Well.....there was a survey/study disclosed in 2009 on livescience.com called the 2009 Gallup-Healthways Well Being Index and that ranked the mental well being of those in all 50 states which I guess can be related to happy.....seems that Florida had the 3rd best well being and New Jersey was down at the bottom of the list of well being at #49......but I guess thats no surprise.

Funny you should say that since the ranking released in 2010 has Florida ranked 35th while New Jersey is ranked 29th. Wrong Again.

Tennessee the happiest and sincerest with people from New Jersey being some of the most obnoxious I have ever met. I wouldn't trust them if their foreheads came notarized.

Tennesseeans really aren't that happy, they've just never left their nest to realize there's more out there.

Tennessee generally has some happy people. Southern Alabama, around Mobile, had some really unfriendly, unhappy people. I was down there last week. I didn't expect people to be like that down there.

I don't live and breathe for my city, when I'm mad or sad its because of a personal or social issue, like the loss of a friend, etc. And when I'm happy its because of something good thats going on in my life, or when I'm around the people I love, like my friends and family. People all over the U.S. are happy because of things like that, not because of where they live. No one is attached to there city that much to allow it to mess with there emotions. And as for honesty, that has to do with how you were raised and how you choose to live your life, the city you live in has nothing to do with it.

Is that being part of the problem or solution?, remember "Ignorance is bliss". Thanks for your opinions, buh bye
