    I don't disagree with what you're saying, but the math you used to reach that is none less pervasive than using 1 out of statements. You also can't simply choose to ignore the changing number of your population. For simplicity's sake lets say there are 100 Asian people. 20 of them commit a crime. So you say 20% of Asian people are criminals. 64 of those Asian people die. Of the remaining 46, 20 of them are criminals, making for roughly 43%. Well now more Asian people are born and more of them die for a net change of +5 people. So now there is 69 people, but of those 20 that were criminals, 11 of them died while only only 2 more people were classified as criminals for a total of 11 criminals out of 69 people. Or, 22 criminals out of (at minimum) 116 people so that would make roughly 17% criminals.

    No, I get it--and you're math is sound, but the assumptions you've made skew the data far too greatly. The population isn't an even 50% for either gender. The rate of change isn't steady and if you're going to calculate it over time, you're going to have to compensate for it by understanding that the rate of change is not a constant thing. The number of women changes every year, as does the number of women raped each year.

    I'd also like to point out that when the 1/6th statistic was calculated for a single year and based off a sample population and that calculation in and of itself could have many issues.

    True, but I'd rather salvage what's left of it's original premise instead of talking about something else. Plus that thread would be more focused.

    would the critic happen to be Roger Ebert?

    and it's one of (if not my favorite) films of all time. it's very surreal, and very sad, and very windy and long-winded, and arguably self-indulgent, but somehow it all works perfectly and ends up being one of the most compelling and original movies I've ever seen. plus everything Charlie Kaufman writes is gold, so.

    basically I highly recommend it

    I've never checked the name of the anime the gif is from (I found it off of google images when typing "raptor gifs"), the only hint I got from it that it was the gif's title "turbogamecat."

    IN RESPONSE TO YOUR RESPONSE TO GEORGE IN THE WEIRD THINGS THREAD: have you seen Synecdoche, New York?

    Heh and you managed to get the gist of my message into one sentence: "It's easy to call them murderers if you dehumanize them." Which is why fraternizing with the enemy in war is considered such a heinous crime :/

    It's strange that this topic comes up when I'm right in the middle of re-reading the original Ender quartet. I'm watching the same basic issue that Card was writing about play out in our little web community.

    I'd like to say that I'm satisfied just with saying what I feel needs to be said, but it's hugely reassuring to know that this stuff actually resonates with somebody else. So I'm glad

    Sounds like fun

    I've never really had a problem with pot but I won't ever do it myself because of personal things

    like, some of my family does it too much and it's a problem

    all for it being legal though, it's not harmful

    Does the movie Wall-E accurately depicts what happens when humans live in space (everyone having massive bone loss, due to gravity, resulting in obesity)?
