    A single number is useless for most rating systems. A graph is what we need - one that would distantly show multiple peaks. Then you would know that while most dislike a show, those that like it really LOVE it.

    That sounds like exactly what Neilson ratings are. They break it out into age groups, sex, and good or bad ratings.

    Really? Where?

    Also, last I checked, the gamergate movement was about favorable coverage given to a woman who was sleeping with a journalist, but I guess it is your job to report on every action taken by a group of people you don't know, and just assume you know everything about.

    What proof is given that anyone is behaving poorly? Is it known that none of these supposed men watched and did not enjoy these shows? Is it 100% for sure these people posting poor reviews are even men? Do we know for a fact that any of them are out to sabotage anything and not just giving their personal opinion of the show from their experience watching it?

    Wow, you are even more psychic than FiveThirtyEight, you even know what kind of men they are, and not just that they are men who are "sabotaging the online reviews of TV shows aimed at women", without any kind of interaction with them to even determine that they are actually men, and that they aren't just giving their honest opinions of the show.

    I was wondering how FiveThirtyEight was able to tell the sex of the reviewers with any kind of accuracy. Did they do DNA testing to determine, or are they just assuming that the people labeling themselves men in their account's sex field are all men? Or, even better, why is it that these could not be legitimate reviews from men who didn't like the show when their wives made them watch it?

    Did you just make that up, or are you posting from a conspiracy theory group?

    The crime is in the coercion. You can willingly share all of your things, but when you try to force others who don't want to live that way, that is criminal. What indication is there that this bank earned their money in a "bad" way?

    I find it funny that you still point to Bush as if he caused the crash when the crash was caused by Clinton. I do believe I have even corrected you on this previously.

    I find it funny that that article has this little gem:

    Commentators, including former President Clinton in 2008 and the American Bankers Association in January 2010, have also argued that the ability of commercial banking firms to acquire securities firms (and of securities firms to convert into bank holding companies) helped mitigate the financial crisis.[14]

    since the whole crisis was caused in the first place by the banking deregulation he signed that allowed for speculation on mortgages that should never have been used as investment mechanisms in the first place.

    It is a worthy enough cause that Mexico wants to help fund a wall. Perhaps you should learn a little about the world before trying to paint everyone as racists.

    The fact of the matter is that 100% of illegal immigrants have committed a crime, that crime is called illegal immigration, and is punishable by deportation. Anything that reduces the crime rate of people entering the US is a good thing, as these people apparently have no regard for the laws of the US as they break them entering our country.

    That offers the additional benefit of not needing to constantly check your speedometer to see if you are "safely" above the posted limit.

    If I just drive, and don't check my speedometer, I will most assuredly be going well over the legal 10mph over the posted speed limit (Maryland law). If I just flow with traffic, or rely on my ability to read every road sign to gauge my speed I will be running 15-20 over the speed limit. If you have trouble with these things, perhaps you are the one who is an issue.

    I check the speedometer for what it is used for, to keep my speed down into the legal range, not to make sure I am only going 15 over the speed limit.

    Perhaps you are the one who needs to go back to driver's education, as it seems you don't know what a speedometer is for.
