"As of 2005, California has the sixth largest economy in the world. The gross state product (GSP) is about $1.55 trillion ($1,550,000,000,000, as of 2004), making it greater than that of every other U.S. state, and most countries in the world"

Cali is doing it big no doubt 8)

The predominant industry in the state, more than twice as large as the next, is agriculture, (including fruit, vegetables, dairy, and wine). California agriculture brought in $27 billion in revenue in 2000.[1] Total farming-related sales in California were $26 billion in 2002.[2]
Agriculture is followed by:
* aerospace
* entertainment, primarily television by dollar volume, although many movies are still made in California
* light manufacturing including computer hardware and software, and the mining of borax.
California also draws significant revenue from international trade and tourism. The exports of goods made in California totaled $94 billion in 2003.[3] Nearly $40 billion of that total was computers and electronics, followed by agriculture, non-electrical machinery, transportation, and chemicals.[4] Total direct travel spending in California reached $82.5 billion in 2004, a 7.4% increase over the preceding year.[5] Los Angeles County receives the most tourism in the state.[6]
Historically, California's economy has been controlled by huge corporations such as the Southern Pacific Railroad, Standard Oil of California and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
thats funny California isn't really known for it's farming lol

Still is in a lot of ways.

I'm surprised how many people don't know this. Such good land for growing. Besdies they got to do something with all that land between Southern Cali and The Bay.

It's not that it isn't known. People know about Napa Valley, and a lot of produce comes from California, but when you hear California, the average person doesn't think of farming

6th largest industry + 36,132,147 californians = a lot of smog ;D
those are some impressive facts though, i had no idea it was nearly that much. as a comparison, alaska's GSP is around $31 billion. that is mainly dependent on seafood, tourism and oil exports. california just fuckin dwarfs that. crazy.

We got that Mediterranean climate so of course we grow the good shit.
And people love to hate on us, but eventually the rest of the country adopts to our way of life. Especially when it comes to our pollution problem, even though we have THE strongest pollution laws in the world.

^^^ hell yeah dude, shit is nuts. one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. yet, they make fucking bank. they may be out on the water for 5 days at a time and, depending on the catch, can bring in huge amounts of profit.i'm talking like average yearly salaries for most people in a 5 day period. crazy.

That's what I ment. Just bad wording on my part. Nobody in the US grows as much shit as we do. Some people think there are midwestern states that have more farm land then we do.

Yeah, and you ain't getting in on any of the action. Conservatives are not allowed to engage in pre-marital sex, smoke weed, or listen to violent music.

OK let's start with music. If it wasn't for Ohio, there would be no such thing as west coast hip hop. Y'all would have no beats. What state do you think all the old funk groups like Ohio Players, Bootsy Collins, Roger Troutman, Zapp, Ojays, etc came from? Yup, you guessed it...Ohio. What state are Tash and E Swift from the Alkaholiks from? Nope not Cali....they are from Ohio. And what rap group brought Ruthless Records back from the dead and made Eazy-E relevant again when he was looked at as a joke? It was Bone Thugs N Harmony, and we all know where they were from.
Damn I just served this whole board on that one.

First off. The Ohio Players, I give you, Roger and Zapp (They are one act) I give you, but with that, the westcoast sampled TONS of different artist. George Clinton is from North Carolina/New Jersey, James Brown was from Georgia, and our producers are from here. Bone Thugs was produced by DJ Uneek, from LA. So don't get it twisted, yeah, Ohio got some funk back in the day. But compaired to LA, don't even think your close.
-
Bone Thugs would still be robbing convenience stores and shootign themselves in the asses without Eazy-E. Nice try though.
-
ohios got better weed? lemme put it to you like this, the further you travel "inside" America, the shittier the bud, i think the only landlocked state thats got good weed is vermont

cwalker i know you try to make a name for Ohio but dude lets face it, it isn't ever going to happen. Bone Thugs wouldn't have been shit without Cali, you and i know that. So with that said Fuck a Bitch, Fuck You and Fuck Ohio :psych:
