d16842 0 #52 November 19, 2009 Quote I have been on government research panels (that now have a .gov domain) and no government official told us what to say or write. They don't need to John. Just pack the pannel with enough people of the correct mindset, and they just naturally wander to the "correct" conclusion. I make no claims about this paticular issue as I don't know much about the panel. But the practice I describe is a long proven tactic. Isn't that why Roosevelt wanted to pack the Supreme Court with additional members? Tom B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsey 0 #61 November 20, 2009 Statistics are a great tool that can be used to defend ANYTHING! People will believe who they want to believe and will go to great lengths to defend their position, despite...lol...logic. Funny how what's logical to another person is a solutely stupid, as far as I can see.... Nothing's black and white.-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

kallend 1,677 #62 November 20, 2009 It's funny that you continue to show the same confusion repeatedly despite being given ample chance to get it right.. An anecdote does nothing to contradict statistics. HOWEVER, only one counterexample is needed to disprove an assertion. There IS a difference. Think before you post any more garbage....
