Proof that the loudest, craziest, most out-of-whack people get all of the attention.

I just looked through the list of topics on this forum. It is definitive proof that if you are willing to make absolutely crazy and extreme arguments, you will get people to talk to, and about, you.

I consider this "social experiment" known as the political/religious forum to be definitive proof that the 15% of radical extremists in our society have managed to get the remaining 85% of rational people to discuss and dispute entirely ridiculous ideas and concepts. And entirely dominated the conversation with nonsense...so much so that there is no room left, or interest remaining, to rationally discuss intelligent ideas.

Statistics were derived from where? 15/85 And are you in the 85?

Arguing with Marcus is good stress relief. At the very least I know there are people way crazier than me out there.

I made them up...that's what you do here. I'm sure I could go online and find some website to support that, but the question is....

Can you present definitive proof that the 15% statistic is not true. Definitive proof...I will accept nothing less. And don't give me any crap from CNN, MSNBC, FOX, BBC, NBC, NPR, PBS or any of those other sources of crap news....I want real news sources. Sources that have the words "freedom" "liberty" "america" and "blog" in the web address.

So, unless you are willing to spend a couple of hours proving me wrong, then I will take your submission as proof that I am right...and we can continue the pointless conversation hurling unsupported accusations and vapid conclusory statements at one another.

It took me less than a couple of hours, 1.4578678 hours to be exact but the number is closer to 13.OICU812%. If you can find the sources, in just a couple of hours you can post them....

Real Proof the 15% statistic is correct.

BS. There is nothing in that source that defines what actually is rational. And the source looks like it was photoshoped.

Nonsense, it is on the internet. THE INTERNET!!! Do you think they just let anyone type anything on the internet. No way may, it's totally legit.

I know right. That damned easter thread just wouldn't go away

This is about the only time I will ever agree with Chaum. This section is a great stress relief...well, until someone lights the fuse on the other guy's tampon then all bets are off. The guy banter of poking fun and calling each other names without anyone taking it too seriously is what differs from women having this type of conversation and...never mind, we all turn in to 7 year old girls from time to time on here. All in good fun though.
