Donald Trump
" Assuming people know jack about politics because they're honest and hardworking is like assuming people know jack about politics because they're famous actors. It's also assuming a succesful actor can't also be honest and hardworking. And just for the record I'd place the deeply religious (and especially a god-damned sect) at the very bottom of the basket of Generic-Groups-of-People-Who's-Advise-You-Should-Listen-To, on account of building their ideology on a demonstrably false and downright delusional framework. Oh, in addition to being a fucking sect. Even if it rains. You won't get no glory on that side of the hole. Last edited by Upandatem#4635 on Oct 6, 2016, 6:41:54 AM

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the Amish showed up to wait Because it was raining. Part of their religion and heritage and culture is showing how they suffer harder hardships better with less.
Also pretty key demographic there, basically the microcosm of American population, perfect sample for basing extrapolation. saw a t-shirt quote the other day: There are two types of people in the world; those that can extrapolate from incomplete data. Hey...is this thing on? Last edited by LostForm#2813 on Oct 6, 2016, 10:22:10 AM

" You're joking, but there are 60k Amish living in Pennsylvania, which is a key state in this election. Also a lot of them in Ohio... GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence. Last edited by Xavderion#3432 on Oct 6, 2016, 5:44:57 PM

" Well that's almost one half of a whole percent. 0,468% of the estimated population as of 2015. You won't get no glory on that side of the hole.

" If the patriarchs tell everyone to vote Trump, and the turnout is like 60% among the whole population... could be enough to win it for him. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" Assuming I want people's advice based on what they know about politics... Assuming the average voter's interests align better with celebrities than hard working people. Assuming that honesty isn't important. Assuming that celebrities know anything about anything other than spending money, rehab and maintaining public exposure.

" 1) Just a rehash of the old "there are 10 kinds of people in the world.." meme 2)By definition, extrapolation is working outside a set of data - you are painting a broader picture from the limited information you have. The shirt would have been alright if it read "There are two types of people in the world: those that can extrapolate" Making pithy statements on a T-Shirt, when you don't even understand the concept - Not Even Once.

1) just a rehash of the "there are two types of people in the world" meme would have been sufficient really.
2) they are extrapolating that there are two quantifiable types of people from data evidence of one type of person, meaning they (the narrator) are extrapolating that one quantifiable type of person indicates that one and only one other type of person exists, and evidence can be collected if the effort is put in to show the conclusion firmly. They themself, the speaker's conscious, is making the extrapolation from what they assume to be incomplete data set since their conclusion is the existence of another type. Hence they objectively can conclude the data set is incomplete; Almost would have to or would be in internal disagreement of conclusions, showing a type of schizophrenia rather than a logical fallacy as intended by the meme. I tried a not only once thing here, but it was about your conclusion being a touch ironic rather than directed back at the t shirt, and was wrong tone for a joke here. Hey...is this thing on?

" Considering the way I put my statement out there, it was just begging to be hit with a fusillade of critique. Too much absolutism in it. Maybe a better version of the T-shirt would have been "There are two types of people in the world; those that can extrapolate from incomplete data correctly..." Had a quick peek at the USA Today link - that is certainly a lot of lawsuits. Almost half were gamblers who didn't want to pay their debts (didn't see if those were filed by Trump or against Trump yet), and haven't read enough to see if any of it was related to taxes. Trump is certainly no angel. "The only legitimate use of a computer is to play games." - Eugene Jarvis

"Well, I hope you're not saying incumbency is the problem. So I'm really curious what you mean by inbreeding here. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
