The top 10 most-stressed states in America​

  1. Tennessee
  2. Alabama
  3. Oklahoma
  4. Louisiana
  5. Nevada
  6. South Carolina
  7. Georgia
  8. Arizona
  9. West Virginia
  10. Indiana

Yes, there are red states that have violent crime, etc. That's stressful. On the other hand, there are a lot of diversity in these states, which could cause stress. Different cultures can cause tension.

Utah is the happiest state because they DONT have to care about race, politics, etc. They have a homogenous life.

The Mormon church is fucking evil. Whatever happiness they have in Utah I don't want a part of it.

Canyon lands and Arches are absolutely fucking amazing and Moab is a pretty nifty little place tucked between the two.

Utah isn't all Salt Lake City (place honestly looks like an alien planet) or Provo or whatever.

It's one of the top most beautiful states in the country in regards to natural beauty destinations. Top three. Without a doubt.

I don't think that's what the majority of survey respondents are out there being happy about, a big chunk of that are brainwashed Mormons. While I'm sure there are some folks there living just for the natural access and outside of the Mormon cult and quite happy, I don't think those folks are the foundation of this happiness survey.

Why don't you move to Utah? Preferably somewhere without internet.
What is wrong with the notion that people that experience an environment with the characteristic of homogeneity of race might be happier than places full of racial tension? I am betting that places of great racial and other kinds of diversity would be happier still were it not for the fact that hatred of difference and fear of other races has become a widespread disease?

You talk of evil as though it were something real. All it is is conditioned stupidity. Racism is a form of self imposed misery that liberal places like large cities, because of constant exposure to difference, gets slowly abraded away. Live in an African village for a while and see how long it is before you stop swatting flies. Racial bigotry is conditioned and then self maintained up till the price of maintenance become more intolerable than the racism itself.

Oh look who is back. The man who wants to shake Nazi hands and talk to them about their self-hate while they gas his village.

I am not against an environment with racial homogeneity. They exist and happen and are not inherently bad.

Where I don't agree with it, is when people promote it because of racism and all they see is race, like this fucknut. Sorry that was lost on you, but not surprised in the slightest.

Speaking of lost on you.......... Are you still drawing gales of laughter wearing one green and one orange shoe. You know, I hope, you do that because you are evil, right?

I have been told Utah is a bit of a two tier state, same as where I grew up.

People are either part of the original families, or not. The original "tribe" controls the government, etc and just gets away with things, different set of rules, gets the contracts, gets the loans, gets zoning rules waved, etc.

The church is just another layer on top of that, doubling down on it.

Roughly a dozen U.S. states in the lower left quadrant look decent, when compared to Mississippi.


Poor and sick, all the hallmarks of a great conservative state. But hey, for their lack of wealth and health they do get permission to hate on their fellow Americans. That’s the kind of permission a conservative will pay for every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

It is stressful to be poor, stupid, and have no options. Especially when your idea of "entertainment" is listening to people rage all day everyday.

So how do you explain West Virginia? If it is a diversity issue, where are New York and Florida?

Oklahoma also isn't that diverse.

They don't have to think or care about racism, etc. Not much blacks around in UT.
Where would you banish people like me so you fucking jackasses don't have to overtly display your hateful racism?

Once we are gone that will only leave gay and trans people to hate.

Please they'll never run out of people to hate. American history is full of whites hating other white groups too. And even if whites are too mixed up to hate just the Irish, etc, there will always be hate for anyone with slightly different religious views.

Don't fret. The ones with six fingers will go after the digit deprived having confused deprived with depraved.

I think you answer the second quote with the first. The whole idea of ranking states by stress is probably most about stimulating the same kind of emotions that create happiness in the first place. Give me some state I don't live in to feel better about myself by having some other place to look down on. The economy is built on catering to all of the fears, needs, and weaknesses we experience living with unconscious self hate. Self dissatisfaction is the origin of unhappiness and the stress it creates. It produces a self defeating attitude.

The way out, of course, is enlightenment, the realization that thought and imagination create the mental landscape we call reality and that buying into that as reality is all that mental illness really is. Denial of this inner truth is done to shield us from pain but the result is the numbness of depression and hopelessness. A festering wound in the soul won't heal unless it receives the light of conscious awareness. To heal is to feel. Our culture is by motivation unaware of these facts. Miserable people do not want truth expressed as they are themselves unwilling to embrace it and are filled with contempt at the idea that somebody else might get free. Misery loves company.

West Virginia is methhead central....it does not have to be necessarily diverse for there to be stress, but it is significantly one of the reasons why.

NY and FL may not be stressed while being diverse because those states are attractive tourist places and there are a lot of self-segregation there.

NYC is the most diverse----AND segregated city in America. Racist anti-Black Italians like the Gottis live in Howard Beach, Queens, and on the other side is heavily Black East New York, Brooklyn.

Same thing with Florida----people self-segregate despite the tremendous diversity.

Black people hate too, like every other group. Racism is not necessarily "hate". They say it is natural to favor your own group, there is no "racism" in Utah because there are no minorities around to dislike.....it's a homogenous monocultural white state.

So it couldn't possibly be that your thesis is flat out wrong? Everywhere I've ever been in NYC or central to south Florida is far more diverse than where I've been in any of those states on the list, except Atlanta.

Oklahoma is meth central as well......progressives shouldn't be bashing these states, because these states have a lot of Indigenous people----the precious Native Americans that some one the Left like to bash white males about......Dems should try to win Indigenous states like the Dakotas, Montana, Oklahoma, instead of attacking it as "flyover" country because of how rural whites are.
