Originally posted by burd View PostI didn't take stats--how does this "average," "mean," thing work? I mean, if you have a small population of people who are completely f c ing, irretrievably stupid as trump is, weighing down the midpoint, does that mean there will be more than 50% who are smarter than I am? (likely in any case)
Explain it like I'm in trump's grade.
If the group is mainly stupid, with a few super smart people pulling up the average, then the majority of people will be below the mean/average. In other words, the median is below the average.
Other way around if the group is mainly smart with a few super dumb people.

But many addicts are not necessarily just oblivious. My family has its fair share plus. They're smart enough. Coulter and Ingraham are not dumb and I don't think they're necessarily evil (but perhaps bad). Addicts just have a completely different psychological make up - while some are listening to music - they're getting a fix. I think there's a fear trait in them and they want to lash out. I'm not sure where the 'let's make everyone on the left an enemy' came from...but I do know that the left is more than tired of it.Go Gophers!

Originally posted by SJHovey View PostYep. This is exactly what I predicted months ago. Everyone here thought it was cute when some lawmaker spends his dinner in a restaurant getting verbally abused, but only because that lawmaker happened to be on the opposite side politically. Then I spent weeks getting ridiculed for suggesting that acting like a complete twatwaffle maybe isn't the preferred way to go, because all it does is further ramp up ridiculous behavior.
In fairness though most of the protesters didnt say these types of things they just chanted. This type of heckling is off the charts bad. Sad thing is it is pretty mainstream thinking amongst the GOP at this point...even some of the ones I know speak this way about people like Pelosi. the amount of vitriol the Right has towards her is rather astounding. I mean you can hate she is a liberal all you want to but what exactly has she done to make so many hate her? Her run as Speaker didnt lead to anything that should upset the Right that badly."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Other than that unless the person has done something ridiculously bad leave them alone when they are in public with their family.

The price of being a movie star is having people want your autograph and getting into congress is an important public gig. Its good to be popular and you should be rewarded. But if you're going to do what half the country thinks is criminal by throwing the public or country under the bus, you can suffer through a little personal discomfort.Go Gophers!

I'm not a fan of the yelling down in restaurants. Unless of course the politicians don't give these people access to protest in more appropriate forums. Then I say, "**** 'em."Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Since they haven't spoken to their constituents since voting to kill healthcare and given tax cuts to billionaires over a freaking year ago, people are forced to chase them down and scream at them."I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become. Over the years I've learned that ignorance is more than just bliss. It's freaking orgasmic ecstasy".- Harry Dresden, Blood Rites
