Hey look, another ship was seized by the Israeli army, nobody resisted and nobody was hurt, what a coincidence. Then again, what part of "blockade" do these idiots not understand?

My point about Red was he SHOULD have pointed out that 2007 had nothing to do with the Obama Admin. A much better defence than saying "show its not the lowest in history."

Which is rather clearly not what you said:
You
You got all defensive for no reason.

That is not the same as saying he was getting defensive for the wrong reason. It's possible Red didn't notice the information wasn't +2009 because he expected an unreasonable degree of competence and/or integrity from DS.

And no, that still wouldn't make this Red's fault, because a.) the effect on the graph would still be exactly the same and b.) DS would still be responsible for either screwing up or attempting to lie. The claim that the graph was used as "propaganda" would be perfectly reasonable either way; "LOL@Obama Administration" doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room.

You, meanwhile, are completely ignoring what DS did and why he might have done it, which - again - is retarded because it's what prompted Nemesis to respond. You're not doing yourself any favors by continually refusing to acknowledge this.

Who cares if its not the lowest in history? Its been 80 years.

Which does nothing to discredit his observation. The '07 curve is the only one intended to imply relevance based on its position on the timeline, and that's because it's the only one that pertains to "now." Even then the curve itself only elicits the reaction it does because it portrays a significantly greater anomaly than the others do. This would not be the case if the information pertaining to the Depression was charted on there. Don't pretend you can tell me off the top of your head the details of the second biggest dip on that graph.

This isn't complicated, TJ, and if you're going to backpedal some more you may as well concede you were wrong to begin with.

^Classic. Even I couldn't fit that much bullshit and nonsense into one post. Its posts like this that would never make me consider puttimg Faunus on ignore, regardless of how many times he tries to involve himself in a conversation regarding a topic he knows nothing about. Bravo, sweet prince. Bravo

Those are recent. There is a continuing trend.

How dare you put Kathy Griffin above Dane Cook. How dare you.

I hate Dane Cook and I hardly watch stand up comedians.

This is not only an inevitable result of Obama's expansion of the public sector, but the administration's and bernanke's constant manipulation and misrepresentation of the unemployment stats. This effect on the market has been constant for over a year, almost everytime unemployment statistics come out. I made a hefty profit o the triple leveraged etfs thanks to the market tanking on Friday.

The EU section is now the most posted-in of all

Spoiler:
four
Star Wars sections.

Ha.

Eww.

I abandoned the other two when I realized all they do is talk about their personal lives and a bunch of trite nonsense.

Oh... wait...

Oh.

Damn; according to the UN, 10% of the global population controls 85% of the world's capital.

"'We use the term in its long-established sense of net worth: the value of physical and financial assets less debts. In this respect, wealth represents the ownership of capital."

"The most comprehensive study of personal wealth ever undertaken also reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. In contrast, the bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth."

Yup. You would love "wall street".

It really hits home why my economic textbook opens up with the line in every chapter.

"Resources are limited. Human wants are unlimited."

Every single chapter, begins with that line.

That's the central theme of economics. How humans take scarce resources and how they use them efficiently, or not, to satisfy their needs.

Naturally. But the next one's all yours.

And someone tell me if DS ever actually explains himself.

Actually I'd appreciate it if people continue to not quote him.

A lot.

But I'll explain to TJ about bias and how statistics and graphs can be skewed, if necessary.

That's what I said a while ago.

I simply want to be informed if he says something relevant.
