Why is Florida the sweaty ballsack of america?

I mean, I love visiting florida despite the sticky weather. I love how beautiful the skys can be. I love that the Bahamas are right there. I love Disneyworld and the fact that NASA is there.

But holy shit there are some crazy people there:

Man burns underwear at Starbucks

There's even a subreddit called /r/FloridaMan because there is always some batshit crazy news headline like "Florida man charged after trying to hide nearly 100 heroin pills in his butt", or "Florida man arrested for tossing gator into a Wendy's, and Florida isn't that sexist so ""Florida woman crashes car while shaving her genitals."

Yes these are real headlines. WTF Florida? Why do you attract crazies?

My theory is that the lack of state income tax makes Florida a super attractive place to live so the crazies come running. But what about Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, & Wyoming? Why is there a disproportionate amount of crazy news coming out of Florida rather than these states?

There must be more to it than the state income tax.


EDIT: By the way, I'm not making up the "Sweaty Ballsack" name. I've heard it countless times before. Sometimes Florida is America's diseased penis, it's America's asshole, America's Wang etc etc:

"Florida is America's basement. It's wet, it's filled with mold, the strange insects... alligators... alligators are dinosaurs, Dwight! You knew that right?"

It's been 1 year since moving to FL for me and I agree.

Moving from Canada, I thought it was an American thing that it just seems like people who you deal with are just plain stupid and lack any ability to think or use common sense. I have no other way to explain the nonsense shit I've had to deal with from doing simple things like getting a mortgage, getting work done on your house, any government office, etc. But then, people tell me it's not America as a whole, just FL.

It's probably the state income + weather combined that attracts the crazies/retirees.

Actually to be clear it's actually South Florida that has the bad rep from what I hear, I think other parts may not be as bad.

9 time out of 10 whenever I see a crazy/weird news story it takes place in Florida.

For one it is very transient which brings a ton of weirdos. Two, the laws on releasing info on arrests/apprehension of suspects is very open allowing media to obtain news stories to attract attention.

Having living in Florida for some years it's more the former than latter. Too many people escape from issues and end up down here thinking life will be different only to discover it isn't.

Too many Gator fans skew the perception the wrong way.

Wasn't Florida also the epicentre of the whole bath salts craziness the other year?

Coming from the great white north I must agree with much of what's said. If I hear something crazy in America - I instantly assume Florida.

There's a reason most of the crazy shit you read about takes place in Florida.

It's stupid easy for the public to access police reports so reporters just comb through that to find really hilarious and crazy shit.

In reality, it's probably no more fucked than any other state.

Florida does have the one distinct feature where it becomes more southern the farther north you go.
