You dog Heidi's beautiful but this is a "CAT" person thing...

In 10 spouses, odds are higher that one of them will cheat you than with just one spouse.
If 10% of all people cheat, then, if you have 10 spouses, one of them is 100% likely to cheat, statistically speaking.
But if you only have 1 spouse, you have a 10% chance of having a cheating spouse.

The point being made here is valid, but I'd like to address the mathematics

In the above scenario, if we say that someone has a 10% chance of cheating at some point in their life:

The probability that at least one of them cheats at some point = 1 - The probability than none of them ever cheat

[They are exclusive and exhaustive events and so cover all possibilities with no overlap]

This probability, assuming all the people act independently is then:

1 - (90%)^10 = 1 - 0.3486784401... = 0.65 [To two decimal places. We need 10 non-cheaters in a row so we multiple their probability]

So the probability that at least one of the group cheats at some point in their life is slightly under two thirds.

What could instead be said is that the average number of people from the 10 who will cheat at some point in their life will be 1. This is probably what was meant in the first place to be fair

My point wasn't which situation is more likely to have a cheater. My point was if 1 out of 10 cheats your chance of an std is no different than 1 out 1 cheating, I was already assuming a cheater in both cases.

I think this is unforgiveable.

The inability to extend forgiveness, especially for such a minor trespass, says much more about you than it does about those who've offended you.

One of the keys to living the good life, for me, is forgiveness: asking for it when I've wronged someone, and extending it to those who have wronged me. I sleep better on a clean slate.

It's not that I don't want to forgive you, but I don't believe in the concept of forgiving.

Your anger seems more understandable now. By this yardstick, no offense, however minor, can be put behind you. What a heavy load that must be to drag around.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Pretty sure his problem is that you haven't supported your point with objective reasoning.  At least, that's what he wrote, in pretty clear English.

Ok, then, my problem is you haven't supported your point with objective reasoning, so I will just ignore you.

We can all play that game if we're morons with something up our asses.

Actually, I did, in the form of number-crunching on the likelihood of cheating. Maybe you missed that.

Oh, fuck off, will you?

Your views on MARRIAGE?

I scarcely know what to say.  I haven't even been your FB friend for a week.  Don't forget, we're both already married.  I'm definitely going to need some time.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Fantastic!

A cat person thing and a Catholic thing. CATholic, in short.

Thank you for standing up for me.

He said something might be, and when I asked him to clarify, I mistook him for saying is, rather than might be. Just some carelessness on my part and the fact that I was sidetracked watching TV at the same time. I did not put words in his mouth on purpose.

You're kind of making my point for me, kid. Take a deep breath and relax. This is the only life you get. There's no reason to go through it so unhappy.

Well, I still think some punishment is in order...

All I'm saying is leave me the fuck alone if all you're going to do is point out the obvious and stop addressing me at all if you're going to do it as 'kid'.
You don't want me to push your buttons, believe me.

Respect is earnt, not demanded. And if it's so obvious, why do you work so hard to avoid it?

I'll post to whom I please, as I see fit, within the confines of the rules. If you don't like it, that's not my problem.

You don't want me to push your buttons, believe me.

Oooh, I'm scared.

No, really, I'm not trying to push your buttons. I cannot help that you're so bloody sensitive that any disagreement calls forth invective. Your brittle personality is not my responsibility. If you want to go out of your way to try to rattle me, have at it. I've been around long enough to keep the Internet in its proper perspective. It's a skill you definitely need to essay.
