Statistics in general piss me off, because they can be misconstrued and manipulated in so many subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways to prove practically any outcome.

Damn lurking variables and shifty, corrupt poll-takers.

I am so, so lame.

Yeah. You youth and your Postman Pat, and you're talk radio, and Will Smith, and yer... jhodpurs.

Stop bashing Jackson. You all do it for the same reason you bash Bush, because everyone else does it. It's not even laughable anymore (not that Family Guy has a fucking clue :dodgy: )

Havoc 04-24-2006 02:25 AM

I know why people bash on Bush (BASH THE BUSH! BASH THE BUSH) simply because it's a factual fact (I just made that term up, you better use it) that he IS an idiot.

People bashing on Jackson is stupid because they have no reason for doing so. None of us knows what the hell happened in the guys house with that kid. None of us knows wether or not the parents are in this for the money and none of us knows exactly what evidence was presented to the court. The court does know this and they set him free on ALL charges. I don't think it's up to any f*cking one to tell a court and a jury that they are wrong while you don't know jack shit.

There, just wanted to vent that. I don't like Micheal, he is a freakshow IMO and I don't realy like his music, but no-one should go trough what that guy went trough. Well... maybe a handfull of people, but yea.

EDIT: So thats another thing that pissed me off, people who are making judgements on stuff they don't know anything about.

Nate 04-24-2006 05:30 AM

Strictly speaking, the court found Jackson not guilty because the kid's parents were money-hungry whores who only wanted to blackmail him. They changed their story about ten times. And the first case back in the early 90's never went to court because Jacko paid out that family.

Now, how does that help Used? Try and be a little less demeaning (and stop jumping to conclusions) and we'll all get along better.

On the topic of misleading terms in advertisments, I can't stand Current Affairs shows that either a) Make up a story out of nothing or b) Decide what their story is before they actually know anything and do everything in their power to convince their audiences to believe their own bullshit opinions.

Munch's Master 04-24-2006 09:55 AM

On this Jackson/Bush bashing issue, I'll reiterae what Havoc said in regards to Bush-He is a fool who shouldn't be anywhere near a governemnt position. I will also say, I have never bashed Jackson, sure he is a bit weird,and I;m not a fan of him, but I've never bashed him and I think the hard stuff he goes through probably is undeserving (Unless the pedophilia rumours that are supposedly true turn out to really be fact, in which case I retract my statement)

That's exactly what I mean, Havoc. People berate Bush because he's an idiot, but they don't actually know why he's an idiot. I hate Bush as much as the next guy, don't get me wrong, but at least I can give several reasons why.

Havoc 04-24-2006 10:40 AM

Iraq, thats one of a million reasons. I think a lot of people have their own reasons to hate the guy. But just as many people just follow what they hear.

OANST 04-24-2006 11:16 AM

I think we have out grown the need for the electoral college. Time to get rid of it.

Bullet Magnet 04-24-2006 12:19 PM

George W Bush's IQ is four points above that of the smartest Gorilla. Fact.

I got some more of my pet hates. This is my favourite one. I once saw on a bottle of hay fever nasal spray the disclaimer: Side effects include mild sneezing.

Huh?

It says it all really. I just cannot begin to express my… Aaargh!

Another one went just completely over the top. A skin cream, being sold on the Internet used a twisted barrage of scientific bullshit to try to sell it. There are many such products on the Internet, and they are so obvious it's a wonder anyone actually buys them.

It started by making the ridiculous claim that the world's oxygen levels were rapidly decreasing in the modern age. Excuse me? The world's oxygen levels have remained at a stable 21% of the atmosphere for the pass 3.5 BILLION years. It then went on to erroneously state that the skin needs to breathe oxygen to remain healthy. For those of you currently unaware, we are NOT amphibians, and as such do not use our skin for gaseous exchange. We have our lungs for that, and besides, for it to be true we would have to keep our skin moist 24/7. It was once believed that you needed your skin exposed to the air to survive, and this can be seen in the ridiculous, if classic, James Bond scene where someone is condemned to death by being painted with gold (I'm sure someone can remind me of the film and the scene). Of course, gold is poisonous, and blocking off the pours can do funny things to your body by preventing perspiration. But the real deal with the advertisement, is its "patented use of liquid oxygen" in the cream to deliver it directly to the skin. It also states that no other product uses liquid oxygen. I'm not surprised, I certainly would not want to apply anything at -183 degrees C to my skin.

It just really bugs me that these people think we are that stupid, and it REALLY pisses me off when I realise that some people actually are!

Oh, for the love of Odd.

