I think rubato has hijacked your ID.

Gee Joe, you're gonna give rube an orgasm...

That's some website; like fox news for the left of center (or people who believe they are).

the" typically an indicator" part is pretty subjective...

a lo of those stats had to come from sex predators

Sex predators can be married too....

But are the people that live in these states happy and content?
One can take a bunch of metrics to define "miserable" but it does not tell you if the people/communities in those state are miserable.

I know people who have next to nothing and outsiders would think they are miserable, where in fact they are very happy and content.

bingo!

God was going around creating the earth with all the majestic mountains, verdant forests, waterfalls and lakes. When he got to Texas he got tired and went to rest. When he came back the ground had hardened into an ugly barren scrub and he couldn't make all of the beautiful things he had made before. Then he said "I know, I'll make people who like it this way."

From the David Byrne movie "True Stories".

texas isn t really southern, except in latitude. they are a little too law and order for my tastes. I hear Austin is different. oh and china grove from the doobie bros song, wherever that is...

And if the joke was meant to use Texas as a particular example which one might generalize from ......



yrs,

Yeah, Texas is horrible. No scenery...



Noplace to hike or bike...



And no history...

I really don't get how people can deride a whole state. I am not particularly fond of NY (or LI) but there are parts of the state I like, adirondacs, catskills, fingerlakes, etc. even places here on Long Island.

I've been to Texas and other than being pretty flat overall, I liked the parts I visited. All the people I met were very nice even to this "northerner".
Painting with a broad brush misses the details.

Honestly...I am having a hard time coming up with ANYTHING good to say about Rhode Island.

Nope...it's a cesspool.

I read once that japan dismissed the thought of invading via mexico, thru texas, because they said that thjere was gun behind every bush. not sure if its true....

Texas? Isn't that a Bush behind every gun?
