The worst layout I've ever seen in a press release.
Objective Confirmation of Subjective Measures of Human Well-Being: Evidence from the U.S.A.
Guess where I am from..and I am happy. I know lots of happy people, too. How come nobody asked me?
Oh no!
You mean high taxes, massive regulations, coddling terrorists, failing school systems, arrogant elitist politicians and widespread corruption make people miserable?
Who’d of thought it?
Mukasey may challenge Gillibrand The AG's son
Giuliani Decides Against a Run for the Senate
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Yeah, but how much did it drop after Hillary moved there?
Well, I was conceived in NY and I ain’t happy. Does that count ?
That's why.
Well, I just came from visiting there about ten days ago and I'm happy. Does that mean anything. ;-)
First Place in Taxes = Last place in happiness.
Oh does my tagline apply.I love posting that.
California ranked third from worst.
Blue states suck because liberals are miserable mean spirited people.
Folks there can be incredibly rude...some ethnic-religio groups worse than others....whining is acceptable
but some folks I liked a lot...like hardcore Italians all over from downtown to Brooklyn...the Irish...the Greeks
and WASPy Manhattan folks even if liberal were at least interesting...think Surf Club...pretty girls too if you liked pearls
but some folks there I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire
I fear it's not their fault...big cities just become less folksy and friendly...although I never found rural Vermont too warm spirited either
my daughter brought her Hudson Valley beau down this past weekend to rural Tennessee for a visit with us....he was floored by how warm everyone was here...even waiters and stuff...I warned him though that even if you take our black crime that folks down here are much quicker to kill one another over a slight than what he is used to and if someone gets in his face it is not just more hollering like in New York...down here it means to get ready.
he wants to move here....a solid young Italian cracker from Cornwall who knows what time it is culturally, he thinks he will fit in better here
I agree, Yankees like him we need more of here..
New York should cast out New York City if it wants to be happier.
That's an understatement, but its liabilities are starting to overrun its assets. It's "interesting times" in worst sense.
Libs are miseries...and the Mets didn’t help this year.
Gee...you description sounds like New Jersey. I wonder where NJ stood in that list? Probably 48th-49th.
Easy to be happy here when you got friendly people.
I rather be in New York right about now because I like Christmas in NY. Otherwise, people are the same everywhere I go.
that is a good point...Manhattan ..especially the nice parts are very Christmas(y) despite being so Jewish.
aren’t you in like east PA now?
Merry Christmas.
