momma2three Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 That is very interesting. I've never wanted a tattoo in my life, but I kinda want that map one at the end! What a fun way to keep track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 well, according #22, Norway Sweden and Finland teens on average first have sex at age 15. That seems so young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 well, according #22, Norway Sweden and Finland teens on average first have sex at age 15. That seems so young. They have very low teen pregnancy rates too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 That's cool. The one about paid maternity leave annoyed me though... :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilaclady Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Quite interesting. I found #15 about the high test paid public employee by states quite sad that it is mostly football coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredHSmom Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I loved them all, very interesting. The map about McDonalds was wrong (at least as of 1998). When we lived there, there was a McDonalds just outside Reykjavik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothersweets Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 It would be easier if I figure out the multiple quote thing! I thought the "highest paid public official" map was sad, too. And the "maternity leave" map surprised me! I didn't know we were so far behind the rest of the world in that. The "average age of first sex" map didn't surprise me - I had friends who were 13 or 14. :( and Plum Crazy, I'm liking how the Washington Post has an explanation for each of their maps. It gives me a better understanding when they explain how they got their facts and figures. So interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It would be easier if I figure out the multiple quote thing! To do a multi-quote, go through the thread & for each post you would like to reply to, click on the "MultiQuote" button in the bottom corner of that post. As you select more than one post to reply to, it will show you a count such as "Reply to 3 quoted post(s)". FYI, there is some limit to the number of posts you can quote (maybe 10 at a time???). When you're ready to reply, click on the "Reply to x quoted post(s)" button & that will bring up a reply box w/ the quotes for you to type your response in. FYI, if you're replying to long post(s) & you're really just wanting to mention something in reply to one part of the original post, you can delete sections of the quote so that you have just the sentence(s) you want to reply to.
