Re: List of happiest States
Totally believeable.
(Says he, sitting in #51. Miserable lot of beggars round here, and I'd like to claim at least a little bit of the credit for that :p) |

Re: List of happiest States
How can you trust a survey that says there are 51 States.
No 37 is not a State |

No 37 is not a State Anyway. In the spirit of science (the real kind, not the AGW kind) let's falsify the hypothesis.
I submit that we've debunked their schema, by means of counterexample. :lol: |

"A new study found that people who report more satisfaction with their lives live in states that score well on things like good schools, low crime and short commuting time, perhaps a first objective look at why some states are happier than others." Good schools and low crime, doesn't sound like Louisiana to me... |

Don't forget, there was a well respected study, some years ago, that showed that people who are as thick as pigshit sail blissfully through life, convinced that they're the best person ever at their job, while folks who are capable of critical thinking worry about things that are not as perfect as they could be and get miserable.

Yeah that's my Mum's theory, "Clever people are never happy". She used to add, "Look at John Lennon", that was before he died though.
