Sandy is the anti-Seagoon in terms of politics and length of posts.

huh?  Shouldn't you be in school or something?  Post something w/ substance or go away.

Thars a Democratic White House for what.... 12 of the last 40 years?

Well there was Jimmy Carter and yes, he was a disaster, an embarrassment(and continues to be). If your memory fails you I can give you examples.  Then there's Clinton another disaster and embarrassment(he's a fine statesman and does not continue to make an arse of himself like Carter).  If your memory fails you, I can give you examples.

Brevity is key. I find that long posts are more likely to get pulled off on an irrelevant tangent.

Plus, who the heck reads those long ones anyway? Can you say boring? Wanna be read, keep it to two paragraphs tops.

Actually  the more useful information is at the end of the page:

"The National Center for Health Statistics recently released a report which found that 43
percent of first marriages end in separation or divorce within 15 years. The study is based on
the National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative sample of women age 15 to
44 in 1995. Bramlett, Matthew and William Mosher. "First marriage dissolution, divorce, and
remariage: United States," Advance Data From Vital and Health Statistics; No.323. Hyattsville
MD: National Center for Health Statistics: 2 1.

"Data in the Census report were collected from both men and women, age 15 and over, and a
different methodology was used than in the NCHS report.

"About 50% of first marriages for men under age 45 may end in
divorce, and between 44 and 52% of women's first marriages
may end in divorce for these age groups. The likelihood of a divorce
is lowest for men and women age 60, for whom 36 % of men
and 32 percent of women may divorce from their first marriage by
the end of their lives. A similar statistical exercise was performed in
1975 using marital history data from the Current Population Survey
(CPS). Projections based on those data implied that about one-third of
married persons who were 25 to 35 years old in 1975 would end their
first marriage in divorce.

"This cohort of people, who in 1996 were about 45 to 55 years old, had
already exceeded these projections as about 40% of men and
women in these ages had divorced from their first marriage. Current
projections now indicate that the proportion could be as high as
50% for persons now in their early forties."

Marriage as an institution is broken in our society, and our solution seems to be to continue to whack at it with a hammer. Sure, it'll survive.

Yeah but you forgot the part where Gay s are the cause of all this divorce.

Those mind control chemicals the goverment puts in the water sure is working on some.        

[lazs2]

what about people who have been divorced multiple times... how do the figure into the statistics?   Some people have been married half a dozen times.   doesn't that kinda tilt the stats?
