size of California throws people's perception of things off.
I talk to my mom (in Massachusetts) once a week and if she hears about anything wrong in CA she'll ask me about it.

"Did you hear about the fires near Sacramento?"

This is like me asking her if she heard about fires in North Carolina.

True.

I hate Californian stereotypes because it ignores the size of Cali and how different regions of California probably have very different cultures.

Then again, people operating on stereotypes are usually looking to oversimplify things anyways.

Nah. States rights vs. federal rights of course need to be respected but we shouldn't feel so disconnected. Not just on a national scale, but on a global scale.

As much as it scares libertarians for very very understandable reasons I say bring on the one world government and the NWO. They make it seem more sinister than it is at base value. Though, if abused, could become something very sinister. But nothing that these retards aren't already praising in the Trump fascist movement.
