Re: Californicans are scumbags - I

Indeed!

Let's just say that prospective grand-sons-in-law undergo considerable scrutiny by the granddaughter's father and by me ;-) ...Jim Thompson

An MBA from the University of Arizona would be safe from my attentions. My ex-girl-friends mostly seem to be professors in serious subjects at serious universities.

Cursitor Doom left out the bit about her being married to an executive with a real estate loan company - one of the people who gave the world the sub-prime mortgage crisis. So much to be proud of and grateful for.

Pity other parents aren't so diligent in this "progressive" age in which we're being forced to live.

Apparently it is changing. "Millennial's" are suddenly going conventional, marrying, buying homes, etc. ...Jim Thompson

Young people have always liked to rebel against authority. In the 50s and

Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson's idea of "diligence" let his daughter marry an executive in a real estate loan company - one of the people who gave the world the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

As kids have been known to observe, parental preferences for potential spouses aren't always well-founded.

Cursitor Doom must move in strange circles. None of my circle of friends was ever dissolute, deadbeat, drug-addled or benefit-dependent.

I certainly got unemployment benefit in the Netherlands for four years, but I wasn't remotely dependent on it.

It's scarcely conservative to marry and buy a house - people have been doing it since there were houses to buy, and while it might have been "progressive" to sleep around a bit before you settled down, AIDS put paid to that idea a while ago.

Cursitor Doom likes to think that we were going to hell in a handbasket, but he won't be able to find any statistical evidence to support that point of view.

Current US statistics do support the idea that the US is something of a shithole country, with high and rising inequality creating all sorts of progressively worse social problems, and US millenials are suffering from this.

They may want to get educated, get a good job, marry and buy a house, but if their parents aren't rich (which means in the top 1% of the income distribution in the US) they can find it difficult.

Thank you for that Google translation. I wrote the last sentence, my translation would be: "This law applies not necessarily, where the rednecks live, but here in Germany." But I am wrong, the U.S. penal code has a similar law. Details here:

HTH, Holger

Recording you and making it publicly available are two different things.

In other words... if there is no nefarious purpose intended, it is NOT illegal to do. Sheesh.

Since it has been made public, you are wrong.

Perhaps Jim is a fan of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Nope. I'm more of a "Black and Blue..." fan:

The birthrates for Californica and Arizona are currently within a decimal point of each other, though Californica's is steadily falling whilst Arizona's is rising... probably economics... it's expensive to have a family in Californica.

In Arizona the percentage of stay-at-home mom's is rising... the Thompson family is doing its part... our average birthrate seems to be right around 3 children per mother ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Sweet. 50% jazz, 50% blues; what's not to like?

What the hell happened to Miles Davis? So much unfulfilled promise. :(
