No one uses a round number like 200 years if their goal is to be precise or accurate

Right, but people use ballpark numbers when it's not necessary to come up with a precise number.

Eg, how old is Israel? If someone said 70, or especially 75 or 80, that would be a very reasonable answer. But if they said 200, they clearly had no clue, they were just guessing.

Eg, how many players dress for every NFL team on gameday? If someone said "40 or 50", I'd say "I don't even know myself, but that's what I would have guessed, maybe they've watched some football." If someone said 15 or 200, I'd know that they don't have a clue about football.

Owl's guess was wildly off the mark. The correct answer was like 3 generations ago, 60 years, and she said 200 years ago, which is like ten generations. Millions of people are still alive from when that happened, and she's talking about a time when our grandfathers' grandfathers' grandfathers' were already dead.

People were landing on the moon during the time that the great switch allegedly occurred. She was talking about the age when the lightbulb was invented - early 1800s.

The fact is that she was talking about it like she was some kind of expert, and she obviously had no fking clue whatsoever.
Why do you guys care so much about how Owly's stupidity was exposed? You and Creppy have your own fish to fry.

You can teach, but little Mattie is incapable of learning. Too much vodka under the bridge, so to speak.

It is an age where the most stupid is the most sure. It is a bad time.

You just made a controversial statement, and did not even realize it. If you believe the Old Testament Israel is over 3,000 years old.

 

[Walt]

Name something that government does better and cheaper than the private sector.

Creating a road network.

 

[Walt]

Only because we don't have a private military to compare that to. Not a valid example.

There are PMC's, but they do such terrible jobs, and are so overpriced, it is hard to compare them to a real military... Which is the point in the first place.

 

[Walt]

He is clearly talking about the US military and private military. Where is there a private military in the US? There is nothing to compare it to. Though my bet would be on the US military 100%.

Blackwater has a modern descendant still around. Your point that private militaries do such a terrible job that it is hard to even compare them to real militaries just proves our point, right?

Many private armies that have overwhelmed government armies in 3rd world countries answers that question.

I can't think of the last time that happened. During the early 1960's there were some attempts in Africa, but they all ended badly.

Nope. The private sector builds roads. The government might order them, but the private sector builds them.

Sometimes the government subcontracts the actual building to the private sector, many times it does the job itself. Either way, the control over the roads is always in the government, because the private sector really cannot make a full network of roads.

Private security, fire, etc., often outperform the government both in efficiency and cost.

I have literally never seen that happen, but OK.

Walt, you prove why no one takes a modern day democrat seriously. Talk out your ass, zero to back it up.

How much more can you show you are an uneducated dumbfuck liberal dunce?????????? Keep posting and prove it.

You do not take seriously the need for some government? Most people think that we need at least some government. So rather than saying "no one" takes it seriously, more accurate would be to say "almost no one" takes your ideas seriously.

Right because no one just says 'he is a hundred years old' or 'thousand years old' or a 'million years old' as just a ballpark way to say they are very old and if they say those things they really must think they are that old.

Obviously a welfare collecting democrat with zero clue about the real world posting this drivel. Good old Walt. White, welfare collecting l extraordinaire.

Anyone that actually pays taxes knows what I mean. Of course you and the other welfare collecting Guno,would have no clue.

The vast majority of people both pay taxes, and see a use for the government.

Working people pay taxes to support public assistance collecting , useless inbreds like you.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

All of this should be known instinctively without any explanation whatsoever.

Private business is motivated by profit.

Profit creates greed for more profit.

Any time you make profit the primary goal, everything else becomes secondary.

Or lower.

Agreed. Greed is a sin and putting profit over God is evil.

Matthew 6:24

 

[Dutch Uncle]

All MAGAts are angry little men. They're so weak and stupid they have to spread their fears and hatred onto others.

The best thing they could do for their families is to either fix their problems or remove themselves from the equation.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Creating a road network.

Nonsense. Roads are built by private contractors. Other than the interstate system most aren't even initially paid for by government. You are wrong about thinking "If they build it, they will come." That's not how useful roads work.

 

[WCM]

You just made a controversial statement, and did not even realize it. If you believe the Old Testament Israel is over 3,000 years old.

It's not controversial.

The current iteration of Israel dates back to 1948.... It would be dishonest for me to pretend that Israel has been a sovereign nation for 3,000 years, just like it's dishonest to pretend that Palestine was country ever since the Romans gave the region that name.

You're talking about a joke, but Owly wasn't joking: she was pretending to be knowledgeable, and she was also being rude and insulting.

She thought that she was giving a real answer and now that everyone knows how dumb it was you guys are covering for her.

Why do you care so much about her stupid answer? Is there something I should know? Is she dying of cancer or something? Because if she's not, then she should just try to learn from this, and in the future, stick to slander and stupid memes like Crepitus, instead of trying to use "facts" from CNN
