Adultery 2

See, sex is very important

Agreed..it's important, however, there are those times that a mate can't due to a medical reasons. So, the companionship plays a key role.

Uh-huh.

So you have seen the errors in your views and agree with me now.....

Who is Montgomery Burn?

[Stalemate]

We just have differing views about it.

They're not even in opposition because they are in different spheres of perspective, IMHO.

Who is Montgomery Burn?

Mr Burns from the Simpsons.

Ahh, I don't watch the Simpsons. Last time was when I used to watch Tracy (whose last name I can't remember--brain freeze)

Just say that you agree with me already

The fabric of space-time would fold in on itself and whimper away into nothingness if I did that, sorry.

So the last 'vaguely sensible bit' I can find is ..

At the current time...

Yes: 15% (6)
No: 85% (34)


This, although it has not the pretention of being anything official, would tend to disprove the "common knowledge" that "almost everybody cheats on their spouse", I would think.

I have to admit I'm rather surprised by the wide margin of difference.

..then we had a slight asside for the folks who don't watch the simpsons ...
So what does all this tell us ? Well it tells me that folks here at windrivers will lie about anything ! or perhaps nerds are loyal ? or perhaps nerds have so little chance of 'pulling' that they have to remain faithful ? Or perhaps many who might have been really truthful didn't vote due to the 'inelligancy' of the question ? But more likely, it says that 20 votes made out of I dunno how many views of this topic is hardly representational ..

..adultery was probably as common a practice as ever but that people were choosing not to use this as a reason for divorce because it was too time-consuming & expensive.

Mmmmm !
