I see your poor undertanding of statistics and raise you analysis:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/19/health/19divo.html

To wit:

"At this point, unless there's some kind of turnaround, I wouldn't expect any cohort to reach 50 percent, since none already has," said Dr. Rose M. Kreider, a demographer in the Fertility and Family Statistics Branch of the Census Bureau.

Boo-yah.[/quote]

And I will raise again for selective quotation, and misspelling when you attempt to demonstrate your superior intelligence ("untertanding" sic).

From the article you cited:

"Dr. Larry Bumpass, an emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Demography and Ecology, has long held that divorce rates will eventually reach or exceed 50 percent. In an interview, he said that it was "probably right" that the official divorce statistics might fall below 50 percent, but that the rate would still be close.

"'About half is still a very sensible statement,' he said."

Granted that this is written by a guy named "Bumpass," but still.

NB: Please, let us not let this thread degenerate into the assfucking thread over in the explicit section of the site.  [/quote]
