How would you respond to, "It takes one to know one" statement?
(A friend of mine posted a random google picture of a person with "Six-Pack Beer" tattooed on It's belly. My friend thought the tattoo was awesome and was thinking of getting the same thing tattooed on his belly, because he thought It would be funny to say, I have a "Six-pack beer" on my belly so I don't have to workout to get a six-pack.) ________________________________ QUESTION: I said to him in the comment, "Only retards get stupid tattoos". He said, "You're a dumbass" I said, "You're a jackass :P" He responded, "IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE" I don't know how to respond to that?! lol.
Will Asian parents never understand the meaning of "privacy"?
Hi, I am not Asian and I know exactly how you feel. I am sixteen years old and I have no privacy at all! I have an older sister who is your age and she raids through all of my things. She reads my diaries, and if she doesn't like what I wrote in them she'll happily throw them away. My Mom does not give me any privacy, she just bursts in my room and starts demanding me to do things! Example: "Take out the trash now! You need to stop being lazy, get off you're lazy **** and walk the trash down!!!" She doesn't care about respect and privacy, she's the master and I am the slave, what she does I'd better do it or else she will threaten to hit me. So, if your parents do not threaten you with physical violence you've most likely got it better than I do, (I'm not Asian). Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying your situation is not bad, you should have privacy I know what you're going through! I'm just saying it's not the Asian's who only go through this, we (i.e, african americans, caucasians) go through it as well.
Should we cure racism by making interracial marriage mandatory?
No way. Dating people within your own race is not racist, but a genetic trait(s) which makes you attracted to people with specific characteristics. What a ridiculous idea to force people to marry someone they may not be attracted to and also give mothers a baby that isn't theirs!
Statistics -- what does "p=.05" mean in statistical results?
Thanks to all, especially Ralph S. I understand the concept now. These results are from a press release regarding the clinical trial of a new drug, not a scientific report. I wonder why these results refer to merely a "statistically significant reduction" (at a certain confidence level), but say nothing about the magnitude of this reduction. The reduction could be minimal and still be statistically significant. Why would the results not make a stronger claim, such as "reduced by x% (p=.05)", rather than merely "statistically significant reduction"? I'm guessing that the reasons may be more marketing or PR-related than statistical. Maybe this is the best they could report at this time, and they wanted to spin it as best they could. "Statistically significant reduction" sounds great in a press release, even though it doesn't mean much without any indication of the magnitude of this reduction.
