I think the only mistake the OP made is to neglect the divorce rate, which is like 50% in the US. Its not very likely that the *entire* problem is teen pregnancies after all.
Otherwise I think the is spot-on correct. Among my peers, divorce is taboo. For religious reasons. And our divorce rate is less than 10%. Along with a lower divorce rate comes other lower rates: lower drug usage, lower violence rates, etc.
There are *very* few cases where divorce is actually called for (usually abuse, infidelity, or criminal activity). Everything else can be healed, and *is* healed thru spiritual means. Quite effectively I might add.
The fact that some Mac users are migrating to linux is *proof* that homosexuality is a choice, and it can be cured. There just needs to be a free enough market. But the dems will never allow this, with the need to fund their total-control utopia. Microsoft, on the other hand, cannot be cured; it must be killed with fire before it lays eggs.
In Buffalo NY you can buy a duplex (2-units) and rent out the other half, effectively having the renters pay your mortgage. For less than 50K. Easily. And we sit on top of some major fiber downtown. Plenty of culture and nightlife here, too, loads of music food and brew..
More like 40 years. Illinois was only 15% funded back in 1972 when my dad was engineering prof at UIUC. Its the reason why he quit and went into private industry, where he did *much* better working for defense contractors.
Its because it was applesauce, and I had spent the previous 24 hours fasting before the app't. Hence it went right thru. (lotsa fiber and sugary fruit)
Uh, the apple sauce was already filling up my colon pretty well when he went poking in there... normally you're not supposed to eat anything before those exams.
The guy was pretty big too, built like a basketball player.
Years ago (HS/college), my old doctor wouldn't let my have my records, after I decided to switch. He had asked for a prostate exam. So I waited till an hour before the appointment and slammed a pound of apple sauce. . He never spoke to me again after that. .
I felt his business was going downhill fast and I was right he went to prison a year later.
File a US disability claim, and find out how much fun it is to get all those records, and then get your doctor to contradict the governments doctors in court.

"And as a follow-up to that article from 1.5 years ago, be it noted that when B&N hung tough, and was willing to go to court, MS "settled" by investing $300M in a joint venture, and they became good buddies who were not going to have such silly squabbles any more.
Interesting that they have not gone after Apple's iOS on a lot of those same "patents" - have they?

this is PROOF that gheyness can be cured; therefore it *is* a choice!
Most Apple fans are super shiny.

Somebody needs to remind him that "ubuntu" is African for "I can't install Debian".
Linux didn't get to be as good as it is by pandering to every mercantilist interest.

YMMV"
MS *really* doesn't want to go to court over these patents, nor do they want anybody knowing exactly what they are about... As for the FAT patents? Those were unenforcable long ago. http://www.geek.com/articles/law/microsoft-fat-patent-shot-down-2004101
If degrees are being devalued then why pay for them? This makes no sense.
Funny thing, the liberal arts were strong on writing, critical thinking, etc. Back when I was in school ~25 yrs ago. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
And BTW liberal and fine arts courses are *much* harder than you would think. Don't judge till you've tried it.
I remember the "blink" tag.
Sad, isn't it? People are *still* talking about standardizing on browsers instead of enforcing adherence to standardized markup languages.
