He is fat, arrogant, does not care about the enviroment, likes big and powerful automobiles, etc. It seems that he is really not that tough of guy. Quote:

| Evo-less | I think that was written shortly after his trip and he may still have some penned up anger that just got blown off in that article, im sure if it had happend in the UK he would have been just as harsh.

Seems that most of his problems are in California, which in my blunt honest opinion, is weirdsville from San Fransisco Southward. Northern Cali is pretty normal.

Rep Power: 20 ![]() | Hilarious article! Jeremy is generally against overzealous lawmakers who impose unnecessary restrictions on the daily lives of people whether it's in Britain or America. His basic definition of freedom is "being able to do what you want", which is why he pokes fun at America - "the land of the free" - for having so many ridiculous rules. He's right in saying that Americans are becoming too paranoid with their homeland security (insecurity). Paranoia just leads to fear, depression, and a negative outlook on life.

California sucks. The really funny thing is that all the things he trashes America for in that article, Americans are pissed off about as well. Watch any US comedy show and there are constantly bits making fun of airport security, lawsuits, stupid gas station attendants, bureaucracy, etc. We all hate that shit too. | |

Rep Power: 20 ![]() | I visited SoCal in 2004 and it was an awesome place. People may think that SoCal is a weirdo's paradise because the lifestyle there is surreal; year-round sunshine with little rain, huge new houses, expensive cars, everyone is rich, 1/3rd of Californians are Mexicans, palm trees lining almost every street, movie stars walking around, world-famous beaches, etc. It's a nice environment to live in but it just seems overwhelming, like a dreamy fancy lifestyle that went overkill.
