Top Ten Least Happy States To Live In

[Saint John]

Pretty much all "blue" states. Can't imagine living around that type of trash would make anyone happy.

Libs are generally miserable people. The rest of us are forced to live under a dope like Jennifer Granholm. That's enough to make anyone depressed.

Yeah, this is pretty much a no brainer. Any party whose base is made up of government dependent leeches that live in crime-ridden, drug-infested, gang-owned shitholes are bound to be miserable. It's just a shame that the liberal left tries to make them feel like it's not their fault and that they are entitled to free medical, free food and a monthly check. Funny story...this obvious crackhead comes up to my fuckin' car about a week ago as I'm exiting the expressway and starts washing my windows at the red light. When he's done I roll down the window and he asks me if I have a "dollah." I ask him if he has change for a fifty and when he says no I say "Well then tough shit!" and pull away with a clean ass windshield. And, no, I don't feel bad about it.

I call BS on that list, at least with the inclusion of Indiana. This state isn't nirvana but I'd certainly say people here are generally happier than other areas of the country that I've lived and spent time in.

Indiana is a very nice state overall. I've seen virtually all of it. Just take out Gary and the surrounding areas like East Chicago and most of Hammond. South Bend is a great fucking town. Indy, despite all of the fags, is decent as well.

Great! Arkansas missed that list. It is both extremes of hot and cold here.

Let me preface my comments by saying I've never had a reason in my life to go anywhere near Arkansas. Hell, I didn't even know people lived there. That said, I'm reasonably confident that Arkansas doesn't have anything close to "extreme cold". The geographic location of Arkansas simply doesn't allow for it. I spent 13 months in North Carolina and it was never remotely close to extreme cold. You southerners wouldn't know cold if it bit you in the ass!

I wouldn't be too confident about that. I've been in Boone, NC at about -15, and with heavy wind. Wind chill was at -50 that day. That was cold, and I doubt the northeast gets any worse than that. We get negative temps here every now and then, and so does Arkansas--I believe. They have some mountains there, and cold usually comes with mountains. Not as often as Boston, but we do get "cold" in the south.

Not as often as Boston, but we do get "cold" in the south.

Right, and the mountains of New England are 60 degrees below zero on the top. I wasn't talking about the mountains. That's a completely different animal. I can promise you that Charlotte North Carolina has NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER been -15 in the history of the city! Cold in the south isn't remotely close to what cold actually is. If you want to know what cold is, spend a winter in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Maine and get back to me. Hell, I had an inground pool at my house in NC and when I called a pool company to inquire about "closing" my pool, the guy laughed at me and said "This is the south...we don't have any need to close our pools here, because it doesn't get cold enough to make it necessary". Now, if you want to talk about your expertise on the topic of ridiculous heat for five straight months, I'll listen!

For the record, I understand that it can get cold everywhere, but in the south, it is NEVER a sustained cold, so it doesn't really count. The coldest month of the year in Charlotte (where I lived) is the month of January. The average high temperature in Charlotte during the month of January is 52 degrees and December, January, and February are the only months that the average temperature gets below 60 degrees. Fuck, if it were 52 degrees in Boston in the middle of January, I'd be at the beach with shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops on!

I've never been to New England, but it can't be any better or worse than the midwest. There is no worse feeling on earth - NONE - than walking across the Michigan Avenue bridge in the middle of January. As if it isn't already -20 with the wind chill, you get the nice added treat when the wind comes in off the lake, scurries up the Chicago River, picks up a nice whirling effect between all the damn skyscrapers, and whoops your ass like you're at Ike Turner's house.

I used to have a 20 minute walk from my office to the train, and that bridge was the worst. Halfway across you're just praying for one of those mother effin' bike messengers to swoop by and put you out of your misery.

