President Elect Trump

That's a different issue. Identifying statements or policy as racist is different than identifying an individuals level of prejudice based on their voting for trump and reasons for doing so. Trump has admitted to sexually assaulting women. Calling him misogynist as a result isn't a stretch.JC29856 said:
The turning grey to black is exactly what screaming racism misogynist sexism etc etc etc is!!!Go Beavers said:
You're trying to make something that's grey very black and white, so I'm not sure this will work very well. There's a large enough group of whites who feel that non-whites and basically outsiders are a threat to their way of life. There's a push back from them as minority groups have gained more equality. They're afraid of whites becoming a minority in the future. Difficulties in their life are seen as a result of people who are different taking things away from them, both socially and economically. Trump engaged this group with emotional manipulation with the policies I mentioned earlier, as well as others. He made an external enemy for voters, and these voters also perpetuated and believed total mistruths (Hillary wants open borders, our country is worse off in the last 8 years, etc).JC29856 said:Pulling the classic Russell...

By definition of average, isn't half of every country less than average intelligence?
Edit: but every country's average intelligence is not equivalent to each other."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
it matters not. New thread: mean vs. median!benjs said:
I apologize, I've misread Thirty's original statement. Firstly, I believe Thirty was referring to a global average - which it would be very possible for the majority (over 50%) to be below. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "median has a middle"... a median IS a middle, meaning equal number of people above and below it, meaning 50% of the population is less than that IQ. Next, I wasn't intending to be pedantic whatsoever - by referencing a definition, wouldn't you be guilty of that? Finally, why does any of this matter?mace1229 said:
okay, not sure what your point is. My point was it is impossible (okay, I'll say very unlikely or, even better, a significant population that is greater than 50%) for any country to have more than half the population with higher than average intelligence if you're using the country's average.benjs said:

And unless I misread the comment, it seemed to be stated as a negative that half the country is either average or less than average intelligence. And statistically speaking it will be half on both sides, so instead of saying "by definition" I should have said "statistically speaking." And if you want to get nitpicky, since median has a middle, there would not be half on either side of median either. Albeit the larger the population the closer to 50% each half gets, but its not 50%. Just seems like you want to get picky so I'll point that out.
But if median is the middle, that means 50% - 1 is below, and 50% - 1 is above, and never 50% on either side. That's what I meant.0 -
President-elect Trump is very succinct w/ his latest tweets.
All valid points w/ no verbal diarrhea
No need for a biased press conference.
Just watched @NBCNightlyNews - So biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point. Just can't get much worse, although @CNN is right up there!
Can you imagine if the election results were the opposite and WE tried to play the Russia/CIA card. It would be called conspiracy theory!
Unless you catch "hackers" in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn't this brought up before election?
The F-35 program and cost is out of control. Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th.0 -
In a shocking and unexpected development, President-elect Donald Trump has rescheduled his planned Thursday press conference to an undetermined date in January.

Kellyanne Conway: "We in the Trump presidency do not want foreign governments interfering in our elections. That's very clear. We don't want intelligence interfering in our politics. But we also certainly do not want what we have now, which is politics interfering in our intelligence."

And the Trump campaign's complete and total rejection of the possibility that this might have happened isn't politics interfering in our intelligence?JC29856 said:Kellyanne Conway: "We in the Trump presidency do not want foreign governments interfering in our elections.

You'll get no argument from that Hillary Clinton didn't run a misguided and cynical campaign, but that is a deflection. Trump himself claimed the election was rigged numerous times. Now that it has worked out in his favor he summarily rejects the possibility. Again...how is that not politics interfering in our intelligence?JC29856 said:
