    I didn't. That's based on actual polls of voting Americans. You hear unexpected numbers and you assume I didn't look up actual polling data. Polls aren't the source of truth you think they are.

    Indians made great advancements in arithmetic. But to claim that's the basis of mathematics is missing a whole lot. Greek geometry and abstract thinking and a focus on mathematical proof was just as important. In addition, the so-called Indian contribution to math is often conflated with Mesopotamian contribution to math, just as the Islamic contribution used to be greatly conflated with Indian because the West received Indian math through Muslims.

    Most republicans polled think women should get the death penalty for having an abortion. Over 80% believe the world is younger than 6000 years old. When people are asked doctrinal questions, they give doctrinal answers. All that demonstrates is that you don't understand polls.

    But as a medical doctor, he's well versed in things like scientific journals, research, and statistics while also having the prerequisite technical biology knowledge required to assess scientific literature. And it's clear he consulted scientific literature.

    To say he is an author and not a biologist is disingenuous because compared to most authors, he's closer to biologist than he is author when it comes to biology.

    Don't think there was Medieval football, and I'm positive if there were, it would not have had an affect on the ethnic makeup of Medieval European banking.

    Medieval Europeans were largely Catholic, and so could not engage in usury. Jews - who could engage in usury with gentiles - were able to set up Western style banking due to this loophole.

    European Christians apparently weren't smart enough to come up Islamic-style banking (today ofter referred to as Sharia banking). In Islamic banking, they work around the proscription against usury by charging fixed fees.

    His focus on chasing government subsidies is why he is rich.

  11. Except he hasn't caught up to where every other auto manufacturing is, much less an industry leader like Toyota.

  12. There are mistakes and then there are mistakes that shouldn't have happened. Tesla's visionary approach does not preclude them from hiring people who know what they are doing. It's not-invented-here syndrome.

    Employers need to stop bending over and letting the mob fuck them in the ass. The Internet isn't n real place. Opinions on the Internet have no value. 4chan should not have the power to affect the real world. People who act as the physical arm of 4chan should not put in C-level positions or in charge of corporate communications.

    Stop being such fucking snowflakes, grow some balls, and figure out how perspective works.

    Sure, like Buddhists in Myanmar, Jews in the West Bank, and Christian terrorists in the U.S., religion can lead to bad outcomes. The thing is, it's universal, so why would you blame religion unless you are an ignorant piece of shit?

    Yes, non-compete agreements are definitely the reason fast food workers receive low wages. Without non-competes, we would see an elite class of fast food worker who can market their skills to the highest bidder.