We don't get the brutal stuff like the NE on a regular basis, but it does come visit us on occasion. I've seen -15 in Winston-Salem before. That isn't mountains. I figure Charlotte was pretty close. It was the mid 80s, but it HAS happened. Yes, it was cold. Doesn't happen very much, and the winters here are very mild in general. We'll get one marginally cold winter every few years, and the rest of the time it's 60-70 degrees in January. I know a lot of people that think 30 degrees is cold. They don't know what cold is. I think we can agree on this one!

As far as ridiculous heat goes, yes, 5 months of 90 degrees plus with high humidity is pretty unbearable. Of course, I'll defer to a friend who grew up near Akron, OH and moved to New Orleans to get away from the cold. They lasted one year, and moved to Atlanta where it was a little "cooler". Given that, I'm not sure NC really understands ridiculous heat either. Atlanta is as bad--if not worse--than NC is as far as heat goes.

Not surprised to see Hawaii on there... have you ever been there? Those lazy fucks don't know how to work an honest day. I'd be happy if I didn't work and got away with it too!

Maui, you hearin this kid?

I've been to Detroit for Super Bowl XL and it was the most frightening experience of my life walking just along the sidewalks. Gang posse and spray paint everywhere. Shit, I recall seeing two homeless people in weeds having sex outside of a restaurant. Detroit is terrible and the nastiest city I've ever been to.

Detroit is VERY scary. I've never been scared like that in Cleveland and I've made some wrong turns and been in the wrong place a couple times after dark.

But the scariest place I've ever been is without a doubt Akron, OH. A couple months ago I had backstage passes to Todd Rundgren, so we were there late and man was it scary walking out of there. We had thugs surrounding our car as we got in (my uncle, cousin, and me) and we were outnumbered like 35 to 3. Very fuckin scary.

Downtown Baltimore after midnight is by far the scariest city I've ever been to.

Must not live near Gary.

Yep. Driven through it and had more desire to speed up then to stop.

Indianapolis is a great city and if I were forced to move from Cleveland to another city in the Midwest it would without a doubt be Indianapolis. Haven't seen much else of Indy though.

For starters, I love it here. I was born in California and was raised here as a child, moved quite a bit as an adult then returned. I daresay you have no idea about the area except for your massive dislike for anything south of the Mason Dixon line, though you have not experianced it all. Considering your closed mind on the subject it is kind of a lost cause speaking to you on it anyway. Bless your little heart. And I will take back the word extreme. I should say a decent amount of both hot and cold to make it sultry in the summer, and wet and miserable in the winter. And no, I am sure it is much worse where you are. No comparison to be made. I will send you a snuggie if you want to keep you warm. One with a razorback on it .................and a Pig hat.

Now you can keep the extreme cold. And sit and spin on an icicle for all I care. I still wish you a Merry Christmas John, and hope you and your family have the best of holidays.

My typical response to Christmas is "Bah Humbug" because with 2 pharmacists, a nurse, 3 college students, a professional athlete and 2 doctors in my family, someone is always working or out-of-town and our celebration is often weeks late, but I will be uncharacteristically sappy for a minute...

A person can make "home" wherever they are, where they have fond memories and family or just because it's familiar and comfortable. We all have preferences in weather and activities that go along with the climate. If you haven't actually lived in an area, you can't know what the environment is really like. First impressions are just that - a snapshot of something that happened to you, a sight that you liked or didn't like, or a positive or negative interaction with a person or persons. I've had arguments with people about whether this state or that state is better and it's a fruitless argument. "Home is Where the Heart Is" - - see, I told you it would be sappy. You can be happy anywhere if you let yourself, and miserable if you can't see good things around you every day.

It doesn't even matter when you celebrate a particular holiday, but who you're with when you celebrate it.

Ugh, forgive me while I puke. Time to go listen to some music.

I've been to Youngstown, Ohio and that has an eerie feeling as well. Just all around creeped out and seeing the characters who rome the streets. Hell, I felt more safe walking the Vegas streets at 4 in the morning back in March when we all attended the Journey concert with my brother grabbing a sandwich than walking Youngstown in the clear day. Ohio all around is just a mess.
