They are also "meaning 3c", which also means race, but we'll let you ponder this alarming admission first.
> Meaning 3c is the one usually intended for "race" when referring to My, your fifth straw man argument. Nobody but you is arguing "whites" "blacks", "skin color", etc. We're talking about the definition of race which YOU posted. "Ethnos" is the Greek word for "race", according to Strong's. It doesn't specify which subsection of "race" it refers to, does it? So where do you get this idea that "Meaning 3c ... has NOTHING to do with 'ethnos'"? Out of thin air, actually, because this is precisely what it does mean. "Ethnos" is a broad term which means a number of things, as already mentioned above.

Do you feel strongly that he has "A sound idea", as well as feeling strongly that you "can't say that [you] support him"?
You just DID say that you support him by saying that he has a sound idea.
How can one mind become so confused?
Do you have any idea how?
It's called "jewish brainwashing". You can't even identify a "White Race" at the same time that you claim that it's "a sound idea" to abolish what you don't think exists, because the jews feed you, their good little Pavlov Doggie, an electronic biscuit whenever you repeat these intentionally conflicting, inflammatory, ridiculous, and confusing statements.

This little demonstration of women's intuition is exactly why 32% of American 12th grade girls' responses were not statistically significant, 23% were statistically significant because they scored lower than if they'd just guessed, and of the 45% that was statistically significant, the amount by which they scored lower than boys was statistically significant on 24.4%, by which they scored higher than boys was statistically significant on 2.6%, and the difference between boys and girls was not stastically significant on 18%. http://fathersmanifesto.net/timssphysics.htm Do you feel this strongly about adultery laws?

"This makes the
assumption that those who know nothing guess randomly. IN These two false, hypocritical statements summarize what it is about "liberals" educated in the US public "school" system that makes them so ignorant of the world they live in and the life's philosophy of our Founding Forefathers who made this a once-great country. The inability and unwillingness of "liberals" to grasp some of the most basic concepts can probably never be changed, no matter how much this nation spends for "education". They are in fact living proof that doubling the cost of education from 4% to 8% of GDP is most likely a major reason SAT scores plunged 98 points, the US scored dead last in 17 of 34 TIMSS subjects, and American 12th grade girls scored lower on one third of the multiple choice questions than if they'd just guessed. Is it even possible that there may be some truth to the statement: "Indeed, we know that they do not ... guess randomly when faced with a test question they do not understand"? No, there is not. When American girls failed to correctly answer so many multiple choice questions, and when the test results show that they did not omit the question and did provide at least some kind of a response, then we know that they guessed at many of the answers. Is it possible that their guesses were not random? The only evidence that they didn't guess randomly on many questions is the fact that they scored lower on one third of the TIMSS physics questions than if they had just guessed randomly. This means that there was some factor that influenced them to answer the questions wrong, so their answers cannot be considered to be random. Whether this is because they were taught the wrong thing in the classroom (even though the boys sitting right next to them were taught the right thing), or because they believed the myth about "women's intuition" and decided to rely on this rather than answer the question based on what they were taught, is irrelevant. The fact is that being so consistent in selecting the wrong answer on this third of the test is the only evidence we have that they didn't guess randomly. Of the 38 physics questions for which the answers were made available to the public, the amount by which girls scored higher than if they had just guessed was statistically significant on 17 of them, the amount by which they scored higher or lower than if they had just guessed was not statistically significant on 12 of them, and the amount by which they scored lower than if they had just guessed was statistically significant on 9 of them. Of the 17 questions or 45% of the test where the amount by which they scored higher than if they'd just guessed and their responses were statistically significant, they scored significantly lower than boys on 9 (24% of the test), significantly higher on 1 (2.6% of the test), and the difference between boys and girls was not statistically significant on 7 of them (18% of the test). Of the 12 questions or 32% of the test where their response was not statistically significant, they scored significantly lower than boys on 4 and the difference was not statistically significant on 8 of them. Of the 9 questions or 24% of the test where the amount by which they scored significantly lower than if they'd just guessed, they scored significantly lower than boys on 8 and significantly higher than boys on 1. On some questions there may have been a clue that caused them to select one answer over the other, so it could be argued that guesses on some other questions were also not random. But when their responses were not statistically significant on almost a third of the test, or 32% of the questions, we know that at least ONE question didn't provide any clues like this, which would mean that the only way they were able to provide a response was to guess randomly, which makes this statement false. It's highly likely that their responses to all 12 questions were based solely on random guesses, which means that we know that they DID "guess randomly", not that they did not. Because their responses were lower than if they'd just guessed or were not statistically significant on 21 questions, the results of this 55% of the test cannot be used to assess their skills.
The following Table summarizes the answers to the 38 TIMSS Physics questions for which the original problems are described. The first column is the Question Number, the second column describes whether the question was a multiple choice problem or not, the third column is the percent of girls who scored higher than if they'd just guessed on the multiple choice questions, the fourth column is whether or not this difference was statistically significant and by what percentage it exceeded the 3% standard error, the fifth column is by what percentage boys scored higher than girls (or with negative numbers, by what percentage girls scored higher than boys), and the sixth column is whether or not this difference was statistically significant and by what percentage it exceeded the 3% standard error. For example, Question G10 was a multiple choice question where 4.7% of the girls scored lower than if they'd just guessed. After subtracting the 3% standard error, it was statistically significant that 1.7% of them scored lower than if they'd just guessed. 4.5% more boys than girls got this question correct, and 1.5% of their responses were statistically significant. Question H01 was a multiple choice question where girls scored 17% higher than if they'd just guessed, 4.1% more girls than boys got this question correct, and the amount by which this difference was statistically significant was 1.1%. It was the only question which was statistically significant and where girls scored higher than if they'd just guessed where the amount by which girls scored higher than boys was statistically significant. This was a memorization question. On none of the questions which involved calculations did girls score higher than boys. All of the questions

