NationStates Jolt Archive

Sadly, the attempt to use darts thrown by drunken people resulted in no darts hitting the target. So, instead, two street bums were grabbed and forced to place ping-pong. After six grueling hours and two beating threats, a decision was finally reached.

Using a completely unscientific method, CROPUNNS predicts the NS HIV AIDS Act to pass by 82% to 18%. Due to the method used, this has an error range of 10%.

You did better than our predictors did. Our method of having blindfolded monkeys throw darts over their shoulder was cut short after one researcher was hit in the eye by a dart and needed medical attention.

Shouldn't that mean your prediction should be that nobody votes?

It would have been, except people had already voted.

Didn't you know, most people just click "yes" when voting anyway... so, in all likelihood, it's just like nobody is really voting...

that's pretty weird, why would you want to participate in nationstates if you just click yes on all proposals??

Admitting that they don't would be to loose all faith in humanity.

That is a very good point.

To go off on a tagent, last night I was spending a bit of time with a friend from England. We got to talking about American politics and he was pretty critical of the Democrats and their failure to "stand up" to the Republicans. While he had some valid points, I still think he completely fails to understand the American electorate and the difficult position any left of center or centralist party has in the United States.

We should not get in the habit of dismissing entire groups of people whom have different opinions than us.

"They don't vote the way I do, therefore they aren't thinking." :(


n.p. this morn' omina :: the drake equation [ecf]

< OOC: It's actually going to pass 88% to 12%, but thanks for playing anyways. >

OOC: I chose the figures at random. Accuracy isn't something CROPUNNS is big on.

CRUSHINGLY passing, at 86.1% pro, 13.9% against.

Well within the error ranges of both PUNNS and CROPUNNS.
