I hate stupid people who are unable to see past empty Sophist rhetoric. And of course, the Sophists. Plato was right about them. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I think it could be argued that McVeigh's revenge for Waco was somewhat motivated by religion, or at least the freedom thereof. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Apparently you don't understand it very well. The sample size was quite adequate for an acceptable margin of error. The most likely source of error is non-randomness of the sample, not its size. Gotta agree, and the survey question and analysis itself is likely more in question. If someone came to my work and asked 100 people how many skydivers they know, the total would be about 75. And all 75 of those would be referring to me. That one guy in 1500 or so, and maybe some one-timers that did tandems once. The surveyer wouldn't know the difference. But multiple counting the same guy would be the big difference. "Clusters" of homes indeed. Likely the survey was written poorly and the results purposely analyzed incorrectly to make the results dramatic. It helps to get published, you get more grant funding. Another reason that it's nice to validate inferences with testing and independent studies on other factors. Nothing wrong with the sample size though - the CI is very large, but it does bound the lower end at a significant number and establishes an error range. So what? I haven't read this particular study in its entirety, but when NPR was talking about it, they mentioned that this was the only death count that involved looking at death certificates. Somehow I doubt the results of a Johns Hopkins affiliated study/survey used were purposely analyzed incorrectly. I remember another study a couple years ago that put the Iraqi death toll at well over 100,000, so the conclusions of this study do not seem unreasonable. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

You mean like accusing others of being psychopaths? That's what I thought too. If you had had a relevant argument you would have offered it. So I guess WW2 never happened then because we weren't there to see it, right? If you can't take the time to read up on this dictator and his kookiness we don't have much to discuss. Umm, acknowledging that you are not qualified to render a psychiatric opinion of someone you've never met is wholly different than denying that a major war never occurred. Surely you can understand the difference. If you can't, then it is further evidence that you are not qualified to render a psychiatric opinion about others. Math tutoring available.

We haven't been attacked in 5 years, despite repeated efforts. Where do you think that intel is coming from? What about the Anthrax shortly after 9/11? What about the attacks on our troops in Iraq that occur every 15 minutes? That intel was agreed upon by every one of our intelligence agencies, 12 or 13 in total. The repeated efforts you speak of are evidence of how we are not safer now than before 9/11. We are not safer until the desire to attack America stops. Our current foreign policy does not accomplish much to wards those ends. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Well we know where you stand I guess... pro-proliferation, Taiwan = China, NK should have nukes, the US is bad. What next? Are you tight with "lil' Kim? Is he your homey? You guys hit the bars together? Or are you just his personal psychiatrist? How many of his actions have actually witnessed? I didn't say the US was bad. I said they are the only country armed with nuclear weapons that has ever used those weapons (twice even) against another country. I will say that US foreign policy is terrible, IMO, and worse since W took office. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

This kind of comparison is silly. How many people have died as a result of terrorism by Christians? Regarding abortion clinic bombings, I think the number is a low single digit one. How about deaths since 9/11 due to acts of Islamic terrorism? I'm guessing it's in the thousands. Comparing the two is like comparing a paper cut to a compound fracture.

Ours was much more in depth than that, stopping just short of shooting. Of course, students were all eighth graders. It covered the history of firearms and different types of actions in use in modern weapons, as well as safe handling of guns as tools, not objects to be feared. Passing the class was a prerequisite to obtaining a hunting license in that state. I don't know if the class is a part of the curriculum any longer. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Nothing, which is why I was wondering why you brought it up. I'm sure you have access to his medical records to support your claim of his psychosis, right? Or, do you just not understand what psychosis means? I would not want the US to interfere with SK or Japan obtaining nuclear weapons, but I think China already has them. Math tutoring available.

So, tell us, how should we spin the fact that under our last two democratic presidents the trend was an increase in government revenue with a decrease in government spending? The same cannot be said of the last three Republican Presidents. The fact is the Democrats have a track record of being more fiscally responsible than the Republicans. It's a shame that so many people buy into the erroneous empty rhetoric claiming the opposite. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

How much of the Dow growth came from inflation and deficit spending? As far as how the economy is doing, I've yet to talk to anyone who is better off now than they were when Clinton was in office. I know I certainly cannot find work now that pays as much as I could easily make then. Our economic growth under W has come at the expense of the poor and the middle class. I like how you think numbers showing how well W is doing are real, but numbers verifying Clinton's superior handling of the economy are made up. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Yes, I view a $248 BILLION (that's 248,000 times $1 million) deficit as a bad thing. It is laughable and hypocritical that anyone from a party claiming to support personal responsibility can defend such atrocious budgeting. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

By that logic, our nuke program is an unrelated issue and you should not use it in your arguments. The question is: Do you REALLY want NK to have nukes? Aside from pointing out that only one country has ever used a nuclear weapon against another country, I have not mentioned our nuclear program. Nice attempt to misrepresent my argument again. As I stated before, I do not care if NK has a nuclear weapon program. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

He's been called upon to monitor the integrity of elections worldwide. Sure, ask Venezuelans about that one. He certainly failed on that occassion.
