One Hundred Very Angry U.S. Cities
Why this list of angry U.S. cities makes me laugh - I don't know? Could it be that Orlando, the very home of Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Mickey Mouse ranks number one for some bizarre reason? Maybe it's because my city (Tampa, FL) ranks 12 and the near by St. Petersburg, FL comes in second? So my first question is this - what's up with all the anger Florida?World Hum points readers to a fine piece from Men's Health focusing on 100 very angry U.S. cities. The ranking was based off factors like percentage of men with high blood pressure, FBI rates of aggravated assaults, Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers on workplace deaths from assaults and other violence in addition to road rage. Whew! With all those ugly factors and Orlando placing tops on the anger totem, some of you may be a little afraid to see where your place of residence ranks. Others may not be so surprised.

Florida's drivers are the worst in the nation. That's why 4 of the top 10 cities are in Florida.

As a native Floridian, I have never had some many unwanted negative responses from total strangers over my 4 year old golden retriever. I will be leaving St. Petersburg in the spring because I really do not want to be around so many unhappy people. My mother always said life is what you make it. I do not own a home or drive a new car but I'm still happy to be alive. Goodbye unhappy people. You are not going to share yor misery with me. Deborah kiefer

A few years back a friend of mine told me Florida ranked number 3 in states with the most gruesome crimes. I don't recall where she got the figure from or where other states ranked, but it's pretty creepy and disturbing to imagine. I never thought St. Petersburg, FL was all that bad either, until I started watching the news and apparently I never go through at night enough.
Oh, Sunshine State!

Some how I'm ammazed with some of the feed back that is negative about Florida. The people we have met after retirement here are wonderful, educated, fun loving, and amazingly friendly without the hoax of pretention. Give Florida a serious consideration, and you'll not regret that experience!
