Are you a happy state?

We'll we're not.

California ranks #46 which means we're all pissed off, cynical, and depressed despite our seemingly perfect weather. The article describes CA's plight the best
Quote:
“I am only a little surprised,” he said. “Many people think these states would be marvelous places to live in. The problem is that if too many individuals think that way, they move into those states, and the resulting congestion and house prices make it a non-fulfilling prophecy.”

This is quite true. All you ****ers from the other states started to flood CA quite rapidly. This forced rapid development however demand still couldn't keep up with supply and housing prices soared. Traffic congestion became 3x worse practically overnight. To top it all off, I think we have the worst goverment in all of civilization's history. Say what you will about autocracies and dictatorships. At least they got **** done. California still has a monumental budget problem that is likely to never go away. California legislature will still continue to spend on ridiculous ****. I would love for some other entity to take over California. Or perhaps I'll rise up and overthrow Ahnold.

So yeah, we Californians are pissed off people, natives more so.

My state rated 35th (Kentucky). I don't know what to make of the results. I'd love to see the results by county.

I think we should be higher. :( Maine is a pretty 'happy' place.


Though right now I'm staying in #3 and it blows.

#5 for Arizona, #21 for Oklahoma. I am happy with both of those numbers!

#5 is pretty nice. #3 is nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there again. I've never been to #1 and #2...and have just driven through #4. NH is #28...which is probably about right.
woot!
2009-12-19, 11:24 AM #21
from #45 and live in #46
I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become.

#5? Bull****, people in Arizona are all cranky bastards.

The only reason why Utah ranked as a happy state is because of all their anti-depressant over indulgence here. Im not from there, Im from its blue neighbor and Im thinking of moving back. "Vivaaa.....Las Vegas".

It could also be related to their rate of consumption of Internet pornography.

You could be right about that, its more like child pornography and they do rank very high here for child molestation, mostly in the rural regions of northern Utah. I wont even bring up the subject about the religion here.:rolleyes:

I'm in #3, and I'm a pretty happy guy. Although Florida is a red state more often than not, which is why I was bummed when it went democratic in the past election.

Anyway, the beaches are great, yo.
It took a while for you to find me; I was hiding in the lime tree.

I wonder if we could settle the national debt by selling Alaska? Call in the next 5 minutes & get a free Sarah Palin!

Ohio is usually a red state too, and in fact locally it was still red in the last election. Maybe that's why we're happy here in this corner >.>

I agree with this. I'm in California and I hate the government and nanny-state bull**** and generally hate other Californians.
2009-12-19, 2:35 PM #40
hey dalf, speak for yourself. I'm happy. :p

:D <--See?
