A study conducted by Men's Health magazine has found that Orlando, Fla., ranks No. 1 on a list of the angriest cities in the nation.
"Orlando has never been a strategic military target, and yet the folks there are furious," the magazine said.
The magazine looked at the percentage of men with high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FBI rates for aggravated assaults, as well as workplace deaths from assaults and other violence.
Those numbers were compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Traffic congestion data were also a factor.
Orlando was joined in the top 10 by three other Florida cities -- St. Petersburg, Miami and Jacksonville.

Your right. How many other cities on the list have fans who would throw things at Santa Claus.
That alone qualifies Philly for a top ten finish.
LOL! That's true. ;-)
Yes. You want to see anger? Just watch your typical parents having to deal with their younguns on an all-day pass after they fought to park their mini-tank in that one "compact only" spot left open. Toss in 95-degree temps and 95% humidity. Why, they're ready to rip Mickey's head off by the time they leave to get back on the interstate.
L.A., CA is only number 36!! Must be good drugs.

It is interesting that you say this.
Nashville is #5. Nashville has been a popular destination for yankees in the last 15+ years. I have family that work in the mental health sector here. The former yankees make up a large percentage of consultations and admissions. Following them are spanish speaking immigrants.
Growth brings more than prosperity.
There is a terrible error in this list that makes it totally unbeleivable....
Where is NEW ORLEANS?? I looked three times and did not see N.O. Do you realize how pissed Nagin and Blanco will be when they are told that N.O. was not on this list?
Someone needs to be stood in the corner for this grevious error...

I still can't believe the media run these type of pseudo-stories.
