Happiest state?
 
In the article note where the US is rated versus the world. Wonder why you don't see Iraq, Pakistan, Afganistan and all those other places the US uses drones to "protect the citizens" listed:rolleyes:.

Huffington post article, happiest states

No surprises in regards to where the states stack up.

Interesting. I had a guy from Mississippi tell me that residents of his state were statistically happiest (along with fattest and dumbest) according to some numbers he'd seen.

Everyone in CT is to busy working hard to pay lots of taxes.

I see Indiana is near the bottom in the color code but I also note that the differences are not really dramatic from top to bottom....5.9 ish versus 6.4 ish. I also looked at states by their political leaning and found some Democratic states high and some low. And the battleground states were equally diverse in their happy word count.

Hmmm, I wonder if it is coincidental the states which rank as "happiest" are states which have relaxed marijuana laws?:D:D:D:rolleyes:

I call the results of this survey into question. Not sure I can see how CT wouldn't be in the darkest of categories.

Look at the methodology. It's a Twitter dragnet for "words of unhappiness." CT has a lot of New Yorkers and ex-New Yorkers. New Yorkers complain a lot, even if they're not actually less happy than their friends in California.

Best you all go read "How to Lie With Statistics", then you will understand how to interpret all this BS.

Best not say too much though as Australia is 1/2 a point in front of the US !! You can all continue to suffer !! :D:D

At first blush, it appears the Countries with more Socialism are happier in this charting criteria ~ however the data was procured/cooked with respondents??
