KD in CA Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Nothing breed happiness like the Big Apple! 49. New Jersey 50. Connecticut 51. New York Seriously, almost every state in the top 20 has one thing in common: No big cities. Now look at the states with Boston, DC, Philly, Chicago, LA, NYC, etc. Depressing indeed.

Typical TBD Guy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Nothing breed happiness like the Big Apple! 49. New Jersey 50. Connecticut 51.

A lot of those states near the top also happen to have the lowest high school and college graduation rates. Ignorance is bliss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortured Soul Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Seriously, almost every state in the top 20 has one thing in common: No big cities. Now look at the states with Boston, DC, Philly, Chicago, LA, NYC, etc. Depressing indeed. Because according to the study, population density is inversely correlated to happiness.

evilbuffalobob Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Cows don't pay taxes. Neither do the scumbags we support whom suck off the system. Oh wait... they do pay tax on their smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be unhappy too if I was constantly subject to the taxes in this nation's greatest Socialist Welfare State. Well, that...and the general lack of sunshine.

Uh, by 'scumbags' don't you mean Democratic/ Progressive baffoons who keep making moves to increase OUR taxes while they consistently find ways not to pay their own?

FloridaSnow Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 They count DC as a state? Thats odd considering its not a state..... Don't shoot the messenger. They mention it just above their list. I'm guessing they didn't want to discount the area from their study. I would have liked to see them include US territories too. Not that I place much faith in this study, it just would have been interesting to see where they fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
