In reply to the discussion: California is the most hated state in America! [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)I'm not surprised by the results of this survey at all. It wouldn't be hard for anyone to move to California if they wanted to, would it? And I'm sure these same folks saying everyone else is jealous are shocked (SHOCKED!!) that a Southern state didn't reign supreme though Mississippi did come close.

When I was growing up it always seemed that every serial killer, serial rapist or other assorted loony either started in or wound up in California. Between the earthquakes, mud slides and serial killers, I always though you'd have to be a stone cold psychopath to live anywhere in California. Of course as you get older, you realize the rest of the country has contributed more than its fair share of serial killers and other assorted lunatics but that first view of California has always kind of colored how I perceive the state.
Yeah, there's a revelation there.
