OK, you're going to stick to the notion that the number of Google search results indicates whether or not an assertion is true?

I just searched "God is real" and I got 633,000,000 results, dwarfing every other search in this discussion by a factor of 10. Apparently, Thomas Aquinas could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just waiting until Google was invented.

Please, can we just put aside the notion that the number of search results has any meaning beyond the fact that lots of bloggers, posters and partisans have mentioned it?

I'm curious. Does Tylenol actually do anything for anyone? I've tried it for aches and pains, bruises, sprains and fever and it's never had the least effect.

Ibuprofen, yes, that works. Aspirin works. Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, all work to varying degrees. Tylenol? Nothing.

Do any of you use acetaminophen with good results? I know hospitals give it out, but here in the States, hospitals don't really give a shit about patients' pain. They probably just give Tylenol because it has so few contraindications.

2) They realize that the absurdly high taxes in New York are driving businesses away,

New York's job count is at an all-time high.

8chan is that way.

Oh, my jitterbugging christ. Did you read the thread?

Of course the number of search results doesn't prove anything.

im lost at what your point was, the numbers seem by coincidence to be completely accurate. Are you saying the opposite should be true?

Holy shit, you're serious. You really believe the number of google search results is an indication of the truth of an assertion. I'm shocked.

OK, here we go: If you google "global warming is real", you get 59,600,000. That's even more than "clinton corrupt" or "bush stupid". so...

I'm glad we can finally shut up the global warming deniers with this irrefutable proof, right? So here's your job: Whenever someone posts on Slashdot saying that global warming is a hoax, I want you to post the exact number of google search results for "global warming is real" and patiently explain to them that this proves that it's real. Do that for me, OK? You will show everyone just how smart conservatives are.

With that in mind, see if you can watch this video without laughing.

Bullshit. You'll vote for her.

No.

OK, here's my idea:

There's an accelerometer in the Apple Watch, right? So, I write an app that plays a yodeling sound whenever the watch shakes. Then, when you jerk off, it sounds like this:

Come on, you know that would be the all-time Apple Watch killer app. I'm a lazy bastard, so I freely give this idea to any of you app devs who want to run with it. Just give me a shout out in the "about" page.

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords!

Well, she just announced her candidacy, so we're on our way!

the difference being that they were not running their own servers

No, they were using Google servers. Is that supposed to be better?

but based on those links,

You didn't read those links. Don't lie.

but based on those links, there is a HUGE difference between them and hillary

Yes, one big difference. But I'm not taking gender into account.

If you read more than just the first link, you'd have found that while governor of Florida, Jeb Bush used his private email accounts to discuss troop movements and security issues. I don't know about Florida, but everywhere else, that's considered "official business".

You think no one voted for "the first black president" just because he was black? Your ignorance is incredible.

There were black candidates before Obama. No, I don't think people voted for him "just" because he was black. If that was the case, Allen West would have been elected president in 2012.

I've stopped believing that a president is still a "national leader". I honestly don't believe the person in the office of the president makes much difference any more. Not as long as the wealthy elite get to vet every major candidate before we even learn their names.

Are we supposed to choose sides here?

That wasn't my point.

I have no love for either. I just objected to the idea that the number of search results has any meaning regarding the truth of a claim.

For example, I'm seeing 43,500,000 search results for "real UFO". Does that mean UFOs are real?

Personally, I would rather not see Hillary Clinton as president.

You didn't read the links either. Like Clinton, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Rick Perry and Chris Christie released some of their private emails. The ones they said were pertinent.

Just as Clinton is doing.

Pot, kettle, I don't care. Just don't bullshit yourself.
