Jersey is a shiathole.

All of the places I have lived are at the top and bottom of the list.

Yup, I meant "I figured correctly", I laughed that MN is pretty much exactly in the middle.

I wouldn't mind moving to a warmer state at this point in my life, though most of the states in the top 10 don't really appeal. Apparently I'd rather move to a state where I'd be around a bunch of unhappy people.

However, the happiest people on earth are from Denmark. Isn't the weather pretty sh*tty there? Doesn't their diet consist of rotten fish as*hole of some such nonsense?

I'm calling shenanigans.

The happiest Americans probubly live in Alaska or Guam.

The highest are generally at the bottom and the lowest are generally at the top.

There is your correlation.

I read your post in an accent like the sheriff from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die (iirc). Ga-hyik-hyik, heah come Junebug, he got got da fas'es boat on da Bayou! (Black guy roars by in Junebug's boat).

I'm from Illinois, dumbass. It's nice here in Chicago, but the 10.25% sales tax is killing everyone right now. I'm thinking of moving to Wisconsin.

P.S. Thanks for insinuating I'm a racist douchebag. Have a nice day.

I guess everyone's definition of "happy" is a little different.

How the hell did Utah get so low on that list? Did they interview some hermits or something? Because everyone I've meet from there is incredibly happy, and while down there, you'd need to be looking to start something if you're trying to get them to express a different emotion.

The other one that baffles me is how anywhere is lower than Michigan, especially right now. I mean, just how shiatty is your life if you can't be as satisfied with it as someone who has winded up over there?

Happiness and contentment are two different things. To be human and happy is insanity. To be content is not giving a rat's ass about raping and killing that girl in 1990.

Wow, I'm impressed... Isn't it difficult to think that all people from Louisiana are racist hicks, and then complain about racism? Or maybe some folks are just incapable of realizing that their own brand of prejudice is the same as the one they whine about?

BTW, Louisiana does not consist of just New Orleans and the swamp, regardless of what the movies show. Try to fit that into your tiny little mind.
