I used to live in the south DJ... From the Country Music capitol of the country... The Athens of the south... Good Ol' Nashville Tennessee...  Lived there for about 8 years, till I graduated from high school, then headed out west for college...  The humidity out there in the south nearly freakin' killed me... And Lord knows how bad the humidity can make a fat kid sweat...  :-\

Not True... Do your research young man...

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/1216-01.htm
"In this country, the research has documented ill effects on infants even in cities with modern pollution controls, including Los Angeles. "

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/01/020102075340.htm
"Pregnant Los Angeles-area women living in regions with higher levels of ozone and carbon monoxide pollution were as much as three times as likely to give birth to children who suffered from serious heart defects"

http://www.millennium-ark.net/News_Files/INFO_Files/bad.air.html
Hmmm is that LA on the top of the list for most polluted city for the year of 2001?

http://www.ems.org/air_pollution/air_toxics_assessment.html

"The first nationwide study of 32 common toxic chemicals shows that for 20 million Americans -- many of them living in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas -- the pollutants pose a cancer risk 100 times greater than what the Environmental Protection Agency usually considers acceptable... ....The data released Friday suggest that 200 million Americans face a 1 in 100,000 lifetime risk of developing cancer from these pollutants, while the risk posed to residents of Los Angeles and the Bay Area was as high as 1 in 5,000."

http://www.usc.edu/hsc/info/pr/1vol3/318/smog.html
"Los Angeles area children experience slight lung function losses on days when their exposure to air pollution (ozone, nirtrogen dioxide and air-borne particulates) is higher, according to a new study by USC researchers, William S. Linn and Henry Gong, Jr."

http://www.lungusa.org/air2001/analysis02.html
"For the third straight year, the top four most ozone-polluted metropolitan areas were in California: Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County; Bakersfield; Fresno; and Visalia-Tulare-Porterville."


If you want I can keep going... I've got hundreds of these links...  :-\

[SirS Club]

i live in la so dont try and tell me how it is out here

[SirS Club]

that was to the paper i just read off one of thows links sorry forgot to say that in last post, thanks for the info fatkid

[fatkid]

Which paper?  Because for those links I've got 100's of others that say the same thing... That L.A. is one of the most polluted cities (in not the number 1) in the States... Now I'm not trying to blame that on you, or to say that the beaches aren't lovely... I'm sure they are... But for anyone coming into L.A. for the first time, there is a very noticeable difference in the air quality in the L.A./O.C. area... That's just what happens when you live in such a large metropolitan area... Heck the part that depressed me the most was that when I was in central L.A. when I looked up to Hollywood, the pollution was so thick that I couldn't even see the Hollywood sign on the hill... :(

I bet if you talked DJ into coming out to the big city from living out in the hills he could tell you there is a world off difference from where he lives now to the amount of pollution there in L.A.... Same holds true for Detroit, Chicago, N.Y.C., Pittsburgh, or any other HUGE metro area...

Call me a tree-hugger if you want but amounts of pollution like that make me sad...  :-\

[fatkid]
