Today the vast majority of men and women will marry at some time in their lives- by age 70 nearly 96% of men and women have been married at some point in their lives- so that’s still in effect.

Yep, they both work, but I should have probably used ‘arrant.’ I even thought about knight errant when I wrote it.

I found it on 538. It’s lower if you look at a graph by age (about 80% at peak), but the graphs are of people married at any given age and so if you’re divorced or widowed, you show as not married, but not necessarily never married. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/when-will-everyone-i-know-be-married/

This ‘intellectual’ is just talking errant nonsense. Nothing he says makes any sense or has any historical basis. What a complete tool- as are all the people in the incel cesspool of hatred and blame shifting. They all need mental health care and then to go out and develop personalities and the ability to function…

They’re so stupid they haven’t even thought through what a belief in evolutionary psychology likely means to them. Much of it is based on the idea that these types of guys were completely cut out of the gene pool and certainly from monogamous relationships. Low status/poor, unattractive, socially inept men were not…

I think he’s looking longingly back at a time when due to few, and only poorly paid, jobs for women and a decent chunk of men removed from the population through war, that women were economically under much more pressure to marry someone. It’s all ahistorical nonsense really.

You’re out of date. “Capital punishment for juveniles in the United States existed until March 1, 2005, when the U.S. Supreme Court banned it in Roper v. Simmons”

I teach kids from a wide range of high schools- they pretty much all read Anne Frank and many read Night in their middle and high school classrooms as well as a variety of other books. I would argue that nothing in history is more widely diseminated in the US than knowledge of the Holocasut.

People under 18 can’t be executed- he’ll get life.

Parents (and their insurance) are held responsible when their kid uses their car and hurts or kills others. Gun owners should be required to have insurance to cover shootings and the resultant injury and death. If you have a gun, it needs to be kept safely and that means that no one should be able to get at it without…

The younger generation is taught it- it’s in every history book and they always spend time on WWII and nazi attrocities. Whether they remember it ten minutes after the lecture/test is another thing.

I doubt we do go 22 hours if we count family annihaltors such as the most recent one in Australia. We have MAYBE gone 22 days between a school shooting since Columbine. Maybe.

Yeah, I hope all those pre-school and kindergarten teachers are capable of teaching kids about logic and reason as they repeatedly drill them on how to hide from a gunman. /s

I knew someone who accidentally killed himself with his dad’s gun too. I’m guessing we aren’t in the minority.

Oh yeah, I expect to see him replacing Sessions.

Wait, you can (likely rightly) assume that he’ll follow all the other patterns, but are hesitant to assume he’s a white male even though virtually all the school shooters have been white males- it’s their #1 characteristic. (And he’s been named- he’s a white male).

Ah, I see your point, guns should be as heavily regulated as the alcohol industry. There should be a federal age limit, they should be illegal in many public areas, their sale should only be through regulated, licenced sellers, powerful versions should be banned from sale, and there’s even a totally constitutionally…

OMG, that poor woman. That is a terrifying account.

They probably do, but he apparently went to school in Spain for a period- so he likely does speak decent Spanish. Ironically, Spanish speakers (and others) pay for him, not the other way around.

You see, they used to have 100% of everything good and now they only have 85% and it’s not FAIR!
