Well no offense to any right minded New Englanders, but could there be a more clearer example of the results of liberalism run amuck. You got teen girls making pact's to all get pregnant together, in Massachuset's, you have got convicted child rapist's out of jail so they can operate a child sex ring in Vermont, the #1 destination for child molester's. Really, looks like they could use a good dose of common sense and conservatism up there right about now! Can you say Family Values?

Well now, what are the comparative teen pregnancy/abortion rates between MA and other states?

You can't deduce data from an anecdote. You have to look at overall rates.

Compare a God fearing, highly church going and conservative state like Oklahoma to Massachusets and one will have to conclude that Massachusets is a much more Christian acting state. For instance, Massachusets has a lower divorce rate, lower unwed teenage births and a lower theft rate. I'd say Oklahoma needs the Ten Commandments posted in their courthouses and school classrooms a lot worse than in Massachusets.

Yea...no sex crimes happen outside of New England.

I seem to remember a couple of years ago a flood of child molestation incidents coming out of the State of Florida. A state whose governor at the time was none other than the president's very Republican brother.

And it's spelled Massachusetts btw.

That's one benefit of liberal New England...a real education.

Well, New England isn't doing something right, the South if full of refugees from New England who left because of the inflated costs of living, poor economies, and overall lower quality of life. Not to mention all the people from Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, Oregon, Washington, etc. who have flooded here for the same reasons.

Liberalism doesn't work, fortunately here in America we have a choice to move freely throughout the country where you don't have to be forced to live under it.

Your apostrophe use makes me cringe.

Yeah, and it's lazy and irresponsible to lay it all at the feet of "liberals." How nice it must be to have such an easy, built-in scapegoat. Get back to me after you've explained how Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and John McCain, with all of their divorces and affairs, are such icons of traditional family values ...
