Oh, I might watch it then.

I find Craig creepy. I suspect, like many outspoken religionists, he's more interested in self-promotion than religious devotion. Having said that, mo...

I'll take that as an offer of dessert as well as an invitation to work. :up:

It's kind of ugly to talk about art in a philosophical way, but seeing as I was invited, here are some fairly random thoughts...No quote either, just ...

I prefer them both. I want to come back to 'Murica and live out of Greyhound buses until I get so caked in dirt they kick me off and I have to trek up...

True that. Read: money.

Sorry, I missed that reply because of the CPR thing. Emergencies first! Randomly using the word "scientism" is not going to get you out of this. Anyho...

Let me spell it out for you @"Agustino" 1) If you predicted Trump would win the overall vote percentage wise by any margin then you were more wrong th...

@"Agustino" I'll answer your questions if you answer mine. Scouts honour. :up:
March 14, 2018 at 20:04
Don't try to dodge, especially in such a cowardly way by pretending I don't want to discuss the issue. I do, which is why I asked you the fair questio...

On the basis that Trump was more popular, which he wasn't, and captured the heart of the nation, which he didn't. In other words, you guessed and were...

...that he would win less votes than her. Keep digging.
March 14, 2018 at 19:55
I phrased my point badly maybe. I meant I wouldn't do anything (until I had assessed the situation- quickly).
March 14, 2018 at 19:52
No worries. Didn't sound all that angry to me anyhow...
March 14, 2018 at 19:51
I didn't say I wouldn't do anything. Just the opposite. I said I would do the right thing by assessing the situation. You just misunderstood.
March 14, 2018 at 19:50
Buxte qualified his answer just like I did. I said "It depends". He said "unless". Those are both qualifying statements. He wouldn't do anything eithe...
March 14, 2018 at 19:46
Yes, and Clinton's intensity was higher, she got more people to vote for her. Keep digging.
March 14, 2018 at 19:39
You could ask them or watch to see if they are doing CPR. You could shout at them that you can do it and take over if you can. Doing something stupid ...
March 14, 2018 at 19:38
No, because you were using it to predict who would win the vote. Each person has one vote. The intensity of energy of individuals is irrelevant in an ...
March 14, 2018 at 19:36
Yes, and which one you pick depends on your knowledge and theirs. If they know CPR and you don't, you let them get on with it and vice versa.
March 14, 2018 at 19:32
I agree but since Trump got less votes from the nation - "Trump captured the heart of the nation" deserves a :vomit: :vomit:
March 14, 2018 at 19:31
Depends on what you and they know about the medical situation, particularly with regard to CPR.
March 14, 2018 at 19:30
OK, so your gut got it all wrong about Trump capturing the heart of the nation etc. What is your new reason for predicting the win then since that's n...
March 14, 2018 at 19:28
And you still haven't explained how Trump "captured the heart of the nation" when he lost the popular vote. The heart of the nation is based on the el...
March 14, 2018 at 19:26
Show me where you did that before the election. Quote yourself. Otherwise tell me what your predicted percentages were because if you want to compare ...
March 14, 2018 at 19:23
Tell me about it...damn. :fire:
March 14, 2018 at 19:17
OK, so now you're saying your prediction was that Clinton would get more votes than Trump (and Trump would just win by the electoral college), and you...
March 14, 2018 at 19:16
And there was me thinking you were a convert to the Agustino method for getting things wrong and then claiming credit for being a genius. Close call.....
March 14, 2018 at 18:59
Google gives close to 15,000 results, so it's out there.
March 14, 2018 at 18:57
OK, but what exactly do you disagree with in what I wrote? I was pretty specific and qualified in what I was saying about polling. Plus, it took me at...
March 14, 2018 at 18:53
This is calculated for (although you may be right that it wasn't calculated for enough in the last presidential election or others you've experienced)...
March 14, 2018 at 18:17
I predict Agustino won't explain why him predicting Trump would get more votes than Hillary because he was more popular than her, and unlike almost ev...
March 14, 2018 at 15:39
Yes, @"Michael", is a bit of a wild one. No matter how many times we suggest he use logic and reason in his arguments, he just can't keep his gut feel...
March 14, 2018 at 14:55
You're conflating what's fair and your imaginary ability to predict things. So, as I said, 538 were within 1.5% of the final tally and were right that...
March 14, 2018 at 14:19
Last thing, for all you poll doubters, the last prediction of 538 gave Trump a decent 28.6% chance of winning the election and predicted the result wo...
March 14, 2018 at 13:55
I still marginally prefer Trump to Clinton on a personal level btw folks. Mostly because he appears to be less calculating in his lying. Regarding pol...
March 14, 2018 at 13:49
That's my point, Trump was less popular and less desired by Americans, so all this stuff about America wanting him is wrong. They didn't. (Clinton won...
March 14, 2018 at 13:42
The electoral college. More Americans voted for Clinton than Trump. You know that, right?
March 14, 2018 at 13:39
Lol. I'm not cheering for any side but...Never mind, that's funny. :100:
March 14, 2018 at 13:38
No, if that were the case, most Americans would have voted for him, but they didn't, they voted for Clinton.
March 14, 2018 at 13:37
Piling credit on yourself for mostly random events and then confabulating reasons that make you look smart or prescient is SAD!.
March 14, 2018 at 13:32
That's not a method, it's a love song to Trump and totally irrelevant. Don't you realize that Trump would have lost if it were not for an unlucky brea...
March 14, 2018 at 13:30
Did you predict Conor Lamb would lose then?
March 14, 2018 at 13:26
Because no-one here is providing a method more consistently reliable than polling to listen to. You can have a bad method or no method and still be ri...
March 14, 2018 at 13:26
Quote your explanation.
March 14, 2018 at 13:24
So, you guessed right on a close to 50/50 chance. So what? You really think that has any significance at all for anything?
