with divorce at 67% that is not amazing. no integrity. the glue is gone. no wonder the banks have so many bad loans.
many many unhappy people.
shocked to see the other day on CDF, that a single gal felt sleeping with a married man was not adultery if she is single.
godless nation.
the 10 suggestions are not working out well.

You've never been in that situation. Until you have you shouldn't make such statements.

That being said. caught or not, it wouldn't be worth the risk or the reward.

Also notice that they don't state the names of the universities or who conducted the psych surveys, mass public polls and recording of family counselors.

One would be ridiculous to think the numbers are far off. Think of the many glares\stares\sidebar you've had or heard of consisting with the Stats.

I question whether saying they would do it, and whether they would actually do it when confronted with the situation, would have the same measurement.

Then again, that assumption might be offset by the number of people who said they would not do it, and then actually did it.
