What is marriage / divorce rate of Divorce Attorneys?
That would be insightful.
That's the closest we can get from this set of data.

Occupations with the highest divorce rates

quote:LINK
Bus drivers are among those most commonly divorced or separated at 48%. Bartenders, vocational nurses, and massage therapists show similar.
Actuaries, professional estimators of risk, are way at the bottom at only 14%. Physical scientists are almost as equally measured.
Healthcare support and transportation have higher divorce rates, which matches with the overall chart. The computer and math category, along with architecture and engineering, tends towards lower rates.
Some categories, such as protective service or healthcare practitioners, cover a wider range instead of clustering in one spot. This usually means the category has more variation in jobs.

Very proud that my grandfather served in Europe as part of a mortar team and earned his Combat Infantryman Badge and two Purple Hearts. His medals and campaign ribbons are my most prized possessions.
re: Should Iran be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon?
Posted by Chuck Barris on 5/8/26 at 6:15 am to Tigergreg
quote:What?
Iran practices a fundamentalist Islam. That's not the same in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia (home of Osama bin Laden) is founded on Wahhabism, which is about as strict and fundamentalist an interpretation of Islam as there is. They can literally execute you for leaving Islam. They ban all non-Muslim worship. They crucified a teenager a few years ago. The only difference is we all try hard not to think about their beliefs very deeply because they're our allies and they have a lot of oil.
quote:Oh, then you disagree with President Trump, who says that they also can't be allowed to have missiles (you know, because they could hit Israel, the country whose war we're fighting).
They should be allowed to defend their country, but not with nukes.

quote:Just so we're clear, you don't believe that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth would respond to an Iranian nuclear attack on New York City with a retaliatory strike?
Chucky, it is not a foregone conclusion that we would respond to a nuclear first strike with an overwhelming response. If North Korea or Iran were to nuke New York or LA, I’m not convinced we would even respond with a nuclear retaliatory strike.
At best, there would be a proportional retaliation which in my opinion would not be enough.
If that's what you believe, then I can understand why you think that a nuclear armed Iran is an existential threat to the USA.

quote:
The old military adage was no one would use a nuclear weapon because of mutually assured destruction. That assumes you have rational actors. In Iran's case, they do not. They believe there are 72 virgins waiting for them.
First, if Iran's leaders are fundamentally irrational, then why have we repeatedly had sit down negotiations with their diplomats? Why were we negotiating with them before this war? Why are we waiting around on their reaction to a proposed agreement right this very minute? Is that what you do with crazy people, make diplomats fly halfway around the world to negotiate the fine points of complex agreements with them?
Second, if simply being Muslim makes you fundamentally irrational, then why does the USA have security arrangements and partnerships with nations led by irrational people? Why have we done that for decades? Why does our president praise and sit down to eat with dangerous, crazy people?

quote:Yeah, and look at all the harm that's come to world ever since North Korea got a nuclear weapon!
Look at North Korea. If the same thing had been done years ago, they would not have one
Why, they've already used it to attack... wait a minute.

quote:Because Iran uses Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine to fight against Israel's occupation of Palestinian land.
So why would Israel be so concerned with keeping military superiority over Iran?
Israel wants to be able to attack the Palestinians without being struck by Iran, and they want to able to strike Iran without worrying about Hamas and Hezbollah retaliating against them from Lebanon and Palestine.

quote:No, it isn't.
Iran is led by the devil incarnate.
It's led by horrible who don't share our values, that's true. But what matters is that they aren't irrational, just like the leaders of North Korea, Pakistan, and other countries that view the world very differently than we do aren't irrational either. We can get into a bad habit of believing that any nation that opposes us must be led by people who are literally crazy, but that just isn't true.
Take a second for a quick thought experiment: What do you think the US would do in response to an Iranian nuclear attack on our cities or any of our military assets? We'd nuke them off the face of the earth in retaliation, right?
Well, the leaders of Iran know that just as well as we do, and they don't want to see their cities go up in mushroom clouds either. That's why the line of BS we've been fed about "Well, how much is gas going to cost after Iran nukes Washington D.C.?!?" is so dumb. Nukes are a deterrent , not an offensive weapon.
This whole war is all about maintaining Israel's military superiority over Iran, and anyone who tells you differently is either wrong or lying.

I have no problem with anyone who claims that a 20% or more increase in the cost of gas isn't a big deal... as long as that person had exactly the same opinion in 2022.
