Well I looked up the history of Depressions in this country......I can not name a single developed country on planet earth, that doesn't have a centralized bank.

Dude.....what are you trying to prove here? A little bit ago, it was Republicans 'fucking you over'. Now you want to talk about banks in 1907?"

I really don't know what your problem is. America isn't perfect, but it's certainly provides more than enough opportunity for someone like yourself to enjoy a prosperous life. If you're gonna roll your eyes and go on foolishly believing that the system is stacked against you, you're going to be fucking miserable forever.

I'm just pointing out the fact that you are actually more likely to achieve the "American Dream" in Western Europe, than you are here in the United States.

"The United States is "behind many countries in Europe in terms of the ability of every kid in America to get ahead.""

I told you my work history. Long hours, shitty pay, poverty stricken at the end of the day. If a cop pulls me over during one of my commutes, I'm losing weeks and weeks, and weeks, of disposable income.

Besides the mailroom ,the only job I held that paid me decently for time/work invested was drug dealing, but unfortunately, that's highly illegal.

Furthermore, considering I was 1 of a room full of autistic people to NOT be on disability, I think you should be glad that I'm the only guy there not withdrawing government benefits when everyone else. Boo fucking hoo, my healthcare is covered. If we can afford $1.5 trillion for the failed F35 program, my healthcare is the least of this country's concerns.

The more I learn statistics the more I realize the saying "lies, damned lies, and statistics" should just be "statistics, statistics, and statistics."

My favourite use of statistics is in sports broadcasting and more general use by the sport watching public.

Explain.

Explain.

You can manipulate statistics to come up with whatever desired conclusion you want on whichever dataset you wish to do so. C'mon wuf, you know this.

That was my point. I thought you were saying that point was wrong.

Then it should have bee n"lies, damn lies and god damn lies" or something along those lines. I guess we can chalk that one to "Lost in translation"
