I HATE STATISTICS!!!!!

Statistics are doo doo. People lie through their asses when some magazine
runs a survey. Joe Schmoe thinks he's a stud so he says he's "had" 1000
women, three this morning. Jane Doe, a devout Catholic and employee of
Kleen Kut Wholesome Co. will not admit she engaged in autoanallingus in
front of her Gay Biker Commie Chapter of Hell's Demon Spawn.

When someone on the net says," Wow I read this thing that says n% of the
people who responded to the generic survey did such-and-such", 40 other
hackers say, well MY STATISTICS say...

It really dehumanizes issues that are fascinating, horrifying, amusing,
lively, and inspiring. I unsubscribed from net.women because a bunch of
armchair statisticians quoted rape stats like they were talking about
Hank Aaron's RBI record. Anyone who may have wanted to share real thought
on the issue was no doubt intimidated by these non-contributors. ("Well
they may haveknocked in YOUR teeth with a tire iron, but 90% of the victims
didn't etc.")(flame flame)

This is why I read net.pets. I haven't seen any statistics. Lets get off the
numbers and get SOCIAL!
