Our medical and educational systems are actually pretty good :P On the whole, we're literate, and if we get sick we can get treatment. If you get fucked over by someone, though, you're looking at several years and thousands of dollars to get compensated by the legal system, and even then you only get about 2/3rds to 3/4s of your legal costs back if you win. People with cash use the legal system to extort and force those who can't afford a trial to settle or discontinue. It's appalling.

As far as I'm aware without reading every single one of the last 100 posts of crap, this started over MVP voting. You think keeping someone to 0-8 is better then keeping someone to 1-17 in a game of basketball, bring in mathematics and game engine algorithms as much as you want to a lost argument but at the end of the day the player who kept his opponent 1-17 has had a much greater impact on the game of basketball so therefor the 9827378623876872489 people who disagree with you are right.

So as my local boche champion and appeals educator, i declare Naker wrong and the rest of civilization right

If you take my example of the numbers 1 and 2. How many numbers are there between these 2 numbers?


but how many integers are there? you don't know how small are the units the bbs use, for all you know 1 second is the smallest unit


Unless you have evidence to suggest that there is a "smallest unit", then the base assumption is that there isn't one.

My girlfriend major in Mathematics and Chemistry, both are useless degrees.

lol clearly we have different definition of useless :P

Okay to bring the talk back to basketball, if you think that 1-17 is better than 0-8 then consider the following:
Team A is playing Team B.
Team A and Team B have only lined up 5 players each.
Each player on Team A keeps his opponent to 0-8.
Each player on Team B keeps his opponent to 1-17.
At the end Team A is 5-85.
At the end Team B is 0-40.
Final score is Team A - 10 and Team B - 0.

So as you can see, 0-8 is more valuable than 1-17.

No, Naker, it's because a lot of them are very bad people. They might not start out that way but a lot of them end up that way. It's rewarded by our legal system and by the way in which lawyers bill.

Our legal system is totally broken. It doesn't reward those who act justly, it rewards the rich and the lawyers.


I agree, but that's just the way our society is. Do you have a potential solution to this issue?

You won't win shit in court with those kind of arguments.

they are good...if you are rich

medicine

pop your knee with private insurance and it will be fixed up in a couple of weeks and you can be playing again in 3 months

pop your knee with nothing - like a guy i know - any you wait two years and then get an ok job done so can play 6 months after that

not exactly the same

education

how can it be that every single year kids at private schools get much better grades than those at government schools? pure chance? or could it be that there are stacks of factors that screw the public kids before they even get to high school?

do you want to go to school and swim in the swimming pool, play in the computer lab or hang out in the music wing, or would you rather try to avoid getting stabbed or beaten up for being a nerd if you actually try in any classes?

legal

no doubt the legal system is now way beyond the reach of normal people now unless one of those public litagation sharks thinks they can get half of the money