Why is it that you get so upset when I >write down my opinion yet you applaud when imposters write down >their opinions? Upset? Why would I get upset over something like a Usenet debate? I disagree with your opinion, because I know many Jews, and I know of no particular reason why a Jew would pose as a Christian in order to act against Christianity. Now the JEWS as a people feel that "Jews for Jesus" are Christians posing as Jews in order to subvert Judaism (and Jewish families). But there is nothing in their religion compelling Jews to try to convert or subvert Christianity - they just would rather be left alone and not evangelized. I know of many people who believe that Christianity is something different from what you appear to believe it is. I don't believe that anyone but God is authorized to judge what is in our hearts, which is what determines whether we are saved through Christ. Therefore I must assume that a person who says they are a Christian IS a Christian though he may be a sinner like all of us in a particular sinful practice or statement that I do not myself accept as being Christian. Only explicit denial of Christ's divinity is sufficient for me to reject someone who says he is a Christian as not really being Christian (e.g. Thomas Jefferson), and even then I don't presume that God approves of my making that judgement. Meanwhile, I have no reason to presume that someone who is "antichrist" is necessarily Jewish (I know several atheists, none of whom is Jewish, who are far more antichrist and antiChristian than any Jew.) Finally, I have seen no "imposters" whose opinions I have applauded. The nincompoop is the only person I have reason to believe MIGHT be an imposter (because his arguments seem so out of touch with reality that they could be an elaborate put-on). No one else I've seen post in this thread or its near-relatives that I've participated, is falsely claiming to be a Christian, which is what you seem to mean by "imposter". Only a couple have even claimed to be Christian, including myself. Others reject Christianity (and make it clear that they do), or don't indicate one way or another what they personally believe. They are arguing on this thread because they find it fun to torment the nincompoop, who has earned that net-torment by his net-behavior. (If you think one must or should be a Christian to appear on a group that pertains to Christianity, then Usenet is NOT the medium for you because there are no such rules and many people who delight in flaunting their disdain for people who think that there ARE such rules.) >I think you liberals would take away free speech if >it were possible, and only allowing cursing, obscenities, and porno >movies. Since you by your wording damn me as a "liberal" in the above despite my denial of that political bent, I assert that YOU have "cursed" - you have called me a name that you clearly associate with antichrist, and thus called me in league with Satan. I can imagine no worse a curse than that. I oppose cursing, and for that matter obscenities, and porno movies (which I have never viewed much less favored). Furthermore, I have headed a project for 15 odd years that was started ONLY as a kind of "free speech" movement, and which has neither interest in outlawing any kind of speech at all, and has no opinion at all about porno movies. >>> 3) Jews always point to the Hebrew language as if it's icing on the >>>cake when making a point.

Wrong. Dead wrong. You could make that argument about one question, but when the pattern is repeated over and over again, then you can detect a pattern: American girls scored lower on many questions than if they'd just guessed because they didn't have a clue about what the answer was. Many of these questions had zero misses [read: 0% failed to provide an answer at all], which means you're nuts to even hint that "Indeed, we know that they do not" "guess randomly".
The ONLY time you could apply that argument is when a large percentage of them answered correctly, but even then, if 0% failed to respond at all, then some of them HAD to guess. > > But the assumption becomes totally meaningless if in fact they know > > SOMETHING.

What's your point, J Who exactly do you think made the point that getting 17% correct on a four part multiple guess problem is a lower score than if everyone just guessed
What part of that don't you understand (other than the typical and infinitely STUPID statement by lojbab that no students guessed)

Man, you're batting a thousand. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong.
Wrong and wrong.
Well, now, it's clear as a bell what it is about "liberals" that they're so incapable of thought, discussion, debate, logic, or even basic communication, and always feel compelled to resort to ad hominems and character assassination.
You're literally uneducable, lojbab. There's obviously nothing anyone can teach you about it at this moment in your life, and I doubt if there ever was a time when you were capable of learning it.
There may not be one other person on this feminized forum who does comprehend that you managed to 14 LIES or false statements into 4 short paragraphs, but that's exactly what you did.
This was classic. I *really* appreciate that belly laugh. Whoever could have guessed that your posts are some of the best comedy around!
