Want to increase your chance of divorce? just be a religiously conservative Protestant

[Saint Frankenstein]

What? In the U.S. of A?

It's got to be at least shotguns loaded with rock salt. (painful but self healing).
Or at worst AR15s !

I'm very uncomfortable around guns, so I guess I'm not actually an American.

Nah....! ..... bit of old rock-salt won't kill ya..... it'll bloody hurt though.

I rather prefer not to use them on people. Not sportin' enough.

Than the West Coast and the Pacific Northwest would have the highest divorce rates.

Note that Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, etc aren't in the mix.
But Wisconsin is, & it's quite the pinko state....hardly a hotbed of fundamentalism.

The correlation shows up better when you go county by county -- as Skwim did in post number 7.

I'd expect that to make more sense than a state by state attempt.

Btw, in Revoltingistan there's never been a divorce.
I attribute this to lush grounds.

You know what the leading number one cause for divorce is?

Having been shot full in the *** with rock salt not once, but in fact twice, (slow learner) I speak from experience when I say it is much better to get hit with a salt rock round from an AR-15 than from a 12 gauge.

 

[Skwim]

Can we all please stop talking about guns and rock salt, and get back to the subject at hand: Unbridled SEX. . . . . . or lack thereof.

Thanks,

I do.
It is....

Marriage​

If that were true, Colorado would have the highest divorce rate in the country. Instead, we have the highest per capita rate of falling off cliffs.

I just heard that the average marriage last 1.4 years in Colorado Springs (the worst in the nation) and the average job in CS lasts 1.7 years. Yep, the OP nailed it.

Me got it just the once. I was lucky cos it did not penetrate my jacket (long range). Hurt? OMG.......

--------------------------------------

Now..... back to all them friggin' folks getting divorced everywhere.
But, honestly, Couldn't Jennifer Glass have have done something more wonderful with her summer break, or whatever, than trawl up all this snail-dung about conservative fundamentalist folks' bloody neighbours getting divorced? Did she publish this goblins-snot on April 1st or something?

Does this mean that because we get visited by JWs that my Missus is goin' to do a midnite runner with that nutter who lives across the way?

Bloody so called scientists...........

This is because of the water....... or it might be the air...... but...... By Jesus?

I wonder whether they all get remarried? I bet they don't do splashy-out weddings 2nd, 3rd and 4th time round........

OMG yes.
And it hurt again every time I broke out into a sweat...

The second time I sat in a cold bath.
It hurt like hell till I passed out.
But (no pun intended) the second time I did not hurt every time I broke a sweat.

Of course........ I never thought of that, sweat causing the whole thing to start up again, never experienced that... because my jacket did stop it.

There are less painful was to take the plunge.

Colorado Springs hosts: Fort Carson, NORAD, Schiever AFB, Peterson Field AFB, Air Force Academy, Focus on the Family, New Life Church and more than 100 other Evangelical Christian groups.

I wonder whether they all get remarried?

Don't know, but I imagine some do.

I bet they do. :yes:

Worse in the nation. Jeebers. Well, given we have over 300 religious non-profit organizations in town, and that tens of thousands of Evangelicals have flocked here lured by the promise of a "New Jerusalem in the Rockies", I'd say it's only natural marriages here should last less long than jobs.

Evangelicals would do well to quit spending so much time disapproving of everyone else's marriages, and spend a whole lot more time improving their own.

My Dad had a theory about another correlation: the nicer the garden, the worse the marriage. He figured that if one of the spouses spends the time to plant flowers, trim bushes, and manicure the lawn to make it immaculate, there's a good chance that it's because he or she is avoiding the other spouse.

Au contraire! For some of us, avoidance of one's long suffering spouse lifts her spirits.
Moreover, a successful relation ship is enhanced by planting her favorites.
It's worked for 35 years for me.
