BajaBlanca - 11-18-2010 at 03:33 PM

I heard that the tourism board in Baja is considering not permitting the use of BAJA in any name in the future ....
Cananyone confirm this ?

woody with a view - 11-18-2010 at 03:47 PM

so there will be a norcal, sur y socal, sur?

David K - 11-18-2010 at 03:50 PM

That will work about as well as when Baja California Sur wanted to change the state name to Sudcalifornia (Southern California) and the northern state to change from Baja California to Juarez.

These were proposed in 1974...

It turns out 'Baja' is just too cool a name to not use.

Blanca,
Its horrible but true. Their also abolishing Catholicism and building the worlds largest theme park in Punta Prieta. :lol:

With their successful track record how could they go wrong.

vgabndo - 11-18-2010 at 04:31 PM

Well, of the two, I think a giant theme park is a bad idea.
As a compromise, maybe a medium sized theme park, and they just outlaw the institutional protection of child molestors, then they could still keep all those classic old temples left over from the Cortez invasion. :lol:

Isn't "They're" a shortening of "They are"? I think "their" is appropriate here. Es Verdad???

Barry A. - 11-18-2010 at 05:59 PM

Ooooops--------I was looking at the wrong "their".

Sorry about that SanQuitin, and Woody, et al.

Barry

BajaRat - 11-18-2010 at 06:21 PM

Woody,
My English Major spouse is with you on this one.
Now, back to Blanca's Question.
One of the names they're (these are the guys who wear suits, don't live there and want to Trademark" Baja") thinking of for the theme park are
It's a free for all (If you have the cash or power).

woody with a view - 11-18-2010 at 06:31 PM

how about "after the gauntlet"?

I'm pretty sure the word showing possession is simply "theirs," no apostrophe (similar to "its," also showing possession, without an apostrophe).

BajaBlanca - 11-18-2010 at 07:55 PM

I am laughing out loud .... I did NOT make myself clear, desculpame (sorry) ....

What I was told is that anyone who wants to start a company will be NOT be allowed to use the word BAJA in the company name ergo: Baja 1000 or Baja Jungle or Baja Internet would not be allowed.

signing off wawablanca, babablanca, hahablanca (kinda like that last one)

bajalou - 11-18-2010 at 08:13 PM

My internet provider (as well as cable TV) in New Mexico is "Baja Broadband". They provide services in several states in the USA.

encanto - 11-18-2010 at 08:18 PM

BB-Would this law just apply to businesses in Baja? I've seen increasing references to "Baja" in restaurant names across the country (US) over the last few years. Have they copyrighted the word internationally so to speak?

Woody-no hypocrisy, you're humble.

BajaBlanca - 11-18-2010 at 08:27 PM

I don't know, I really don't know. Maybe someone else does ?

BajaRat - 11-19-2010 at 09:08 AM

Thanks soulpatch,
I saved the site in my school favorites. I should have never told Skeet/Loreto to make spell check his best friend. This pot shall pay for calling the kettle black.
P.S. Good luck with your sugery today Skeet, the viquitas and I will keep you in our best thoughts. Wishing you a speedy recovery and avoiding the big gill net in the sky. Lionel

Hey Rat, who is trying to get rid of Catholicism? Also, why?

MitchMan - 11-19-2010 at 10:21 AM

The most common mistake ever:
Incorrect: "Me running in cirlces means that I am lost."

Correct: "My running in circles means that I am lost

Everyone everywhere always makes this mistake.

motoged - 11-19-2010 at 10:50 AM

Vgabndo,
Good idea....maybe give some of the gold back and sell off all that corner real estate while they're at it....besides, bingo has died down a bit as a recreational/fundraising activity...

Communists/ Socialists fear religion as it takes thier idea of ultimate authority away from people in the government (the state) and puts it in the hands of our creator... so no one man is greater than another... all men are created equal, etc.

Using that logic, David liked it :lol:

One doesn't have to be abused to recognize abuse.

Politics and religion thread... here we go

David, not all free-thinking individuals are pinko commies...., but thanks for the maps....I keep them on the right side of my desk, as I fear that if I place them on the left side they will lead me astray....and I will end up stranded at El Tomatal (sp?) with absolutely no charge....and I will be cursing and/or praying :lol:

Bajahowodd - 11-19-2010 at 03:00 PM

Blanca. Gotta wonder about your source, and whether you were given the full picture. You reference the tourism board. But, since when do they have a final say?

Everyone recalls when the entire peninsula consisted of a single state known as Baja California. When they established BCS, they didn't change the name of Baja California to BCN. Given the wide use of the term Sudcalifornia, as noted, it may be that there has been some discussion of giving BCS a more singular identity. But, even if the Southerners want to change things, I cannot, for the life of me think why anyone in the state of Baja California would not be able to use "Baja" in a business name.

...and the abusers should be imprisoned for life. It just gets old listening to this clown trashing Catholicism every chance he gets. Maybe he's got issues....I don't know. Why not trash the ones who are sworn to kill Americans and Jews in the name of Allah?

dk:
would you rather trust your life to govt or a mythical creature? i prefer that the govt run air traffic control rather than leaving it to catholic church :lol:

"no one man is greater than another" and "all men are created equal" are not ideas i attribute to many christian, islamic and pagan religions. dk: if the pope is your supreme leader, are all men created equal? is the pope a man or your deity?
but such concepts do appear in democracy and communism

I don't believe the entire peninsula was ever one state. It was all a territory at one time, then the northern portion was made a state named Baja California, while the southern portion remained a territory. Some years later, the southern territory was changed to a state named Baja California Sur.

BajaBlanca - 11-19-2010 at 05:30 PM

Bajahowodd: My source is a local guy, since no one else heard about it, I will investigate further.

On a different note: Did you guys know that Mexico used to be called NEW SPAIN ? I didn't.

Now, someone mentioned communism and socialism - can one of you tell me what the difference (if any) between the 2 is ????? Les thinks they are the same and I think they MUST be different - otherwise why have the 2 terms ...but that is no explanation and I guess I was sleeping during this part of history class.

Y,all, Suposed to be absurd, come'on now the majority of both states is Catholic. It was FUNNY RIGHT? Blanca, please know the info someone dropped on you I hoped was as crazy as the response I gave in jest. Now the David Hasselhoff taking over the Begger of Catavina's turf is a whole different story. Check out UtuBe video and lay your money down. I can't wait to meet you, the Fam. and I had a great time hangin on Bocanita and went by your place but they said you were piciking up bikes Stateside for the local kids(GO GIRL!).
P.S. Met The Mother Superior of La Bocana on that trip. Check out her fotos on TEAM JURJOS youtubes videos at the surf contest, Yeh, let's all be careful before we judge the individual, we might just see our own fly is down.

Double P.S. VIVA MEXICO!!!

I made an earlier post referencing DK; his incessant political interjections in so many unrelated posts. I linked it to his Baja references; maps, books, GPS.

Well, I posted that just a few minutes before he started the string about Mike and Don Kay the donkey being in distress. Had I known, I would not have made my post here.

So, I will go back and delete that earlier post in this string. DK's references and knowledge is, overall, a great asset and he is in a great position to be of assistance for Mike. In light of this, my post was inappropriate. I am deleting it. I throw my heartfelt support towards David's effort during Mike's crisis.

Well, I deleted it, but I see that I was quoted by mssteve1014. Sorry. I can't delete someone else's post. But I still withdraw my statement's sentiment in light of the current crisis.
