A) I never ran on a campaign of coming together with others, so I'm not sure what you are trying to get me on there.
B) I have no interest in coming together with people who clearly have racist principals (as you appear to, with your "Obama won because blacks are racist" stance). Yes, racists are just ignorant people who need to be educated, but educating them is not my job, nor do I desire it to be (I prefer spending my time doing things that aren't virtually certain to fail).
Near the bottom: "This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. Recipients of the credit will be required to conduct 100 hours of community service."
Sigh....You aren't even worth the time. You can't even seem to understand how many factors there are here that influence things. You appear to want to peg this all onto a single issue like race, and are making all these arguments. Gee, have you bothered to consider things like how much higher turnout was this time, how many people were discouraged from voting in the past that voted this time, etc?
Lower income people were more impacted under bush than were higher income. They are also the ones that will see a larger benefit under Obama than McCain, which means voting for Obama would be in their financial interest (at least short term, which is what most people think about). Lets see...what race typically has the lower income jobs. So there are a couple factors there, and it only took me a minute to think of them. Imagine what you could do with your mind if you actually used it to think for a minute, instead of just propagating racist agenda.
But I understand. You want to blame everything on racism, so you appear to be racist yourself. Why don't you just come out and say it: "McCain lost this election because those damn niggers are racist".
No, I don't think you understand. You must be too ignorant. I wasn't saying any portion was or was not racists. I was saying that IF you want too conclude that 30% over the non-white, non-black average is racists, then you should also conclude that 20% under that same average is also racist in the opposite direction. Then I went on to emphasize that there are other factors that can explain the difference than race, but that if you really want to try to peg it on something, there are some other silly things that explain it equally well.
I can't beleive I have to sit here and summarize this entire conversation for you? First you are too lazy (or stupid?) to read it, so you come in proposing something that was the entire basis of the start of the conversation, and now you are making claims that don't even fit with what's been said up to this point. Really, if you can't keep up with the adult conversation, do yourself a favor and go play in the sandbox.
My post made no sense? We were sitting here discussing how the vote statistics were affected by the blacks voting according to race, then I mention how that was offset by the whites also voting according to race. Then along you come and happily remind us to consider the effects of blacks voting according to race. Thanks, we hadn't thought of that.
Ummmm.....yeah.....welcome to the conversation. That was exactly how this all started, and is what we've been discussing this. Thanks for adding absolutely nothing new to the conversation. Let me know when you are ready to start paying attention.
In one of my other posts, I mentioned that those CNN stats show on page 6 that 2% of voters said race was their primary concern, and thus 2.2 million people voted for their candidate primary based on race. I'd say that's a ton.
Hillsbourough was only a slight lead for Obama, but Pinellas (which is part of the Tampa area) shows 9%.
If you look at that map, with only a few exceptions, when Obama won a county, he won it big time. And those counties are all where the biggest cities are. Obama won the counties of 8 or the 10 largest cities in Florida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Florida
Perfect correlation? No. But I think it's a strong enough example to reasonably prove my point that you come up will all kinds of silly theories if you look at the data different ways. I wasn't suggest to prove that city folk hate white...just that black didn't necessarily vote for him because he's black.
Oh, so when the black vote differs significantly it's racism, but when the white vote differs significantly, it's just political ideology? LOL. OK, whatever.
Was Race of Candidates an Important Factor to You? 9% said yes, and of those 9%, 46% voted for McCain.
Furthermore, 2% said race was the MOST important factor, and 41% of that 2% voted for McCain. That means, of the 112 million people that voted, nearly 1 million voted for McCain primarily because of race. 1.2 million voted for Obama for the same reason. I hardly see that as a significant difference among the overall vote.
OK, well why aren't you calling for the AC's citation about how racist blacks are? Are you just accepting his CNN statistics that black people voted more for Obama? Ok, then from the same page:
White 43% Obama African-American: 95% Obama Latino: 66% Obama Asian: 61% Obams Other Races: 65% Obama
I don't know about you, but I see an outlying statistic on both extremes.
And by the same token, don't the rich people make their wealth based on the infrastructure of our country? Don't they need the roads, rails, or airlines to transport their good that they sell to make themselves rich? Don't they use our communications infrastructure to make their business deals? Don't they use our patent system to file their patents, and then our court systems when their competitors violate said patents? Don't they use our law enforcement and military to ensure the security of their possessions from people (both domestic and international) who would be more than happy to take it (or destory it) if it were unprotected?
Newsflash: He didn't say obama didn't do that stuff. He said your marvelous republicans did the same too.
Why does it seem that every time someone tries to point out hypocrisy someone always has to jump in and say "Obama did the same...blah blah blah". THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT!!!!
We've seen this type of thing over and over again. Like the bridge too nowhere. McCain made this big case about how him and Palin proved they'll cut out the fat. Then someone point out "ummm...Palin....Bridge to Nowhere???" and everyone was "oh, but Obama voted for it too". Don't you get it? Obama wasn't the one running around talking himself up about how voted against all these pork barrel projects.
I am not without sin. I fully admit that. When someone else goes around talking about how sin-free they are, and I call them on their BS, telling me "but you are a sinner too" is NOT a valid defense.
Yeah, but you are also forgetting one thing? How much HIGHER would Obama's percentages be among white voters had he not been black, or supposedly muslim? Tons of white folks voted AGAINST him for no reason but skin color or perceived religion
Furthermore, you can't necessarily say it's racism. Maybe black people just really felt that Obama identified with their needs? You can find that type of pattern in many other things. For instance, look how much higher Obama's support was in major urban/suburban areas? In Florida, he barely took the vote, but in Miami, Tampa and Orlando he dominated, . North Carolina is essentially a tie, but in Raleigh, Winston-Salem, and Charlotte he dominated. Does that mean that city folk are reverse racists against white? Or that country folk are racist against blacks?
No, they didn't. Are you circumventing the copy protection when you enter the CD-Key that they give you? Of course not, so how are you circumventing it when the company itself tells you how to register its own product?
I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. They offered to replace it for you if you contact them and send them photo or fax of the bad key. That's a perfectly legit solution. However, that's going to take a bit of time while you wait for your support request to be processed.
If you could instead get the game up and running in 10 minutes by just brute forcing it, I personally consider that a much better work around. I bet most people would honestly prefer that.
So what do you want them to do? Be psychic and send you the code before you even know you need it? Yes, it would be best if there was no problem, but mistakes happen.
At the time they called Obama as the president, there was still a lot to be counted. Between the 11 PM call and when I went to bed at 12:30, the entire time all of Obama's important leads were shrinking. 10%...8%...6%...5%, some even down to 2%-3%. I was honestly worried about a premature call, and wondering what would happen if I woke up and things had flipped. McCain: "yeah....ummmm....about that concession..."

Thats not all. Apparently they've also taken a whole new angle on the shape of the state of Michigan

Oh, wow, you are right. Using 0177.0.0.1 in firefox gets you to localhost, as does 0x7f.0.0.1
Nice catch.

Wouldn't it be nicer if you did: /^([0-9a-fA-F]{2}:){5}[0-9a-fA-F]{2}$/
That won't do what you want in most regex flavors. What you want (at least in perl) is something more like: .+ Tricks

It's a refundable credit:

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot:
White Men = 41% Obama, 57% McCain
White Women = 46% Obama, 53% McCain
You might want to double-check the definition of majority. And I'm the one whose post doesn't make sense?

Refusing my own argument, huh?
OK, I have a better citation for you. I didn't notice those CNN stats had multiple pages. On page 6:
