Actually isn't it like 51% likely that it'll come up heads? I'm too lazy to Google.

He's correct in what he said, it's called gambler's fallacy. That said, it doesn't equate at all towards the argument at hand.

No, he was speaking of probability as a whole. The entire discipline. He was dismissing, among other things, the bell curve on the basis of individual coin flips.

We're more of the love, blood and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.

I know that type of person and they are more likely to spend on scratch off lottery tickets than make a Gambler's Fallacy reference. The kind of person who uses a simple math riddle they don't get as proof that "numbers lie". Stupidity > malice.

WPCR is an ACTOR! He's the opposite of people!

I'm not sure that really counts as POP culture, you guys.

But does anyone really want to spend 800 years on a planet where garbage like this pulls in millions upon millions of viewers?

Here's the big question - did he say that because he believed it, or because he knew that's all he needed to say for his viewers to believe it.

Because really, I'm guessing his actual honest answer would be "well, that's because their system lets poor people live longer, and we don't care about them".

Judging by the only Vatican City citizens I have seen? Yes.

What did he mean to say, Mark?

I'm guessing he was trying to mention population density -- not total numbers. I don't know whether or not Canada has fewer people by percentage in urban areas, nor do I care enough to check.

Ted Hitler agrees:

It should be "flub-ups."

Smellvin: Canada has a lower population density, but our population distribution puts the vast majority of our population in urban areas near the boder. Stats I saw place distribute population as 80% urban, 20% rural, which is a hair above the US's 79 and change percent.

I know I shouldn't feed this troll, but it's not a "little mistake" or a "flub-up", O'Reilly is spreading his agenda through a very obvious and outright lie.

If Obama had made that middle-school math failure on TV, you'd have a field day!

You're my density.

He's not trying to lie to spread his agenda. He just fudged up. He's a broadcaster who does live TV, It happens. If anything the health systems aren't the main factors giving Canadiots and Americans different life spans. If anything I'd say its diet that shortens America's life spans more than anything.

The important thing was that he was defending our current healthcare system. As long as you agree with that the rest (including arguments for and against other systems) is just nitpicking. ELITIST nitpicking.

So Canada has a healthier diet? Do you have any idea what Poutine is?

Cena is right. In fact he, himself, is living proof of what he says.


(FATASS!)

DING, DING, DING. we have a winner!

Exactly. Ever really listen to a televangelist in full swing? He doesn't believe half the shit that comes out his mouth, but he knows his viewers do.
