Yes, I was surprised by a few of the stats on some states. If you check out different links in the article, it should lead you to the states with the most longegevity (spelling?), too. I believe that South Carolina has the shortest life expectancy.
It made me happy to see that my state ranked well and so did my neighboring states. I absolutely freeze here in the winter, but at least we're relatively safe.
Yeah you got it half right. But last time I checked climates don't commit crimes. White areas, whether it is a neighborhood or a whole state are statistically safer. It's just so easily provable and observable it's funny that people continue to deny the connection.
I agree that climates don't commit crimes, but I've heard people say that in the beastly hot states such as Texas, crimes are higher. The heat apparently makes the crazies crazier. I know the heat makes me very uncomfortable and sometimes even angry because I dislike it so. Goofy, I know, but it really does.
Of course, Texas if filled with minorities as are most of the hottest states, so we can't compare the heat to crime due to that reason.
Isnt it weird that New Hampshire is the #4 most safest state yet it ranks #1 in Murders #1 in Robbery #6 in Motor Vehicle theft and #8 in Assault,, that must be some type of error
