American sins

I don't know the validity of any of this, but its atleast fun if you take it at face value..

Like.. I live in CT.. We're greedy?.. No E36 M3?

(edit: sad too)....

No surprise that America's whang is solidly in the red, I suppose.

The definitions they use are way off base, so there's not much validity.

Someone just got paid to play with numbers and a map.

Seven deadly sins and Kansas City can't score for even one of them. It's like watching the Chiefs play.

I knew this was going to happen. Somebodies got a case of the monday's.....

West Texas is the captial of gluttony?!?

WNC can't get any respect for any thing....... just outside of the red in all the categories except for fast food joints...

Probably all those small towns with Dairy Queens as the only restaurant. They serve some pretty good full meals if you like chicken fried steak, but get counted as fast food. So, one restaurant, few people, per capita ... off the chart.

Yeah, we're heavy on the lust down here in the South.

Just looks like a bunch of population density maps to me.

yes, it is funny. after noticing that i can definitely say its lost all validity lol.

Its a pretty cool idea to do that though, even if i believe its a little off.

You know, now that i think about it. There are a TON of bible banging folk around here. All of them claim this and that and are very... hmm... we'll say, "righteous".

I have been talked down to about religion before, I dont know if its because I'm kind of a relaxed Catholic (Ha ha, what catholic isnt?) and im not on my soapbox 24/7 or what but... It does get old. Especially when most of those who have talked down to me and act very "righteous", are about as contradictory as can be.

And by no means am i against organized religion, this is just something I've noticed more and more lately.

Anyone else notice this?

it is interesting that the Bible belt ranks high on all the sin maps...LOL.

I too think someone slapped some maps and numbers together.

Central PA: Greed and Sloth !!!

Gotta love it.

This backs up everything I think. I moved to Charlotte, NC from CT many years ago. People are just whacked out of their friggin minds around here. There are many nice, friendly people, but an abnormal amount of crazy idiots as well.

Yup! Same up here in NYC! It's the only place that I can think of that probably has health clubs where members have enough money to PAY somebody to run on a treadmill for them.

And wow, Florida. You guys suck. Or rule. I'm not really sure. You're on all but two maps and nobody is on those two.
