DISQUS

Democrats are dumb · 6 months ago

You're an idiot. Democrats want people to have 50 kids and be on welfare so they can depend on them for votes. Republicans believe in survival of the fittest, and let's face it, a lot of people are just lazy and wouldn't survive if it weren't for the pandering democrats. It's pathetic how democrats don't even realize socialism DOESN'T WORK. Ask a Canadian doctor, they hate socialized healthcare. Democrats rely on the lazy and the poor, that's why Obama's in office and hasn't changed a thing. At least Bush took out Saddam Hussein, and he was tried and executed by the WORLD COURT, not the US. Dem's are the ones who gave him weapons back in the 80's and they tried to use them against us. The United States is a business, and when you quit running it like a business, we're going to fail like a business. Get your head out of your ass democrats. God isn't on the side of the lazy, nor the liberals who don't even believe in a higher power anymore. God will punish all of you, and Mr. Obama, because his own church hates him.

I'm surprised that Pennsylvania is near the bottom in the Teen pregnancy chart. We have Pennsyltucky after all.

Daniel, what's the source of this damning chart? The NY Times? Hrm, hardly good journalism anymore. I assume they must have had a scientific study done, so I'd be interested in how the metrics were determined.

Things such as per capita birthrates, total marriages vs. total people unmarried living together, determination of online pornographic sites, etc.

Statistics can be skewed any way you like. That's basic statistics theory 101, which is why it's important to know the method used to gather data.

BTW, I'm not disagreeing with all the results, just saying a little more transparency might be nice.
