    :lol: Maybe they get lonely during the long, dark winter, get married so cure the boredom, and then when it becomes almost perpetual daylight in the summers they get all squirrely and hyperactive and have to divorce before it comes to blows. Or the opposite... locked inside with the same damn person all winter... by the end of it they're about ready to strangle each other, lol.
    Maybe nothing to do all winter except having sex, living together, and then getting married.  Only to find out during summer daylight hours you have otherwise absolutely nothing in common.  :lol:

    Amazing how all these maps look similar.  If American is one big laboratory for our democracy experiment, this is real visual exercise in how GOP policies have failed America by every measure.

    It seems to more specifically show the correlation between a stable family and child welfare.  Which is pretty much a no brainer.

    All 3 bad.  And getting into the numbers muslim terrorists have killed 14% more people.  The problem I have is the right wing uses Muslim terrorists to deflect and ignore....and then a bunch of other use Right wing terrorists as a means to deflect and ignore....

    They are all bad.

    Wait a minute, Muslim extremists are right wing.  They're both conservative, religious, want to oppress women, minorities, & gays, want to institute sharia law.  There are very few ways Muslim extremism is very different from Christian Conservatives.  Allah is just another name for God.

    As an elitist liberal, I call those shithole states. And having been born and raised in a shithole state, I give myself additional permission to do so. 
    You are part of the issue of division we have. Calling states shitholes. Cmon man. I've been to a lot of states and met great people in all of them

    I was sort of joking. I'm from Indiana and there's great people there, including my dad, but sometimes they just keep shooting themselves in the foot. Like the article about the Indiana company having difficulty finding people to hire. They've made the state really unappealing, where people are leaving and not many want to move there.

    Easy on Florida folks!  We have some very cool members here from and/or in Florida.  Though it's been awhile, I've been there and I thought the state had some fine features.  It's not all great of course but show me a place that is and I'll tell you another fairy tale.

    Every place has its good points.  For example:

    Nevada, that nuclear wasteland of toxic greed has some marvelous corners here and there.  I know a place where you can just walk around and have a hard time not stepping on super ancient trilobites.

    Kansas.  I spent a night on a lonely plain with the scent of sage wafting on the night air while hearing the sound of normally elusive sand hill cranes roosting close by while in migration.

    Nebraska.  I spent an afternoon in small ag town on a very minor blue highway out in the middle of nowhere and the people there were very as friendly and relaxed as can be.

    Hey, if you want to bash a place, what about my home state, California?  Believe me, there's plenty to bitch about regarding this trashed paradise.  And, of course, like any place, it still has it's good points, for sure.

    There's a real hard core conservative Christian base there that continually elect these guys. My dad's lived there over 50 years and it still drives him nuts. He tells me how he can't stand the "In God we trust" on the license plates about once a month.  I was blown away when the state went Obama in '08, and the mayor of South Bend just came out as gay, so there's that!

    I have met Senator Donnelly a couple times. He seems like an alright guy. It wasn't a political affair so he didn't really talk shop.

    I also used to live 45 minutes from the IL/IN border. Cheap smokes and fireworks kept high school interesting...
