So let the gays that want to get married do it. That'll boost some numbers.

So people are finally wising up? (DRTFA)

/As usual, I'm ahead of my time. :)

//Marriage is a no win situation.

///ESPECIALLY for the guy.

////You have to be an idiot to agree to a contract whereby you immediately forfeit the rights to 50% of your stuff.

\////Not to mention the whole issue of paying vaginamony for the rest of your life when the marriage ends up falling apart.

\\////And the simple odds are it WILL fall apart.

\\\////Parents have been married 56+ years and are still going strong; currently on a cruise to St. Thomas. God bless 'em.

Been to St. Thomas. Wasn't all that interesting. I think perhaps if I take a trip in the future maybe thailand or somewhere more exotic.

If they're smart, they'll all start lobbying for gay marriage.

O'frothy obviously didn't RTFA, which attributes most of the change to people marrying in their upper 20s rather than low 20s.

And he should also read this gem.

Pew found that college graduates are much more likely to get married. Over two-thirds of graduates are married, while less than half of adults without a college degree are wed.

If Santorum was serious about marriage, he'd make education through college free.

Can anybody translate this from derp to English? What's the retarded logic behind that?

Am I the only one upset at subby for equating rate with number?
 
2011-12-14 10:51:28 PM
What? That's ridiculous. I'm married, so most decent people must also be married. Based on my sample size of 1, there's 100% correlation, so don't try to argue with me.

Just means more bitter, pissed off divorced people on the dating sites.
 
2011-12-14 10:52:02 PM
Really? The number? Not the percentage of the population?

The good former Senator believes that logic should stay out of politics.

I'm not sure divorced women.

I mean, odds are she wouldn't let her ex-husband put it in her pooper, so what are the chances of her letting her date do it?

Are percentages considered rates in your world?

Statistics lie. What about the number of married children???
 
2011-12-14 10:55:55 PM
I was married once. That's an experiment I will never attempt again.

/me and my hand are quite happy, thank you.
 
2011-12-14 10:56:07 PM
No shocker. People used to get married and pop out kids soon after high school. Things have progressed that most young people are waiting.

The answer is in your question: no logic; he's retarded.

As I learned in research methods the size of your 'n' doesn't really matter.

Wait...there was something about the quality of your 'n' though...

Is this the thread in which I complain about the superiority of non-married folks?

/ Happily married to the woman I've been with for 11 years
// My parents have been happily married for ~40 years
/// Just because your marriage doesn't work doesn't mean nobody's marriage will work
//// Think way too many people get married much too quickly
// Nearly all of the couples I've known that have gotten engaged after only 6 mo of dating or gotten married before their 22nd/23rd birthday have ended up divorced

subby: The number of married adults in America is at an all-time low

TFA: The percentage of married Americans has fallen to record lows

Good job, dumbass. Back to 5th grade math you go.

The women usually make at least make two solid paragraphs out of it. When I was dating I made a practice to read them then go on.

Stubby subby wrote "number" -- look at the top of your browser.

well i'd marry my turtle but some stick-in-the-mud republican politicians are keeping that from happening by blocking gay marriage.

That part is a liberal MSM media lie. Colleges are just there to indoctrinate our children with radical leftist nonsense, and the far left gay agenda is what is tearing this country apart in the first place

why would we send our children to some liberal college when they'll just be corrupted into Obama's war on American values?

A university you can't afford, working on their Mrs.

Gwendolyn: So let the gays that want to get married do it. That'll boost some numbers.

Considering what a mockery we straights have made of the institution of marriage (myself included), I figure why not let the gay community participate in the joy of marriage excruciating pain of divorce.

FirstNationalBastard: So, people are getting smarter?

Heard more about this somewhere else. A big part of it is that men are no longer able to support families at a young age. These days, many men never become able to support a family at all. Women aren't interested in marrying men who can't provide for them, and the logical result is a decline in and delay of marriage. Thus, it is the capitalistic economic system, more than any other force, which undermines American family values.

You can be either a Christian, or a Republican. You cannot be both. You cannot serve both God and Mammon.

I thought Marriage was an institution.

And usually, you have to be crazy to be institutionalized.

Well I was gonna get married, but then I found out that gay people do it, so no way...I don't want anyone thinkin' I'm a queer.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Sax solo

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
