I bet you have no idea why that is unintentionally hilarious.

The world is not perfect, and IF you can't figure out that there are a lot of IFs, then you shouldn't be making predictions.
Especially not predictions where your job is at risk.

Sorry, got my plate full.
Just started rereading Backlash.
It's sad to think that I need to read it again.
Next is When Abortion was a Crime.
Maybe after that.
I know he did some good work and got his name out there.

Please explain.
It seems obvious that he didn't take a lot into consideration.
Or made assumptions that were invalid.
IF is a big word and making predictions on big ifs that aren't well researched or plausible, then what is it other than random guessing?

Which 'he' are you talking about?

Of course the ifs have to be accounted for as best as possible.

I dont think he cared about whether his prediction was right or wrong as long as it attracted attention. And that predfiction was dead nuts because the fools here are still lapping this up

When one seeks advice or information from a group of people, one rarely consults a group of idiots. However, our election process has become exactly that. We are "polling" a group of people who have failed in life, due to low intelligence, lack of effort or education, and putting them in charge of selecting the president!

No wonder Obama was elected again. I wonder how any business would do by having the average democratic voter on thier board, makiing important decisions? Yet we just entrusted a group of morons to select the most powerful political position in the world.
Actually, the average American has an IQ of 100. 100 is the median line, and the median represents the average.
You're mistaking the average IQ with your own.
