Your ability to circle-jerk about how awesome you are for being incapable of communicating without resorting to things which are, by definition, logical fallacies (with the fancy latin name and everything) is not really evidence that said qualities are at all valuable. 1. It takes two to tango and ...

Crit, take a look at this bit of Kaelik's post: So Crit, are you a Mormon, or just an idiot? The point of all this being, don't waste your time trying to tell Kaelik how to communicate clearly, because that's not what he's here for. I would posit that Kaelik is a major reason for the ignore button....

http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/p20-558.pdf -- page 5 has the relevant bits. Not sure it supports your conculsion - for women with completed fertitility yeah (though it's pretty close between women with bachelors degrees and women who completed highschool) but if you look at current fertitility...

And just what demographics are you talking about? the poor and uneducated are the only ones that actually are reproducing at/beyond replacement rates. Got any statistically backed evidence for that within a country? In the US for example household income for 3 or 4 kid families is higher than 1 or ...

You got a link for this? Because I have a WWII POW for a father. When the Germans retreated from his camp, they basically left them there and opened the gates. Well Malemedy is the first example of the top of my head, but there are at least 4 incidents of SS massacring British POWs in 1940, let alo...

I know the Russians and the Japanese had a Non-aggression pact.. but yeah Stalin was only really confident that the Japanese wouldn't attack him when they rather foolishly decided to start something with someone else and thus could be confidently be counted as 'distracted' - The russian units from t...

liberal defeatist narrative no wonder the french got their asses handed to them in WWII Thus, ironcially, setting the stage for the eventual defeat of Germany in WWII. It was Hitler's insistance on reversing the dreaded treaty that ended WWI by having France sign its defeat on the anniversary. As a...

I still don't understand how the Difference Engine works on skill-points in a multi-class situation (the previous link). It's probably not important. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any real abuses or exploits I use. Generally any character I make is exactly as the writers seemed to intend...

I do agree with PL that the school you go to can fuck you in the ass with the HSC system (mostly because it becomes essential to score two standard deviations above your class if they are retarded in testing which is bloody hard work). This is the feature I dislike most about it. I went through unde...

Eh, HSC isn't that bad. The process is linear but complex, with many steps. Most of the complexity arises from the fact that the system plots the relative scores of every school leaver in the country against each other - even if you studied English/Religion/Maths for Retards/Some other random shit a...

If you want to try perhaps the most fun/surreal/retarded gaming experince ever made, try E.Y.E divine cybermancy. Featuring a plot that is WAY more convoluted than Deus Ex, as translated from french to english by a platoon of Apes and google translate, an RPG system with 12 starting upgradable cyber...

I don't get why the rest of the world doesn't simply storm Somalia, sinks all boats there, blows up anything that even looks like it was bought with loot and ransom money, and repeats that every years until they stop pirating. Tribute (which ransom is) doesn't work, we have seen that with the Barab...

I only just found out about how you have insurance for yourself as a driver in america. That shit is fucking weird. Anyway, check the prius miles thing with your car loans company. I'd be leery about buying it because of the very high miles, but my usual concern would be engine wear, which wouldn't ...
