Totally meaningless information. You obviously don't understand statistics and the use of statistics to develop valid conclusions.

Your post is about as useful as saying that since 99% of all car accidents involve people wearing shoes, you should drive barefoot.

We're comparing divorce rates of 9.1% to 14.7%. Not much a difference here.

Taken alone it's actually a really interesting book from an ancient literature standpoint. I'm a Christian personally, but even for non-Christians (or non-Jews) it's still got a lot of interesting stories, and frankly, I like the poetry.

Just look at all the political sex scandals and the overwhelmingly come for the GOP and other "family values" conservatives.
You ARE right out of your mind aren't you.....

JFK, Bill Clinton, Grover Cleveland, what's his face 400 dollar hair cuts cheated on wife while she was kicked to the curb for breast cancer! Your' frukin nuts.

last time i checked NH was in the center of New England and i am for sure conservative and i probably have one of the strongest 1 man to 1 woman marriages in the state if not the nation. I am told so often, and my wife also says this it true and i don't care what you say or even think....

Liberalism is a disease and it makes people like you stupid and so stupid you don't know how stupid you are because you can't and because you allowed yourself to become sick!

I could go on and list a zilion lefties who all cheated on their wives, but i am too dammned angry to think straight after reading this line of your BS!

Oh Hell it's about NJ which isn't even a northeastern state! It is a mid Atlantic state. The next thing you people will post is the New York is a part of New England

It's probably a good bet most of you don't even know where Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine IS.....

These red state/blue state threads that keep being posted demonstrate more about the OP's lack of knowledge of research and critical thinking than they demonstrate about either the red state or the blue state. There are alread some posts here pointing out the flaws just as there are in each thread like this one. However, I'm sure some people will continue on to discuss it as though the conclusions about red versus blue were valid - despite the fact that the article doesn't even make that claim.

And people still want to pretend Conservatism promotes morality and family values and liberals are nothing but immoral heathens.

Things like this are doing nothing for America but putting different groups agaisnt each other even more. A my group is superior to your group mentality . Why is this even looked at from a political standpoint? There are so many factors that come into play with marriage. Might as well ask what the divorce rate is for Independent voters that are Jewish and have 2 children and went to colleges that were rivals and one is a vegan and one is overrweight but, both are dog lovers and both hate their mother-in-law.
