Do NH People Swear More Than Massachusetts Residents?
It may be hard to believe, but a study says it's true.
New Hampshire residents curse like sailors on the phone, according to analysis by the Marchex Institute. New Hampshire didn't make the list of the top five states that swear the most or the five that swear the least. But the study did place residents in the "Sailors" category along with about a dozen other states, indicating that its residents curse more often than people who live in most other states. Ohio topped the list for most foul-mouthed callers. Washington residents were least likely to curse on the phone, followed closely by Massachusetts, of all places. Marchex examined more than 600,000 calls over a year that were placed by consumers to businesses in 30 different industries. Though New Hampshire people curse a lot, at least they…
POLL: Should DUI Alcohol Limit Be Lowered?
Vote in our poll, and share your thoughts in the comments field below.
One drink could be the standard for drunken driving – at least for some people, if the National Transporation Safety Board has its way. On Tuesday, the NTSB recommended states lower the blood-alcohol threshold for driving under the influence from .08 to .05. About 10,000 deaths a year are related to drunken driving. The NTSB says the lower limit would save 500 to 800 lives a year. Officials at the American Beverage Institute called the proposal "ludicrous." It said the average woman could reach the .05 percent limit by having one drink. What do you think? Is the proposal reasonable? Vote in our poll below, and leave a comment with your thoughts.

Hopefully the couple will be found at least partially at fault for failing to teach their child how to sit and for not being bright enough to have a child that is smarter than a board. I'll go out on a limb here and assume that these parents are personal responsibility Republican types. more ›

Dave - I have a minor in psychopharmacology I am a little more qualified to say how the drug "alcohol" affects people than you are. Honestly it doesn't matter what you think because there are facts and opinions. I am stating facts while you state opinions. We can allow the LORD to be the final judge. more ›
