Please, go right ahead.

By brother's college professor made an interesting statement once.

"Figures don't lie, but liars do figure."

I think that could apply to this a bit.

haha, nice Mega.

Actually, I made this thread for the Day of Silence thread people.
But you are more than welcome to say statistics are stupid too :sweatdrop

Well statisitics aren't in themselves stupid. I mean quantum theory is based upon probability functions.
The applications of statistics are where problems arise.

I don't really get why the homosexual/bisexual/whatever stats are stupid. I mean, are the statistics totally out of wack? Or is it just a stupid thing to get statistics on in the first place?

Because you know I kinda disagree with both those options.

Can we get some statistics from organizations that aren't pushing GLBT rights to confirm these? That would be ideal, and won't happen.

Why would an organization not involved with GLBT rights have statistics on GLBT rights?

Also you guys have got to stop making threads like this I'm pretty sure google thinks I'm gay now.

Mods, can I pretty please please make a "DFM is Gay" thread?

This shit is ridiculous.

Witness the triumph of the advertising system.
