^However, that wasn't your question. You asked if Arizona even had seasons. The mountainous regions and national forests serve as proof that yes, we do. We even have a number of ski resorts.

California also has all of the 4 seasons and with way more stuff too see than just mountains and national forests. Does Arizona have beaches? Nope. Does Arizona have Hollywood, San Francisco, San Diego? Nope. Does Arizona have deserts, mountains, national parks? Yup and so does California.

I thought California's 4 seasons were fire, flood, drought, and earthquake.

Shows what you know. We have plenty of miles of beaches. Just no water. :p

And we do have Hollywood. Smaller for sure, but it's there. There are movie studios in both Phoenix and Tucson, and Sedona/Flagstaff area is popular with the studios out of California for western location shooting.

They are. Just to keep the rest of us on our toes, every once in a while they throw in mud/landslides and/or riots as substitute seasons. Oh, and don't forget rolling blackout season.

ED:

To add some further fuel to this fire, a Southern California city has weighed in on the Arizona side of this debate.California City takes stand against illegal immigration. Police in Costa Mesa, California have evidently been trained in dealing with immigration law and have been empowered to ask for proof of immigration status from suspects that they interact with.

Some Arizona energy commissioner is threatening to cut off electricity supplies to Los Angeles unless LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa renounces the city’s boycott. “I would be happy to help them to renegotiate the power agreements so they no longer receive power from Arizona,” commissioner Gary Pierce told ABC News...
“I feel like if you’re going to boycott the candy store, you’ve got to leave all the candy alone,” said Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce. Arizona provides 25 percent of Los Angeles’ power.

“I feel like Arizona is the candy store,” he added.

Pierce made his challenge after the Los Angeles City Council’s 13-1 vote earlier this month to boycott Arizona and Arizona-based businesses.

Yeah...problem with that, is that Pierce is an ignoramus. The full response to his threat from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

General Manager’s Statement Regarding LADWP Power Generation Assets in Arizona

“I want to make clear that we support the City position regarding the recent law enacted in Arizona and the resolution adopted by the Los Angeles City Council.

On any given day, we receive 20 – 25% of our power from two power plants located in Arizona: Navajo, a coal-fired plant, and Palo Verde, a nuclear plant.

We are part owner of both power plants, which are generating assets of the Department. As such, nothing in the City’s resolution is inconsistent with our continuing to receive power from those LADWP-owned assets.

I might add that, as the City’s Job Czar, I certainly would welcome any conventions or meetings that were going to be held in Arizona to come to Los Angeles. We have fantastic facilities and incomparable weather and we’d welcome them to the City of Angels.”

- Austin Beutner, General Manager, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power

California is by far more important to the U.S. than any other state (with the possible exception of New York). We have the largest population of any state, we have the most diverse and wonderful geography in the country, are the 6th largest economy in the world, and one of the most fascinating and beautiful places to live out of all 50 states. Arizona cannot compete with California. California will always WIN. California has a better economy than Arizona

Lol!!! Los Angeles FTW.
 
^who really gives a shit about theme parks anyway? :rolleyes:

every state has 'em. big farkin' deal.

Maybe.. but not every state has beaches,mountains,deserts, forest's like California does.

hmm, the U.S. has 35 coastal states, commonwealths, and territories. that's a hell of a lot of beaches, most of which aren't in California.

if you want mountains, go to Alaska or Colorado. those two states dominate the list of peaks over 14,000 feet.

as far as deserts go, I'll take the unmatched beauty of the Painted Desert in Arizona.

and there are trees and forests all over this country, nothing particularly unique about the ones in California.

California has everything you're looking for.

umm, no, it doesn't.

that's why I don't live there anymore.:p

California is ... the 6th largest economy in the world,

and it's broke. :rolleyes:

oh, and don't forget about California Penal Code Section 834b.

Ha..so what? California is still superior to Arizona. We have Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Mojave Desert, The Golden State Bridge, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Sequoia National Park, KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Angeles National Forest, Tahoe National forest, best weather,Mt. Whitney and a million other things i did NOT mention ;)
 
And as you head north out of Big Bear Lake you come upon the most incredible view at a scenic pull-off. Joshua trees, cactus, crazy rock formations, and tons of trash that hasn't been picked up since the 1960's. Someone should really get on that. There were even piles of beer cans with pull tabs laying around.

As an Arizona roller coaster addict, I can tell you that's not true. Arizona has a pathetic lack of theme parks. (Castles & Coasters doesn't count. It's more like Fiddlesticks or Golfland with a a roller coaster tacked on.) We've got some great water parks. But man, I would kill for a Six Flags over Phoenix.:(
