Let me stop you right there. I really hate pejorative terms when used in a debate. I'm pretty sure I could go around calling people amoral, unethical, slutty etc., but that wouldn't accomplish anything, now would it? Anywho, one should know that it's not always easy trying to find information taken from reports/studies over the internet, as many times the information can only be found in the books in which they're presented. Luckily for you (And others), however, I stayed up all night compiling this information just to be able to post this. It most definitely wasn't easy (Especially considering I had class and work), so you should be thankful
In the United States, an estimated 5% of the population has had a threesome but only approximately 2% of the population actively engage in open marriages (Fact for SecrodMethod70, since he asked earlier ---> Most swingers are white, middle-class and conservative to moderate in their views). It's also been observed that instances of jealousy occur much more frequently in situations involving more than two people than of situations involving only two participants. Of the number of reported divorces per year, about 1% of men and 2% of women report report open marriages to be the cause for their divorce (Janus & Janus). While this number is, in itself, quite low, it is rather high in relation to the number of reported open marriages per year. Furthermore, in a 1995 study, it was observed that 80% of bisexuals over a five year period displayed a definite shift towards monogamy, some reasons of which being that they "thought that it got in the way of developing love, trust, and more intimate relationships with a partner."(Weinberg, Williams, & Pryor)

Some quotes since I'm probably just making this stuff up
Oh... Would you look at that. Proof of what I've been saying all along. So, what excuse will you guys and gals come up with this time? A few more straw men arguments or maybe a little bit of ad hominem? Actually, when I think about it, I really don't care. I'll just revel in the fact that I was right, you were wrong and that you-- Along with a few other people-- Are now eating a great big helping of crow and humble pie

Wow you showed us a class exists and that you take it - I am sooo impressed for all we know you could be failing or sleeping through every lecture. You haven't linked a single verified scientific study. So from what I can see you're saying your beliefs are proven everyone elses are a load of BS and yet you have no proof to back you up - this attempt at justification of your beliefs in numerous thread aggravates me.

1.) 3.81 GPA ftw! i r t3h smrt >_>
2.) Oh, really? And what other thread would that be? The last time this happened was on Mr. Friendly's thread. You tried to tell me that homosexuals don't act any differently than heterosexuals and when you were given your 'proof' you conveniently disappeared (Should I bump the thread for you?). You didn't even attempt a response. But, oh well, it's not like that was surprising or anything. People tend to ignore what doesn't benefit them.
*Shrugs*
Oh well... Like I've said many times before, I've got no reason to make anything up. There isn't a single claim I've made which isn't backed up by proof. Just because you choose to believe otherwise doesn't make anything I say untrue. For a group of 'enlightened' folk, a great deal of you sure seem to know a lot less than you think you do.

For someone that is so vocal about how everyone ignored what he's actually writing you seem to see only what you want to. Try reading some of the other posts.

I do read other posts. Can you say the same? Now, pardon me while I go 'make up' some other statistics.
