[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sheesh, OP. Do you also go to a young couple's wedding and say, "well, statistics say that marriages at your age have a high chance of failure, so good luck with that!" Or tell a cancer patient that their odds of surviving five years are crappy? People aren't statistics and don't like being treated as such.[/quote]

Happily married couples talk about divorce rates all the time without impacting the stability of the marriage.

This wasn't a wedding. This was a lunchroom conversation. I don't see anything wrong with the topic or context. If the other person took it sensitively that is mainly due to her and not the topic. [/quote]

I agree. I don’t see the issue with the use of statistics, and you weren’t even referring to the coworker’s marriage directly. But then, I’m a scientist so spouting off studies is just a normal part of the day for me.

That being said, if I offended someone, I would apologize. Whether I think I was wrong or not. And I’d be more sensitive toward this person who is obviously easily offended. [/quote]
