Game.

f*** the Twins for not acknowledging the accomplishment.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) Has Hawk realized it yet? Both broadcast teams were tlaking about it from the 1st.

Cy Buerhle.

nice switch there by AJ.

Getting a little anxious...

I absolutely hate Gomez.

That crowd is really quiet tonight.

Buehrle's on his game tonight.

Cyclists in Woodridge dont'. Nice bike path all the way down Woodward. They're always on the street. I'm talking about the "weekend road racer" type of rider, the kind with the full uniform and everything. Not a family out for a ride.

Why don't cyclists use the really nice, brand-new bike paths along busy roads?

That does change the discrepancy. I wonder if there's a transcript of that.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) Yes, because of my anecdotal first hand experience with the VA, I think it sucks. I don't need a poll to know what I saw, to know how things were handled. That is what we call a "hasty generalization," which is a logical fallacy. You're taking a very small subset that can come under a lot of confirmation bias and generalizing it to a nationwide system with millions of people. That's why arguments via anecdotes don't work.

...because of anecdotes.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:19 PM) So you need a poll that must not have questioned all of the veterans throughout the US that say how sucktastic the VA system is in order to be taken as fact? I need statistical data, not anecdotes. Anecdote != data or evidence.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) I did support my assertion that the VA sucks...and it was dismissed. I can see you didn't even read it. My point prooven. Polls=unreliable, easily manipulated, victims of bias Anecdotes=airtight proof of a prior conclusions

Assertions without supporting data don't mean much. edit: and anecdotes aren't supporting data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evi...nd_faulty_logic