As much as I dislike our little retarded monkey of a President, that fact can be misleading. If you look at a map that shows the cities/counties/something that voted for Bush and the ones that voted for Gore, you'll see that many, many, many more voted for Bush. Gore was stupid and only concentrated on campaigning in heavily-populated states. He didn't even visit his home state (Tennessee)--not even once--but Bush campained here numerous times (I don't remember the number, but it was more than I would have guessed).

So if the population vote was all that was used, it's quite possible that all the future candidates would try to only concentrate on large cities and basically neglect everywhere else. So yeah... we need the electorial college for fair representation.

OANST 04-24-2006 01:23 PM

This is true. The only problem that I have with the electoral college is that they do not have to vote the way that the people vote. In essence, your vote doesn't HAVE to count. Normally it does count. But it doesn't have to.

I don't see how the Electoral College can give us fair representation, especially from some states with a population of 500,000 people or something.

The whole political structure pisses me off. I have no idea how Bush is still in power, with all of the lying and war mongering he's done throughout his career and also with trying to hand our sea ports off to another nation in the most unstable region of the world. Will somebody please give Bush a blow job so we can impeach him already?

Eh, I'm terrible at explaining these things, but I'll try. The higher populated states do get one or two more votes in the electorial college, but that's okay. It's better for an area to have a few more votes compared to some other, lowly populated states than it would be for the actual populations of each state to vote. The differences of votes by the tens isn't as overwhelming as votes by the thousands, millions, etc. Of course the states with millions of people would always win. But with the representation voting, the lower populated states have more of a chance.

Some people overcomplicate a subject in such a way that you think that a profound statement is coming, only to discover that you already knew it:

"Walking on a ceiling is very different from normal walking," Stanislav Gorb of the Max Planck institute for Metals research, Germany, says in a press release, "because gravity tends to pull an inverted insect away instead of pressing it to the surface." Thanks for the insight.

Other people get into an angry rage in a debat that is supposed to be light and for the interest of the audience.

Extract from New Scientist

Sparring physicists provided some entertainment at the annual Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, held last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Physicists Andrei Linde, Michio Kaku, Lisa Randall, Lawrence Krauss and Virginia Trimble tussled over the theme "Universe: One or Many?" taking a packed audience on a dizzying trip to the farthest reaches of cosmological imagination. Sometimes the trip was too unsettling even for the physicists themselves.
Kaku, of the City University of New York, spoke at one point of the possibility of tunnelling into other universes through space-time foam, harnessing the power of negative energy. "Genesis happens all the time," he said. "Continuous genesis in an ocean of Nirvana, and the ocean is 11-dimensional hyperspace."
As Kaku spoke, Krauss, of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, looked on as if he was about to have an aneurysm. He turned to Kaku. "If there are an infinite number of universes," he declared, "I can’t imagine one in which I agree with what you just said."
During the question and answer session, a young member of the audience asked if our universe was the first in the tree of branching universes projected on the backdrop behind the speakers. "It’s extraordinarily unlikely that we live in the first universe," Linde, of Stanford University, explained. "We live in the middle of infinity."
That was too much for the chair of the evening, Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium of New York. "We live in the middle of infinity?" he repeated. "Did those words just come out of your mouth?"

This one doesn't bug me in particular, but I'm sure someone out there finds my posting of it in the thread annoying, and will proceed to add "Bullet Magnet" to their list of irritating things.

My computer pisses me off. The internet just disconnected itself for the past 20 minutes and no matter what I did, it refused to even attempt to re-connect (i'm on dialup). So I ha to turn the whole thing off, losing anything I was watching or downloading on the internet. :compmad:

Yes, agree absolutely on the shakey science in advertising gunk. It's getting a lot better than it used to be, I suppose, but it's still painful.

Political bitchfests where Parliament fling sadomasochistic verbal insults at each other instead of fixing any problems.

Tabloids.

The environmentally-friendly craze. It serves a practical purpose, but it leads to such idiocy. Tesco has built an environmentally-friendly supermarket somewhere. When asked if they'd make an effort to go there, several members of the public said they would to make sure it gets used. They obviously forget that that will multiply the overall pollution because they have to drive there. Oh, and there'd be less emissions still if the place didn't exist.

Tesco. What an arsehole of a company. 30% of the U.K. market? What do they seriously need that for, in the name of sanity? I mean, it's really great that people can now get all their food by conveniently driving further than is to walk to the local shops, but when the local shops are outcompeted by Tesco's soulless, heartless monopoly it makes you want to move into a ditch and survive off slurry.

Because Michael Jackson is so stupid that the very idea of him having more power than is necessary to peel his bananas makes me break out in a cold sweat?
