I hope the only people who care about this stupid argument are Norcal-ers because, I for one know that i'm too busy with my own life in Socal to give a shat about what people from Norcal think about Socal.

p.s. this is why we're known as Sorcal

Since their forum is right next to the McAfee Coliseum where the Oakland A's and Oakland Raiders are, shouldn't they be referred to as the "Oakland Warriors?"
UCLA wasn't that great ever, and I'm an alum. We have ONE championship from before the NCAA was created. Ok...Raiders were a Davis stunt. What about the Rams?
And Golden State is called that because they used to be an SF team, and then moved to Oakland, so they just kept the name at the state level. It makes sense if you look at their history.

However, this issue of Socal vs. Norcal is a very real one, and affects real life. An example is one that I discovered reading the East Bay Express. It turns out that Latinos in prison have a segregational system, labeling people from Socal as Surteņos, and Norcal people as Norteņos. Prison administrators eventually realized that they couldn't mix the two groups together because riots would occur. This example may seem to be unexpository, but is actually indicative of the behavioral patterns already mentioned that are generally prevalent. "Resentiment" is a very real issue, and anyone that has studied a certain portion of Modern philosophy shall know exactly what I am speaking of. Thus, making this specific topic worth discussing, because there was never any argument to win in the first place. Besides, the thread was supposed to be for Socal members to post about hating Norcal - it wasn't supposed to include Norcal-ers (who were "recruited" because of a certain someone's bay area invitation) who felt the need to beat on their drums.
p.s. people like me get paid to argue

Actually Nortenos are from the northern parts of MEXICO and Surenos are from the southern parts of MEXICO. It has nothing to do with where they live in CA.
