Object: The Sanctity of Marriage in the United States?
To listen to the Main Stream Media tell it, US Liberals are trying to
"destroy the sanctity of marriage." This shows how off-the-mark
Republicans and the majority of the MSM are.
In 2003, according to a US Census report located at
http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/03statab/vitstat.pdf it appears
that, in fact, it is Republicans who are destroying the sanctity of
marriage.
Out of the 31 "red" states, 18 had a higher-than-average number of
divorces per-capita (58% of the "red" states). Out of the 20 "blue"
states, 3 had a higher-than-average number of divorces per-capita (15%
of the "blue" states).
The "red" states with higher-than-average divorce rates per-capita:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming
The "blue" states with higher-than-average divorces rates per-capita:
New Hampshire, Oregon, and Washington
The lowest divorce rate in the country is 2.3 per 1000 people, in the
District of Columbia, which, if I'm looking at my map correctly, is
dark, dark, dark blue.
Remember: Divorce always destroys marriage.

You will be accorded due respect when you define the value of "per capita" in

Per capita is a well-accepted term meaning per person (literally, "per
head" in Latin). It means, basically, that the statistics take
population into account rather than just reporting total numbers of
divorces.
Why do you consider this to be a problem, duke?

You know, limiting the playing field to not allow quotes from
"right-wingnut Christians" is disingenious. When they have
"right-wingnut Christians" such as Falwell or Robertson on the network,
they might as well be representatives of the network.
But, let's try.

Yes, I did, in response to folks like Falwell or Robertson, who are, I'm
sorry to say, representatives of the right-wing, especially when they
appear on Fox News or CNN. Limiting the playing field so I cannot
include them is dishonest.

No it's not. Quoting a right-winger, especially when we all know how the
networks *usually* quote conservatives, doesn't make the network
conservative.

When they have
"right-wingnut Christians" such as Falwell or Robertson on the
network, they might as well be representatives of the network.

When CNN quotes Chirac does that make them a French network?
When Franken or Moore appear on the TV, does that prove that the
networks are left-wing?

Pretending that they're network representatives is dishonest. Bob

representative until he got caught peddling forged documents.

I didn't say that they "quote" Robertson or Falwell. I said "have them
on the network." Can you read? How many times has Moore or Franken
been on the network as opposed to Falwell or Robertson? Chirac is
irrelevant due to his being a non-American.

liberal agenda (which, by the way, is "freedom and justice... FOR ALL,"
emphasis not mine).

So, you don't know that they could've been copied from the originals
into MS Word format? You ever hear of "typesetting"? It's where the
originals got so damaged that they're no longer of use, so they took it
and digitized the information?
I used to work doing things like this; taking nearly-destroyed pieces of
data and putting them into a format wherein they will not degrade. And
I did it in Microsoft Word.
Did Rather report the originals? Nope. Did he report the truth? Yup.
And since he reported on digitized copies of the originals, his
illustrious career was slimed by right-wing hatred for the perceived
liberal-media bias.

The CBS did not investigate itself. They brought in ***** Thomburgh and

<piggybacking since I didn't get DanielSan's reply>

No, I want a cite from the Main Stream Media about how US liberals
are trying to destroy the sanctity of marriage. Not the MSM
quoting some right-wingnut Christian either.


You know, limiting the playing field to not allow quotes from
"right-wingnut Christians" is disingenious.



No it's not. Quoting a right-winger, especially when we all know how
the networks *usually* quote conservatives, doesn't make the network
conservative.



When they have
"right-wingnut Christians" such as Falwell or Robertson on the
network, they might as well be representatives of the network.



When CNN quotes Chirac does that make them a French network?
When Franken or Moore appear on the TV, does that prove that the
networks are left-wing?


I didn't say that they "quote" Robertson or Falwell. I said "have
them on the network." Can you read? How many times has Moore or
Franken been on the network as opposed to Falwell or Robertson?



Probably more. Franken was on Saturday Night Live for a while, wasn't
he?


Oh, jeez, Fred. You're getting stupider than I took you for.

So? I hear moonbats citing Jon Stewart's Daily Show on a regular basis.



Chirac is irrelevant due to his being a non-American.



Heh.

That's from a speaker at the convention. Try again. This time show
an MSM reporter saying it as their own opinion, not somebody they're
reporting about. You can't do it, can you?


Opinions are irrelevant to the original point. I was speaking about
the inordinate amount of times that the MSM "quote" the conservative
agenda by having conservatives on, versus how many times the MSM
"quote" the liberal agenda (which, by the way, is "freedom and
justice... FOR ALL," emphasis not mine).



