OREGON SUCKS

[badger]

Is that the Sooner Schooner? No, it's something they stole from the Apple II game "Oregon Trail."

I think they also stole their state name from that game. How else to you come up with suck a crummy state name. Or-e-gon. Is that like a something-sided shape, like a Pent-a-gon or an Oct-a-gon?

How ridiculous-a-gon.

Al Gore thinks Oregon and Ralph Nader both suck. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Oregon,_200 0)

How dare the blue state not all vote for him? lol

[Midtowner]

Oregon sucks because:

1) They have a lot of active volcanoes like Mt. Hood, a close relative of Mt. St. Helens which blew up sometime back in the 1980s and showered the continental U.S. with a bunch of volcanic ash, making Mother Nature about the most inconsiderate bitch there ever has been. We in tornado alley have enough to worry about without an Armageddon cloud of death descending on us courtesy of those *******s in Oregon.

2) Portland, Oregon... if you like dirty people, this is your place. It's fashionable there for women to leave their body hair au natural. Their claim to fame is snooty microbrew, a big *** bookstore (who gives a **** about bookstores?) and homeless people.

3) Portland (again) instead of doing what most cities do and having a homeless shelter for the real homeless who need a hand up, Portland prides itself on providing hand outs. They actually recognized a bunch of squatters who built makeshift shacks calling themselves "Dignity Village" as a positive thing. Damn hippies. But hey, if you want to be a homeless good for nothing, Portland, Oregon is the place to be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity_Village

4) I think someone already mentioned expensive socialist gasoline.

5) A high minimum wage... what.. do the snooty Oregonians think their nametagged employees are more valuable than those in humble places like Oklahoma?

6) Too damn much natural beauty. I mean really.. here in Oklahoma, we make do with two rivers to float (Illinois and Kiamichi/Mountain Fork) and great mountains like Mt. Scott. It's a wonder the folks in Oregon get anything done at all with all of the available outdoor activities.

7) Pac-10 game fixing refs.

8) Probably the worst state flag of all time. Looks like Oregon Trail threw up. It makes me want to die from dysentery.

[KantoSooner]

No, no my friend, if you're going to die, streaming from both ends, push the boat all the way out and go straight on for cholera.
The reigning champ for disgusting, humiliating ways to die.

Oregon should die of Cholera.

Do you want to ford the river or caulk the wagon and float across?

I'll tell you what I don't want to do --- pay an Oregon native to assist me, because the damn wagon will tip over when I do? Three sets of clothing?!?! Eff that! It'd be safer to just try to walk across!

[Jason White's Third Knee]

But Portlandia is funny.


Portlandia is mildly amusing on the rarest occasion. The rest of the time it makes me want to stab my thigh with a fork.

MID!

I'm shocked that you would use the word "socialist" to describe gasoline.
Does it actually burn by itself? Or does it need the help of the government to burn?

[rock on sooner]

You forgot...no sales tax...

For a tree hugger hippie culture, they sure know how to chop down trees for their soccer team. Timber Joey is a real logger and after each goal he slices another piece of a big log in celebration. NO PITY on that poor tree, lol

Blasphemer!

Oh yeah and a tree killed Sonny Bono. You tree huggers are protecting the killer of Sonny Bono you low-life pond scum.

Oregon Man Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail for Collecting Rainwater on His Property


A rural Eagle Point man was sentenced to 30 days in jail Wednesday for filling what state water managers have called three illegal reservoirs on his property.

Gary Harrington was also fined more than $1,500 for nine misdemeanor convictions for filling his reservoirs with rain and snow runoff that the state says is owned by the Medford Water Commission. He was given two weeks to report to the Jackson County Jail to begin serving his sentence.

Harrington said he stores the water mainly for fire protection and has pledged to appeal his convictions.

"Thirty days in jail for catching rainwater?" Harrington said Wednesday to the Mail Tribune.

"We live in an extreme wildfire area and here the government is going to open the valves and really waste all the water right now, at the start of peak fire season," Harrington said.

At the center of the case was a 1925 state law giving the water commission exclusive rights to all the water in Big Butte Creek, its tributaries and Big Butte Springs — the core of the city's municipal water supply.

In court filings Harrington had argued that he's not diverting water from the creek system, merely capturing rainwater and snowmelt from his 172 acres along Crowfoot Road.

Harrington has maintained that this runoff, called "diffused water," does not fall under the state water-resources jurisdiction and does not violate the 1925 act.

In the past, water managers have concluded that the runoff is a tributary of nearby Crowfoot Creek and thus subject to the law.

A six-person jury earlier this month sided with the state on nine misdemeanor charges. They were three counts each on charges of illegal use of water denied by a watermaster, unauthorized use of water and interfering with a lawfully established head gate or water box.

The charges are all misdemeanors. Harrington pleaded guilty to similar charges in 2002 and applied for permits for his reservoirs, but they were denied.

At the request of the Jackson County District Attorney's Office, Harrington's case was prosecuted by the state Department of Justice. DOJ prosecutor Patrick Flanagan handled the case, and he could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

[KantoSooner]

I don't understand that case. He is not removing water from the watershed; he's merely slowing its inevitable path to the creek.
Was his lawyer a pet mouse?
or just an .....OREGONIAN?

[Mississippi Sooner]

You can't pump your own gas and you can't collect your own rainwater.

OREGON SUCKS!
