They are funny though.

Mind you it wouldn't surprise me if being funny is banned soon.

I am not being dishonest when I read this post as claiming that the 77% figure is false:

I am happy to accept that you conceded that you were mistaken, but it's not clear to me how you can first concede that you were incorrect, and then later accuse me of dishonesty for pointing out that you were wrong.

You just made a post highlighting someone getting their video feed cut off and people laughing like schoolchildren over it. You're like one step away from making "your momma" jokes about Trump. Why do you think you are in a position to make fun of anyone?

It's like Fly and Einbert had a dumb baby and you are the result.

You have nothing to worry about.

Fun is not allowed.

Because the study/data is used to support the argument that it's due to discrimination of women.

And for my 2000th post. Congratulations to me.

Thanyou Thankyou.

Yes, and your accusation in that post was that the authors of scientific studies on the wage gap were guilty of using the data to reach that conclusion, which is false. That is the point on which I was correcting you. You've now moved your goalposts to claiming that other people misuse the data, but that is not what you claimed originally, and not what I was responding to.

Indeed, I made this point about the limitations of BLS data directly in my post. If you were to go back to the very first time I responded to you on this subject, you will find that there I also made the distinction about what the BLS data supports and does not support vis-a-vis discrimination very clear. You will find that I have always quite charitably clarified that the BLS data does not support strong claims of discrimination in and of itself. I have always instead provided other studies which use other data to reach measures of discrimination, as well as other related factors.

You are welcome to accuse me of dishonesty as much as you like, but all of this confirms in my view what I said originally: you haven't made the effort necessary to even follow my arguments, so your accusations on this are pretty empty.

Right, because this is the level of respect the rest of the world has for your president. This is what you voted for, embrace it!

I could do that and I'd still be a classier and more dignified individual than the president you voted for, lol

I guess being laughed at by people all over the world is yet another thing wil has discovered he has in common with Trump.

What a horrific thought.

Frankenstein would look tame in comparison.

I do embrace it. I'm as happy as can be he's president and I fully support him. To be honest, the more your side cries the more I like him.

Being laughed at for being correct doesn't bother me at all. It just makes spiking the football so much sweeter.

Fair enough. I'll have to be more careful in how I describe data in terms of accuracy.
06-29-2017 , 04:42 PM
You mean you'll have to be more careful not to call it inaccurate when it is in fact accurate.

It paints an innacurate picture. I don't think I was out of line, especially considering I've said many times that the number itself is technically true.