Irrelevant to your original statement. Admit it, you can't produce
any actual MSM reporter saying that "US Liberals are trying to
destroy the sanctity of marriage."


No. I never said MSM reporters are saying that. I said MSM, which
*INCLUDES* representatives like Robertson and Falwell.

They are not representatives of the MSM. I can just as easily say that
the MSM is saying that "US Liberals are *not* trying to destroy the
sanctity of marriage" because of liberal spokesmen on the very same news
programs. You're seriously logic-impaired here, Daniel.

Yes, I did, in response to folks like Falwell or Robertson, who
are, I'm sorry to say, representatives of the right-wing,
especially when they appear on Fox News or CNN.



I never said that they weren't. But that doesn't make them

Where'd you pull PAX from? I never mentioned PAX in any of my posts.

I'm just preempting any idea you might have of claiming that they

Plenty.



Bob

Oh, give it a *REST,* Fred. The memos were *NOT* forged! They were

Oh, give it a rest yourself, Daniel! They were *FORGED*. They were in
a fricking MS-WORD font and default format, for pete's sakes! There
is no way in hell that they were produced in the 1970's at an Air

So, you don't know that they could've been copied from the originals
into MS Word format?

Oh, please. Tell me the one about the cow that jumped over the moon,
it's more believable.

You ever hear of "typesetting"? It's where the
originals got so damaged that they're no longer of use, so they took
it and digitized the information?

That's such a stretch that it's not even worth repeating.

I used to work doing things like this; taking nearly-destroyed pieces
of data and putting them into a format wherein they will not degrade.
And I did it in Microsoft Word.

I'm sure you were given a few personal CYA notes from officers files to
retype. That is such *****, Daniel. How gullible are you?

Did Rather report the originals? Nope. Did he report the truth?
Yup.

Nope.

And since he reported on digitized copies of the originals, his
illustrious career was slimed by right-wing hatred for the perceived
liberal-media bias.

The CBS did not investigate itself. They brought in ***** Thomburgh

Actually, once it was known that their SOP was to misrepresent, omit
facts that didn't suit them, and spin . . . . you might say their stock
fell a bit.
The Swift Boat Veterans for "truth" statements suited no agenda except
their own. The connection with the truth -- the whole truth -- was
incidental, and relatively rare.

You will be accorded due respect when you define the value of "per

capita" in

your post. Until then, you will be considered overwhelmed with

ignorance,

snowden.


Per capita is a well-accepted term meaning per person (literally, "per
head" in Latin). It means, basically, that the statistics take
population into account rather than just reporting total numbers of
divorces.

Why do you consider this to be a problem, duke?

Because he is a complete idiot, and prefers to remain blissfully so. Even if
that includes asking stupid questions rather than accept and admit that he's
wrong about any of his petty, hate-filled 'ideas.'
He clings to his delusions with the tenacity of a doberman on a raw pork

To listen to the Main Stream Media tell it, US Liberals are trying to

I provided cites. You've snipped them.


You will be accorded due respect when you define the value of "per

capita" in

your post. Until then, you will be considered overwhelmed with

ignorance,

snowden.


Per capita is a well-accepted term meaning per person (literally, "per
head" in Latin). It means, basically, that the statistics take
population into account rather than just reporting total numbers of
divorces.

Why do you consider this to be a problem, duke?


Because he is a complete idiot, and prefers to remain blissfully so. Even if
that includes asking stupid questions rather than accept and admit that he's
wrong about any of his petty, hate-filled 'ideas.'

He clings to his delusions with the tenacity of a doberman on a raw pork
chop.

Oh, I know all of that. I'm just wondering what in his twisted little
mind leads him to conclude that "per capita" is something sinister or
that has to be defined, or whatever he thinks. Actually, I wish I'd
asked him off the top what he thinks "per capita" means, because that
might have been good for a laugh.

Fred, you're an illiterate lying sack of RepubliCUNT *****.
Section 126 -- Marriages and Divorces -- Number and Rate by State:
1990 to 2001.
http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/03statab/vitstat.pdf
You know, maybe if you paid a little more attention to the material
you wouldn't look quite so silly.
Do you really need it spelled out that this is MARRIAGE and divorce
statistics by state? The same states that went either red or blue in
the 2004 elections? Do you also need to be slapped upside the head by
the fact that these same statistics were gathered and published by
your fascist, neo-con, RepubliCUNT controlled government, you piece of
inhuman offal?
Now pull your head out of your funk-contaminated ***** and count the
number of times you've lied in this thread alone.
Happy FOAD --
