America's Angriest Cities

TurfPro · 08-15-2006, 09:35 PM

A study conducted by Men's Health magazine has found that Orlando, Fla., ranks No. 1 on a list of the angriest cities in the nation.

"Orlando has never been a strategic military target, and yet the folks there are furious," the magazine said.

The magazine looked at the percentage of men with high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FBI rates for aggravated assaults, as well as workplace deaths from assaults and other violence.

Those numbers were compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Traffic congestion data were also a factor.

Orlando was joined in the top 10 by three other Florida cities -- St. Petersburg, Miami and Jacksonville.

I am a bit surprised by some cities on the list -- what do people have to be angry about in San Diego or Honolulu?

Four Florida cities in the top 10. Guess where I dont plan on moving anytime soon, LOL.

They must still be mad about the 2000 election, not to mention their NFL and MLB teams.

Wilmington, Del.

I don't care that I may be showing lack of knowledge by saying I've never even heard of this place. Maybe that's why they're so angry. Nobody knows or cares

Damn...I've lived in a few of those cities. Detroit, Orlando, Tampa/St Pete and just outside of Wilmington, in Chester Co., Pa., and have been to all the rest for extended periods. Wonder if it has anything to do with me? Nah, I'm one a the good guys. St Louis, on the other hand, I can see being on the list due mainly to Turfy living there. LOL

Wilmington is just south of Philly, on 95. The DuPonts and Banking. And a crack problem. Half the Fortune 500 is incorporated there, including a lot of credit card companies. Though I'd have ta say, Philly has a bunch more anger. Guess they were too scared to put the "City of Brotherly Love," on the list and find out what real anger is. The reason O-Town is on the list is 'cause Disney just raised prices again.

I would've guessed Chicago. Hell, you get in a car accident there and the neighborhood will beat you to death.

I spoke to a friend of mine tonight that lives near Tallahassee and mentioned that FL had 4 in the top 10...he named the exact 4 before I could get the list out of my mouth...he mentioned they are very attitudal there - "attitudal, my made up word"....
Now what does that tell you about FL and the people who live there
