Just a point of reference. On the first 60 posts (as far as I counted), about 25 freepers either recognized young marriage as a common factor of our past or admitted to it in their own families as a normal thing. Four were against/in denial of history.
The possibilities from that sampling.
1: the majority of freepers, who are supposedly far more aware of American and world history than the average person are wrong.
2: 4 Freepers who are supposedly far more aware of American and world history than the average person are wrong.
I wonder what Vegas would give on these odds.
According to your methods we can figure that homosexuality is the norm, since we all know many, and many have family members who are gay.
We can collect freepers talking about gays they know all day long, and we don’t even have to be talking about someone from a 100 years, like my grandmother.
