Don't exaggerate, Phoenix miserably hot for 7 months 4 months maybe.
December, January and February aren't the only brutal cold months in Minneapolis, they suck the most i agree but March and November with temperatures of just above 40F in the day and around 25F in the night is still brutal cold imo.
LOL. 40ºF is "brutal cold"? That's the temperature inside your refrigerator. If that's brutally cold for you, then do you prefer to drink your beverages lukewarm?
I can guarantee you that 99.5% of all humans would absolutely say that temps over 100ºF are god-awful. No one likes heat like that unless they're mentally ill or a reptile.
You might want to re-think your percentage. Many nations in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia not only live in temps like those for a good part of the year, but thrive in those places. Maybe the euro-centric snow worship climate isn't the measure by which we should judge all climates, maybe.

No, I like my drinks to be cold but not the air temperature
What's evident here is the fact that you are unable to follow a fairly simply comparison. People moving to an area isn't surefire evidence of the area being "more livable" as contended. I pointed out that the state with the highest in-migration (North Dakota) would, under this "logic," be the most "livable" state in the Union. I think most of us can agree that this is not the case, ergo the original comparison made = silly.
Keeping up yet?
The only thing evident is that you're making fauly assumptions on multiple levels. As I stated earlier, I'm not interested in keeping up with ignorance, so again, later.

A poster said the proof that a state was "more livable" was that there was more in-migration than another state; I pointed out that North Dakota had more in-migration than the "more livable" state (and every other one in the country), so by the poster's logic, North Dakota is either A) the most "livable" state in the country or B) the in-migration extrapolation was bunk to start with.
^ How can you not understand this? I'm being completely serious.

Most of the people living in those regions of the world are hopelessly impoverished and don't have the means to leave, so that wouldn't be a very good gauge for measuring what people in those regions think is ideal. I very much doubt people who have to sleep under wet bedsheets at night (this is a common Egyptian method for staying cool) are thinking "wow, isn't this pleasant!"

You're right. Everyone secretly thinks like you whether they admit it or not.
