I'll have to trust you on this. Our voter turnout was pretty much exactly like it was in 2012 which was just a bit lower than 2008. I live in a purple state, maybe that's the difference? I'm not really sure because, from here

My view on the freedom of expression is well known, so I'll try to avoid being verbose. Does the institution receive funding from the government? If so, can it legally prohibit lawful speech? SCOTUS has pretty much decided that it can

Again, I'm sure there is some selection bias but nobody I know (in the real world) is vocalizing any opinions that the democratic process is in danger. Some vocal people online are, but I've not met them. Who are these people? Whe

Indeed, it's quite a rarity to find an unincorporated township in New England. Mine is just a letter. The rules are pretty minimal, the municipal services do not exist, and the large animals vastly outnumber the people. I read this art

See, that's kind of the thing. I admit there is quite some selection bias, but I don't actually think I know a single person who had their vote changed by said propaganda. Hearing that Clinton ate babies, was nearly dead, was goin

Before you yell at me, I will clarify that I'm very much on the left side of the political spectrum. Didn't she call Trump supporters a 'basket of deplorables?' I don't think incitement of hate against different gro

The total number of people who believe in pizzagate is vanishingly small and I'm not actually sure they can properly mark a ballot without assistance. They overlap heavily with people who think everything is a conspiracy, probably perp

Of course I do. It's rather contrived, now isn't it? We've effectively just said, 'Well, bugger it. We don't have to expand that.' We've all agreed it equals one. That's kind of silly. I can quote the

I live in the continental United States. Hell, I'm not even that remote. I have DSL and cell service that borders on effective, depending on the season and weather. It's not like I live in Alaska. People get lost here, all the dam

Oh! I like that. I will counter that I can hold what I believe to be an apple, or close enough to being a single apple. I can not do so with a -1 apple. Horrible, really. ;-)

Yeah, they look like nice friendly things you want to cuddle and pet - unless your first encounter with them is in a swamp while you're in a very inebriated state. (Meaning my state, not the State of Louisiana, though they are often pr

You have given me one of the best chuckles I've had in weeks. Thanks! Err... If you really wanted, you could probably use a search engine and figure out who I am. I actually am a mathematician. But, you can keep your wager.

Oh, Louisiana. That is where I met a crazy swamp beast that scared the hell out of me. It turns out, it was a Nutria and similar to this frog deal. They were supposed to be a profitable critter to raise but they aren't. No, the one I m

The US is pretty big. I have neighbors that ATV and snowmobile the last few miles to their house, except during the very few months that they can wrestle an old Jeep up there. Google Maps isn't very helpful.

I'd suggest the two are currently intertwined.

Hmm... I don't really have one. Oh, I've made lots of mistakes and done lots of things at the wrong times, but that is what has made me who I am. I kind of like who I am, so I wouldn't want to change that.

What happens when there is no place left for the deplorable? The 'net was meant to work around censorship. Look at what it has become. Reddit is just another brick in the wall. They can do this. Indeed, perhaps they should. But should

I'm not white. I'm quite distinctly not white. They would harm me, if they had the courage and means. You would deprive them of their liberties without due process and you would do so out of fear. You justify it and call it ration

I do understand it. In fact, I understand it quite well. I can give you the textbook definitions. I've studied them completely. I hold a Ph.D., you know. You are accepting rote still, as opposed to concerning yourself with the Philosop

There's a huge difference between appeasement and allowance of basic human rights, dignity, due process, empathy, and even sympathy. I have had to lay down suppressive fire. I was willing to do so, but I hoped anyone I hit was killed q

Well, yes. They are insane. Infinity is a rubbish idea, by the way. I've given it much thought and concluded it is best to just not think about it. Cantor was a lunatic, and I'm not entirely certain that infinity isn't a caus

Heh... You kinda prove my point for me. If you could step up to the board and actually expand the ... for us, we'd be much obliged. You can keep writing 9 forever and you will never reach a whole number. But, it does reach a whole numb

Rightfully, they just voted me down and refuse to think about it. I can't blame them, really. They were probably taught mathematics by rote and maybe stopped at arithmetic.

by KGIII 9y ago
No, I'm not confused about it. It's just a horrible, horrible lie. ;-) If it goes on forever, it can't reach the whole number. But, I can prove it is equal to one. Horrible.

I know it is flagged but I want to thank the mods for not truly killing it. It was mostly civil. The mods were pretty decent, and deserve our thanks. For the most part, the comments were pretty good too. I read them all. ;-)

Hmm... This gave me an interesting thought. Well, interesting to me. I give it to you. What happens when Saudi Arabia gives region to a robot? I imagine it would be assigned. Would it need to be assigned a religion to work at Mecca during t

You assumed I was a free speech absolutist. I am not. I am not an extremist. Rights must have reasonable restrictions. They are things like libel, slander, child pornography, classified material by a person who has clearance, etc... Those a
