It is. Princeton is kind of nice (primarily because Princeton University is there), but the vast majority is either urban dump (all of the north), disgusting beachfront cities such as that featured in Jersey Shore and Atlantic City, or dysfunctional and bland rural towns with no geographical character.

You gotta admit though, the happy part must be nice...  (not so much the other two).
I don't know about that - ignorance is bliss....

Instead of guns, you get stabbings instead with Aus and UK.
Can't speak for Aus, but the UK still has significantly lower per capita knife crime rates than the US.

Gun crime in the US is a far higher proportion of homicides - but the differences in the figures are immense. Knife crime in the UK is supposedly a youth phenomenon. Lets look at the homicide figures for the US, UK, France and Germany - for the US the rate is 11/100000, in the UK it is 0.9, in Germany 0.8 and in France 0.6. That's a vast difference. (Latin America averages 36 and Africa 17 BTW)
US homicide rates are 7 per 100k AFAIK. Most of it is either drug or gang related.

I'd interpret that to mean it's fucking awful.

And who says the US is a shitty place to live?

I'm happy
Me too

But the people who took the easy way out when they were younger are now (unsurprisingly) unfulfilled later in life.
You've noticed that too?

I don't rightly see how you came to the conclusion that shitty place to live means someone is going to blow their brains out. That seems far too simple of an explanation for me to buy it.

Piecing together information from more than 100 studies in the growing field of happiness research, a British psychologist has produced what he says is the first world map of happiness.

It ranks 178 countries, with Denmark at the top and the African nation of Burundi at the bottom. The United States comes in 23rd.

“While happiness is intangible, the scales used in these studies are very accurate,” said Adrian White, an analytic social psychologist who is working toward a doctorate at the University of Leicester. “Happiness research is far from an exact science, but it is the best way we have of looking at it.”

White analyzed the data in relation to a nation’s health, wealth and access to education. The United States came in relatively low — beneath Bhutan, Brunei and Canada, among other countries — in large part because of health factors. “You don’t have the highest life expectancy,” he noted.

On a totally unrelated note, The Saturdays covered a Depeche Mode song?
Covered one, used another as background.

But yes, if you're ignorant about how tenuous your fortunate position is, and don't give a shit about anyone elses situation its easy to be happy.
