Utah/Statistical claims/Pornography use in Utah - FairMormon
One of the reasons Utah outranks other states in this area is that the only way a person in Utah can purchase porn is online. The sources available to people from other states (i.e. retail outlets, etc.) are not available in Utah. Things have a way of balancing out.

Utah tests 100% of their students. Only twelve states test 100% of their students, and of those states, Utah scores the highest.

2014 ACT National and State Scores | Average Scores by State | ACT

Massachusetts only tests 23% of their students. And who are those 23%? Only the best students.

Maine only tests 9% of its students. If you think the score of 9% of the student body is somehow representative of the entire student body, you are probably a liberal.
Interesting, huh, how statistics can be used to prove whatever position (or "indisputable fact") that a person wants to use them to prove.

Thanks for providing the rest of the information.

What's the likelihood of finding a bromance on a site that targets heterosexuals?

I cannot imagine belonging to AM or any internet dating site, even if I was single or interested in something on the side. Heck, I would not advertise or attempt to buy something off of Craig's list.
sigh... My statement has nothing to do with gay men. It's about your statement that the men were only flirting. Specifically when men go out to bars, a majority of bar clientele in non gay bars are men, I doubt that any are going there to flirt.
My statement about you was a joke in that you were on that list, got caught, so to cover your tracks you made it up that people who go there are mainly flirting. The percentage of people who go to those places to flirt are minuscule.

New England tends to house our most moral states.
Urban liberal centers lead all of those categories.

Governor Bentley is in my opinion, one of the worst governors in the nation. Any politician who says ideology is more of a factor than practicality should not be in office.


That being said, I feel this is none of the public's business.

Pretty sure even a city that is liberal by Southern Standards that is in a red state is still Conservative in most practical senses seeing as state law trumps city ordinances.

Can't commit adultery if you never marry those babies momma's.
Nice try.

Its worth noting that other conservative countries such as Saudia and Pakistan etc also have very high porn related search numbers. It has something to do with "family values" based religious suppression.

Agree, Governor Bentley is a bad governor. Bentley and the AL State Legislature decided to cover up the state's financial problem, via Amendment 1 in September, 2012. Amendment 1 was designed to cover up the financial problems until after the 2014 election.

Hope both Governor Bentley and his going to be ex-wife are happier after its over.

This has to do more with leadership in the South more than anything else. The South has had horrible elected leaders in both the red and blue states. The South just doesn't care about being a productive society and it shows by the members the elect at the local and state level. As a result, you have rural and urban areas in those states that are generally failing. Especially in rural states that have major urban cities. These Southern states are so poor at productivity that it leads to a greatly impoverished urban areas. Primarily as a result of their governor's inability to grow the economy to sustainable rates.
