Some people are really just plain stupid
I am Woodcraft yesterday and I am looking at the Saw Stop saws. No money to
buy one, but just thinking when I upgrade maybe I will go that route. On the saw there is a video playing that is demonstrating the how the saw works. Some other customer stands next to me and says: "What they don't tell you is that after the saw does its thing in an emergency you need to buy new parts from them to make the saw work again." I say: "But you still have your fingers" He then says: "But your saw won't work again until you buy the parts - from them!" I almost replied again with "You still have your fingers" but I figured it was pointless. Apparently this guy has figured out that the corporate plan is to save your fingers but stick it to you in the wallet afterwards. Larry C |

Frankin paid his taxes just to the wrong state, Actually, that is not really true: http://wcco.com/realitycheck/al.franken.taxes.2.712757.html http://newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/al-franken-taxes/2009/02/06/id/340085 It is really unknown whether he paid the proper amount in his own state because he hasn't released his tax returns. That also doesn't explain the fact that, even when working in New York, and claiming to live there, he failed to pay a $25,000 fine for failing to carry workers' compensation for his employees. Now, one would think that a champion of the little guy and the middle class would have been scrupulously careful to make sure he was abiding by workers' compensation requirements, wouldn't you? Bachmann tell the poor to pull up there bootstraps then collects welfare for her farm to almost 800,000, Um, if you are referring to legally eligible farm subsidies, there is a vast difference between something legally granted and failing to pay legally required taxes or carry legally required workers comp insurance. it's a republican Hippocratic oath thing.Forget the coolaid chew the teabag Not nearly so much as the leftwing that whines and moans about the "rich" not paying their fair share when a) they themselves are wealthy, and b) there is nothing preventing them from paying more than they owe. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

Believe it or not, most of the people she deals with are above the average IQ. Here's why. 1. Almost all women have average IQs (90-110), yielding an average of 100. Theirs is not a bell curve so much as a horizontal line. 2. Men are pretty evenly distributed between 50 and 150, again yielding an average of 100. Men's intelligence curve is also pretty much a straight line but instead of horizontal, it's diagonal. Now very many of men below, say, 80 are locked up somewhere, so the one's she runs into are in the range of 80-150, or an average of 120 or so, significantly above average. An interesting consequence of the above is that your average man (on the street) is smarter than your average woman. |

Most IQ tests indeed rank results in a Gaussian Bell Curve with a standard deviation, depending on the test. As with the maxim that "statistics lie and liars use statistics ..." you can certainly massage the rankings, by grouping the results by ethnicity, nationality, and other creative ways, ad infinitum to prove a point/agendize. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

"Studies consistently show greater variance in the performance of men compared to that of women (i.e., men are more represented at the extremes of performance), and that men and women have statistically significant differences in average scores on tests of particular abilities" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_intelligence So there's a greater variance among men. Men on the big-dummy side of the curve are locked-up, driven out of town, live under a bridge, or get killed early. The women just putter along. For women, it IS a bell curve, it's just pretty flat like a very intelligent woman's boobs. I recall reading a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Irreproducible Results years ago that showed a female's IQ could be approximated as a function of breast and waist measurements. As I recall the formula looked something like: IQ = 75 / SQRT [Breast - Waist] Lab PhD (32/29) = 75 / SQRT (3) = 130 Lab Receptionist (36/22) = 75 / SQRT (14) = 75/3.75 = 20 Pregnant tecnician (34/58) = Imaginary number The authors concluded more work was needed on the equation. |

I have personally never been at risk of having my wiener injured by
the table saw but I think I would be willing to a pay a little more for the saw if it would help avoid that. I guess maybe I should be careful, the darng thing is so long it could get all tangled up and at risk of injury during a ripping op if I wasn't careful.

Some people are really just plain stupid
"Larry C" wrote in message ... I am Woodcraft yesterday and I am looking at the Saw Stop saws. No money to buy one, but just thinking when I upgrade maybe I will go that route. On the saw there is a video playing that is demonstrating the how the saw works. Some other customer stands next to me and says: "What they don't tell you is that after the saw does its thing in an emergency you need to buy new parts from them to make the saw work again." I say: "But you still have your fingers" He then says: "But your saw won't work again until you buy the parts - from them!" I almost replied again with "You still have your fingers" but I figured it was pointless. Apparently this guy has figured out that the corporate plan is to save your fingers but stick it to you in the wallet afterwards. Larry C Too bad you did not think to ask him about Global Warming. LOL |

LOL I love how the anti climate change conspiracists always come out in winter ....it's not that hot right now! Talking 1.5 to 3.5 degrees more at the poles than at the equator. The ice flows are disappearing . But then again maybe that puddle at the end of your driveway didn't have ice on it like it did the same time last year. Do your own research ..lol |

It may open up a year-round Northwest Passage. This, in turn, will dramatically cut shipping costs between the Orient and Europe, facilitating trade, creating jobs, increasing wealth, prosperity, and happiness for everybody concerned. |

scrawled the following: "Leon" wrote in message m... "Larry C" wrote in message ... I am Woodcraft yesterday and I am looking at the Saw Stop saws.

LOL I love how the anti climate change conspiracists Huh? ACCC? Oh, you mean _skeptics_, those of us who don't fall for the overinflated charts and Chicken Little stories of the alarmists? And why does a finger saver relate to Warming? OK, with fewer fingeers, we couldn't give you alarmists 'the finger' as often. Was that it? always come out in winter...it's not that hot right now! And the AGWK alarmists always present in August, the hottest month. Talking 1.5 to 3.5 degrees more at the poles than at the equator. The ice flows are disappearing . But then again maybe that puddle at the end of your driveway didn't have ice on it like it did the same time last year. Do your own research ..lol Can you read? Try some of these: _Hard Green_ by Peter Huber _The Skeptical Envioronmentalist_ by Bjorn Lomborg _Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming_ by Bjorn Lomborg (His newest book) _Shattered Consensus: The True State of Global Warming_ by Patrick J. Michaels _Unstoppable Global Warming, Every 1,500 Years_ by S. Fred Singer and Dennis Avery _Terrestrial Energy_ by William tucker _The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism_ by Christopher Horner _The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud**And those who are too fearful to do so_ by Lawrence Solomon _Earth Report 2000_ editor Roy Spencer, famous scientific authors _State of Fear_ (bibliography, 23 or so pages of enviro books) by Michael Crichton and then get back to us, 'K? If you're still an AGWK whacko after reading a few of those books, I'll eat my hat. -- We rightly care about the environment. But our neurotic obsession with carbon betrays an inability to distinguish between pollution and the stuff of life itself. --Bret Stephens, WSJ 1/5/10 |
