Anti-War 100,000 - Pro-War 400

hmmm... I could only find one member who is not a lib that resulted to name calling in this thread.

On the other hand, I can come up with countless times where myself or any other who disagreed with the bankrupt liberal viewpoint were called names such as racist, bigot, idiot, moron, retard, etc. The list goes on and on.

hrb, I like your posts... at least you can respect different opinions, but surely you are not standing up for those who result to such poor tactics in a supposed "debate".

Am I wrong?

 

No you are not, I even asked for these phrases to be stopped

 

yeah , calling someone a terrorist supporter because they don't like the US foreign policy is very respectful

 

Please define, what exactly is the "bankrupt liberal viewpoint"

 

The ends justifies the means...

Look out for #1....

Take what you can get..

my way or the highway...

These are attitudes I would consider bankrupt from anyone whether republiCON or demoncat.

They are destructive, self centered attitudes that only hurt others in the long run.

 

Agreed, do however think most people have at least some of these bad qualities, I'll admit it I do at times.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to debunked again.

 

(.049 or 4.9%) - (.042 or 4.2%) would be a .007 or .7% difference.

Notice there are no 23.56% or 49.82% thrown in for good measure.

An unemployment rate at (6.0% or .060) - (4.2% or .042) would be a difference of 1.8% or .018. It would not be a difference of 1.7% as you indicated.

Quick lunch break! Working at a client site this week. Should be able to rejoin the festive retard, fucking idiot, moron (has dickhead been mentioned yet?) debate this weekend, if there's anything left of it.

 

The increase or difference however would be the percent gained or lost from the 2 numbers, not the actual percent of the overall population. I think I see now where you are getting your calculations from, guess it depends on how you are looking at it.

Both could be considered correct, if argued correctly

 

It's not the overall population. It's the unemployment percentage. The population is already calculated in the unemployment percentage numbers the US Bureau of Labor releases each month.

Which is why when you have an unemployment rate of 4.9% (of a total of 100%) and it drops to 4.2%, it would be a difference of .7%.

 

Yes I know that, I should have stated the total unemployed from the workforce. Remember we had this debate once before

You're saying lets say 5% to 5.5% is a .5% increase in the total overall equation.

While the other side is stating 5% to 5.5% is a 5% increase because of the actual increase percent wise between the two numbers.

The numbers are above were made up, the percents may not be right I just quickly threw them up. I am trying to figure out where the difference is between the 2 sides, is my assumption correct?

 

Dont have to. It is my opinion based on what I see in day to day life.

 

Gtech, it is an issue of what number will make it look worse. The 16% increase between the 2 numbers is correct, however, like the math problem I put up earlier, numbers can make things look better or worse than they are by portraying the answer differently.

Look at graphs that the media puts out, then get the raw data and use the whole graph and not the edited version. It will open the eyes up to the manipulation from media sources trying to make things look worse (sometimes better) than they really are.

This is a realllllllly old game that most don't know about.

Is this in the right thread?

 

Is it even the right forum?

 

So then I am taking it correctly where the argument lies. I see both numbers to be roughly the same at any glance, but you are correct a lower number looks better for one side while a higher number looks better for the other side, even though in reality they are the same thing.

 

Am I in the right world?

 

Am I on the correct internet?

Sorry couldn't resist.

 

Who am I anyway? What am I? WTF is going on here?
