they must have worse blood pressure in DE. :shrug: I like how Grand Rapids and Boston are 38 and 39. I always knew massholes and MI pricks were pretty equal.

That study is seriously flawed. The demographic for blood pressure is far too wide to be of use as there are so many unhealthy retirees down here to escape the snow, etc. , and what does traffic congestion have to do with being angry? They'll have to demonstrate that correlation much better before I'll give that study a grain of validity.
Data that identifies assaults that are a result of traffic incidents, domestic & other assaults, dissorderly conduct statistics (all based on percentage of population), would all be of much more use in such a study. Traffic congestion just because you THINK there MIGHT be a correlation? Give me a break!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

yeah I agree. These study things are always junk IMO.
They're more like tabloid entertainment than helpful scientific research in my mind.

Has more to do with a proper up-bringing. Plenty of friendly folks down here, transplants & natives. Unfortunately, the loud obnoxious ones get the attention.

I can say from living in Orlando for a year, that it is an angry city. I remember hearing a lot of stories on the news of random assaults and extreme road rage involving shootings for small traffic inconveniences.  I can also say from living in Detriot (#3) for a year, that it's filled with unpleasant and up-tight people. (SE-MI mob feel free to disagree) But now that I live in Nashvile (#5), I can't say that I think it's very angry at all. Pretty nice folks in general.  I would pretty much assume that citizens of any 'big city' will have a certain amount of stress due to traffic, because traffic sucks in all big cities. Orlando's traffic sucks just as bad as it does in big cites, but it's not a big city at all. It's population is about equal to, or even slightly less-than Fort Wayne IN. People may be angry because it's hellaciously hot and humid, and their roofs get blown off once a year by hurricanes.  Or maybe because they have cocroaches the size of small children.

I agree. New York City is not on the list? Why, because it is not politically correct after 9/11?

What do you expect? I live there. I'd like to thank all the crap drivers in the city that helped aid in my high blood pressure. Actually the reason it's hgiher here is because of all the MI fatties. I don't think I'd call GR and angry city.
