Please stop, what you’re saying is too accurate. Could you potentially edit some pitchforks and such into your comment?

I see now, interesting, the chart I was looking at completely omitted China for whatever reason, so that was what I was assuming he meant

by aje403 9y ago
I think I've heard of that. Went ahead and looked at the charts and it looks like the only mention of China were Taipei, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore. That's kinda biased. For example, we could equivalently grab all the student

Wow, that is a huge leap in difficulty. The SATs are simple math. The GREs are as simple, which is presumably four years farther along than the SATs. However, it's hard answering all those questions correctly in the given time frame (p

Would guess that it is at MIT/Stanford. A key thing to remember is that the top minds of the world aren't really emigrating to go to China to study or bring their family and that isn't going to change anytime soon. All roads

I'm speaking from personal experience with the people I have met and observed. I do not subscribe to any conservative ideology or the hyper-liberalism espoused by many on this site. I am a reasonably intelligent white male with good pa

Hi sremani, I was not seriously suggesting that the nation come together to contemplate whether Alabama should seceed or not, but that will not stop me dreaming.

What you're saying is basic common sense (although apparently people are actually handed money to research this as well, which strikes me as scientific welfare). Here is a recipe to have more "luck" in your life and to eventu

Frankly, I think it is often jealousy. It is not blatantly false that if you work harder, take a second job, take night classes, save and start a business, that you can rise up in the social ladder and provide more opportunity for your chil

What specifically are you suggesting happen? Did I say anywhere in my post that tax rates should not be raised for the wealthy, or that the estate tax should not be raised? I am making a specific counterargument to a post arguing that wealt

Should probably bow out after this one; I don't think there is much room for rational discussion for my viewpoints here. I agree that walmart is a piece of crap, but you don't really know what suffering is. Please ask your grandpa

In no way am I supporting or agreeing with unfettered inherited wealth and you're making an obvious statement. With that being said, someone with high intelligence and a strong work ethic does have opportunity for success, especially i

I'm not sure what to tell you, people who have built organizations that employee thousands of people have contributed more to society than average. If that needs further justification then I'm not even sure how to respond to that.

by aje403 9y ago
I mentioned there are exceptions to that and explicitly mentioned it is a law of averages rather than an absolute rule...which is basically your comment.

by aje403 9y ago
I did not write a lengthy thesis to explicate every idea, but I would associate inherited wealth with high class and would certainly not consider that a slight stretch.

This is a distortion. Young men see rich men with beautiful women flying to anywhere they want on the planet. Only a few of them will get that when they're older, and it oftens boils down to intelligence, work ethic, cleverness, other

I agree with you completely. I got downvoted on a thread several weeks ago for finding issue in the US placing below Mexico on a "(relative) child poverty" measure. Regardless of whether their methodology or even results are corre

While I don't know either of them so it is an unfair judgment to make, I would guess there's a big difference in thoughts in the back of their head: "These idiots aren't getting their money back, wait for my next play...

I'm not really sure that's fair. In fact, IANAL and have zero knowledge of law, but the two had seemingly nearly opposite intent of their crimes. Who knows what was going on in the girl's head, but it sounds more like a bunch

Your majesty, it's not normandy beach for (relatively) inane gender linguistics, either. Regardless, I would not want it on my conscience to ignore the irony of someone named chx lambasting another person for using the word chicks with

Great point. Then perhaps we should aspire to be like gorillas, instead. Instantaneous, implicit martingales and brownian motion calculation in their minds subconsciously, exactly like us, except, they don't shitpost on the reddit.

I suspected that I shouldn't have put that into my post or should have qualified it with a statement regarding how completely useless of a metric it is. My general point was that probably around half of the planet is humping a tree as
