There is, because of the "grass is greener" effect.

In places where divorce is rare, married people are less likely to want divorce because the odds of finding someone to date after the divorce are slim.

In places where divorce is common, there is a large pool of divorced people whom you could potentially date if you choose to divorce.

So divorce causes more divorce.

You'd think that in places where divorce is rare, that the average marital satisfaction is low, because unhappy couples choose to stay married because of the dearth of options if they divorce. But in reality, in places where divorce is common, the average marital satisfaction is low, because married people see all sorts of divorced people every day, some of them being attractive individuals.

They're only Democrats because Republicanism is now associated with low IQ, anti-intellectual, anti-education, fat, fundie Christian, poorly dressed, small vocabulary poor people from Alabama.

If there were a right-wing party in America that catered to high IQ, cognitive elitist, pro-education, secular, thin, well dressed, well read, well travelled rich and educated people who play lacrosse and wear J Crew, they would consider joining that party.

I don't see why we can't do preventative life sentences without parole for these types of people. We all know that animal abuse will eventually lead to murder/rape, so he should be locked up forever starting now. it's bullshit that he was allowed to post $10k bail. Bail is just get out of jail for rich people.
