  1. READ THE ***duck duck goose** REPORT! God, this maddening. How are people so deliberately ignorant?
  2. One of those who thinks Jewish people "own everything," eh? No wonder why you resist learning.
  3. They take documented cases, show us who did it, who the victims were, and what happened and simply report it in numbers. Little room for "bias" there.
  4. Don't you ever tire of people who don't even read things, yet they can tell you all about what the report or article is saying? It's maddening and tedious to me.
  5. Read their research. Again, this is tedious. People can't keep commenting on "what they are doing wrong" without actually looking at their reports. They simply take documented cases of extremism and compile them into data and pie charts indicating what it is, who the victims are, and who is doing it. There's nothing vague in their reports.
  6. Baloney. I've been using their data, as do most in this area of study, for decades. Dig deeper and you'll see that they include all races, religions, ethnic groups, etc. who are involved in extremism. Good science doesn't give a dern about who's doing it.
  7. For most of us, this is our go-to site. Read all about it! https://www.adl.org/research-centers/center-on-extremism
  8. No, I don't do the defining, as I only do secondary research these days.
  9. Not exactly so, as the passed legislation showed us. However, either way, not going to happen anyway Meanwhile, loan forgiveness for millionaires, billionaires, and others goes merrily along...
  10. There was and is a basis for these investigations. https://www.usnews.com/news/education-news/articles/2021-10-04/doj-to-investigate-threats-against-school-board-members
  11. I don't define it; I only do secondary research these days and use the definition provided to me by the researchers. In short, and for the purposes of the data that you see (or don't see?) presented to you, they are primarily defined by their actions, as they have to be. I'm always curious as to why individuals are so reluctant to admit that we have social and political extremism in the U.S. Why is that uncomfortable? I'm over and out on this. It's a classic example of Twain's famous quote-to which I try to live by-and I get paid to do this stuff. I'm not going to waste my time on it on such a rudimentary (if even that) level.
  12. Yes, and the data that is used to draw these conclusions takes ALL categories into account. Extremism today is overwhelmingly coming from whites and white power groups. As Ronald Reagan once said, "facts are stupid things," like them or lump them. I stand behind what I share with others.
  13. No, the data that we use is more sophisticated than just using one instance and therefore drawing a conclusion. That would be idiotic and the fastest way to lose one's job, when he/she shares such "data."
  14. Without seeing the data, yes, of course you're right and everyone else is wrong. I can just tell you after 28 years that if it was manipulated or at all inaccurate, I'll be the first one to (1) cry foul and (2) not use it when I present it to classes.
  15. Like it or lump it, the data perfectly backs up what she is saying, the context in which she's speaking. No other groups even compare statistically.
  16. Is it because of our impatience that we are so bothered by results in some states that may take longer? Not making any accusations, but I am curious as to why this is seen as problematic by some.
  17. And, as I'm sure that you know, this will continue to be a fluid situation, as Americans continue to migrate in and out of states.
  18. This is his campaign headquarters! just down the street from my home.
  19. Really!? I didn't know that solar panels had a "shelf life." Given their cost, one would have to do some serious math to see if it really pays off in the end.
  20. Bradley's are electric, but they also burn real wood. They're self-feeding buisquettes that are made of compressed wood.
  21. That's a very fair point. Given your point, it makes it all the more bizarre to me that many are now calling for a return to paper ballots.
  22. That wasn't even remotely the issue that I was referring to. Vinnie Bugliosi stated it so eloquently in this most important book.
  23. Too bad that "philosophy" didn't guide them in 2000.
  24. You tell me; I'm not an attorney, and nor do I try to play one in the classroom or on the internet. I do know this though: not a court in the land substantiated any of this nonsense that STILL hasn't died with the 30 percenters.
