There are three types of lies:
- lies
- damn lies
- statistics

Statistics in the hands of a fool are like a toddler driving a car on the freeway

@JoeyFoxx That's not true, you need to be competent to manipulate statistics to say what you want.

@GeniUs You don't need to be competent to believe the manipulation!
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
@GeniUs one needs to be competent to manipulate statistics

But any fool can mischaracterize and draw invalid conclusions from statistics
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx but you can say that about anything; a sentence, a video clip, a book, a song. your statement is not unique to statistics.
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
@GeniUs yes…. but this post is about a statistic that is being misused and misrepresented

I’m just having fun with it

Why are you trying to rain on my parade?
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx because it deserves raining on. When somebody or a group of people get together to belittle others for their choices they deserved to be called out for false information.
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
@GeniUs ok. Here we go.

To what false information are you referring?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@GeniUs Lots of people make stupid-ass choices and deserve to be mocked for them.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul Who decides what a stupid-ass choice is? Somebody who thinks they shouldn't have taken that choice? Or the person who made that choice? I think you'll find a diametrically opposed answers here so I'm glad we sorted that out.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx Your initial comment which stated that statistics are lies. Statistics are not lies, statistics are neutral in any given scenario.

@GeniUs @GeniUs LOL, and just who tabulates those impeccable statistics?
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
@GeniUs

This is a reference to an old sarcastic statement.

You are choosing to take this down a literal path that was clearly not the intent of the post.
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx I'm sorry you got hit with collateral damage in a thread that was started to belittle those who haven't been vaccinated. I'm quite surprised that Burnley started this thread given that he usually errs on the side of moderation however it all goes to show that we may agree some days but not others.

@JoeyFoxx I think this video explains our position better than I could, we may not be on the same page today but tomorrow we may be...
