Okay we live in "paradise" don't we? Do we really live in the lap of luxury that everyone says? What do you think are things in Hawaii that isn't so luxurious.

There's the obvious things that come with being known as a "paradise". The huge number of tourists, high costs of living, huge immigration of "outsiders" and huge emmigration of "natives" because of the aforementioned cost of living. But theres also things like, because of our geographic position and huge military presence, Hawaii lies at high risk of attack in war, as well as nuclear obliteration. Then there's racial and cultural issues that come from being such a popular destination as well as an occupied country. Then theres the many many environmental issues that come from having such a large number of people in such a limited area, such as over-fishing, over-development, loss of biodiversity, and so forth. Then theres economic difficulties from our geographic and political positions being so far away from the "mainland U.S."... etc...etc...

Well we were just hit with a storm clocking in at winds up to 85 MPH so that just goes to show that it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

I heard from a friend who has family in Hawaii that the cost of living there is pretty much high.

It ticks me off when people treat Hawaii as a "paradise" (really resort) kinda place. All they do is just look at the hotels and spas, nothing beyond that.

If there are such things, can you imagine what some of the life is like outside of these places?

I have to agree with you there. The cost of living here is high here. We aren't just sunshine and paradise. We are still affected with the world's problems everyday. Families lose each other, there's homelessness, there's basically every problem anyone else has accept for the fact of natural occurences like blizzards and all.

No offense but whoever thinks that Hawaii is a paradise, you are seriously gulliuble and stupid. Most only look at the shiny cover that Hawaii has without even looking in the inside mess that we are. It's really sad.
