All this transplant talk. Get over it. Are people to never move and experience new things and places? Are people to stay put in one place their whole life? What makes you so proprietary that you own people and places?
So what if someone covers my song? So what if someone wants to reproduce my art? So what if someone wants to make my book into a movie? So fucking what?
More money. More promotion. If they steal the idea, so what? Only Steve Jobs kinda people would get upset by this, and they would have a right, I would argue. But so what if they stole it? They can have it in my mind. They can adapt with it, and bring new ideas. Anyone who steals anything knows where it came from anyway, and would have to live with being a phony and fraud. Besides, new ideas are appropriated and borrowed ideas anyway. If you didn’t think of it by now, someone else did elsewhere.
No one owns anything. Its all temporary. Get over it.
People can move wherever they want to. It is happening, with or with out.

The story goes, in 1924 there was a tidy black market for drink, opium, betting, and some ancient Chinese artifacts. The artifacts were stashed in Portland, along with obscene amounts of opium and Chinese booze.
One day the gang came to the stash house to get a load of goods for delivery. When they opened up the door they found an almost dead Chinaman laying in the middle of the room. They rushed up to him, rolled him over, and his last words were, “It was the fucking Californians.”
When the lifer clowns prove their Native American ties, or start acknowledging their great grandaddy slaughtered dozens of native families just because they were there first, then and only then will I listen to advice or take orders from a fake native on how I should behave in his Oregon. Yo Dude your theory on no copyrights or patents is Pirate Alibi Bullshit. Good luck with getting that Religion off the ground.
A profoundly stupid post because all it does is misrepresent Portland’s problems. At first I thought the post originated from the mind of a lifestyle homeless dude waiting for the Western Union check that will allow Mr. Lifestyle Homeless to return to Cali. Then I changed my mind.
On reflection, I am thinking one of those Texas or NY plates I see around. I see a code monkey in a coffee shop
on Alberta who can’t get a permanent gig and has a false sense of security as PDX drains the savings account.
We can only allow them in if they pass our litmus test:
What does IBU measure? What is your favorite Elliot Smith album and if you have kids will they go to public or private.
Hating on transplants is a long tradition here. We don’t take kindly to people that don’t like our traditions. Aintree?! This river don’t go nowhere near Aintree!
I wonder what side of the Syrian refugee debate all these loser “fuck transplants” people fall on? One would think they wouldn’t want them coming to Oregon….crowding our streets and competing for rentals with their subsidy checks or other filthy foreign funds. Of course, you won’t hear any bitching about them from these types, as their xenophobia would be too apparent should they start bitching publicly about non-whites moving here. We all know where you insufferable, close minded “natives” (i.e. been here more than 3 years) turds stand, though.
Wow, never ending transplants. Everyone who lives in Oregon should have Oregon License Plates. I do see Texas and Californian tags out here. So many in my apartment
Complex parking lot.
Now Reverand Bite Me, you see a lot of New York tags.
Most of them are vacationers, during all seasons. You seldom see a person with New York tags coming to Portland to live. We generally fly,rent a car,look for jobs,stay with a friend or get a motel. Then you go back to New York and wait for a job saying “be in Portland in 30 days for your new job”. Even then, we seldom travel across the country with our oxen and covered wagons.
