Oh Dear ...

[wolf63]

Even I knew this fact. The world today is a strange place, populated by many strange people.

Wolfie....yes, and not all of them are American !

The States has some of the most highly educated nunbskulls that the world has ever seen. That is not saying that all Yanks are wassocks, but its easy to see where Trump and his followers came from.

I have just finished re-reading " Almost Heaven" by a British journalist, called Martin Fletcher. It concerns some travels he made a few years ago, in the Deep South, and the level of education and ignorance was breathtaking....I would urge you get a copy, if you can :::

Mikey, //That is not saying that all Yanks are wassocks, but its easy to see where Trump and his followers came from. //

That's around 50% of the citizens of the USA you've just insulted.

[emmie]

interesting that fact, i didn't know you could swear on anything until i watched the West Wing, Aaron Sorkins masterpiece of tv.

I'd already seen that episode Wolfe, very emmm funny, frightening, bizarre, typical,, . feel free to insert your own word !!!!!l

[mikey4444]

Naomi...it was obvious, right from the start, that Trump was supremely unqualified for the job as POTUS.

By the way, you need to look at the facts.

Trump was voted in by 62,984,825 citizens, which isn't even half the total of people that voted, let alone 50% of the population of America.

Only 58% of the possible voters voted, so 50% of that is only 29%.

In other words, less than a third of people actually voted Trump.

[naomi24]

Mikey, juggle figures all you like, He won.

[New Judge]

In other words, the usual exclamation when a vote dos not go as desired:

He was elected by four-fifths of five eights of *** all!

[mikey4444]

Yeah, but not with 50% of the vote, as you implied Naomi !

[ToraToraTora]

similar figures to Saint Tony in 1997 mikey: 43.2% of a 71.3 turnout = 30%

[mikey4444]

By the way, does anybody know if Moore has accepted his defeat yet ?

Last time I heard, he was on YouTube, having a hissy fit.

[naomi24]

Mikey, //Yeah, but not with 50% of the vote, as you implied Naomi ! //

I didn't imply it - I said it..... but who's counting? Oh, yes, you are... and unfortunately for you so are a few others around here. ;o)

[mikey4444]

But you were wrong Naomi, and that doesn't happen very often, does it ?

[naomi24]

Not really, Mikey, but that's because I tend to check important facts before I post. The unimportant I don't usually bother with so I am occasionally wrong - and when I am I've no objection to admitting it, as you can see.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Naomi !

[Mamyalynne]

That was the perfect speechless - open mouthed bewilderment.

[mikey4444]

Mamy...I agree....most enjoyable !

[wolf63]

Most people would prepare themselves for an interview - this guy stumbled on a basic issue. Even using logic alone, there is no way that using a 'Christian Bible' only is a sensible answer.

I'm off to Oxfam for a snooze in the office. ☺

[mikey4444]

Wolie....The difficulty with people like this Moore spokesman, is that he professes to be a Christian, and therefore, he has only the most basic grasp of what could be defined as logical.

[youngmafbog]

Judging by many of your posts I am not sure you are really the right person to be criticising other peoples logical ability.
