    the left is preaching to the choir, as they prefer to. The undecided middle are likely having enough of it and have two choices... "trump" or "biden"... i think most would choose trump
  • b
    service trade wager? Like a gentleman's bet?
  • b
    Yeah, but for a broke but skilled gentleman such as myself. 🙃
  • c
    i feel ya on that intox
  • b
    Like you can assign me Haxeui issues or forum duty or something if I lose.
  • b
    ill take trump to win at 60% of the popular vote
  • b
    And I flip that roughly

    > gentleman's bet (plural gentlemen's bets) A bet in which no money is bet; only the honor of the two parties is at stake. There is no need for proof that one party's side of the bet has been fulfilled; he or she is taken at their word.

    this is a european part of the haxe discord server :p
  • b
    But that Biden is ultimately also seeen as winning electoral.
  • b
    possibly
  • b
    the electorial stuff honestly makes no real sense to me
  • b
    Could use some fixing for sure.
  • b
    seems like its already a fix to be honest, i get why it used to exist, back in ye old days
  • b
    And I feel a modified version for present day would have merit.
  • b
    same as your 2nd amendment really (the guns one)... i get that when those pesky brits where around it made sense to have a musket or 7, but now a days, no real need to have a GPMG under your bed
  • c
    depends on what neighborhood you are in.... these days if your are white in a number of areas you are a target lol..... and police are busy.
  • b
    It was Only ever meant for malitia in case of attack or really bad gov. Been massively perverted.
  • b
    true, but that is the same in alot of places.... most develop nations dont walk around with firearms "ready to go"
  • b
    and most dont have nearly the death rate from said firearms because of it
  • b
    Preaching to the choir on that one.
  • b
    i love guns... they are alot of fun... i dont want them at bars when people get mouthy
  • b
    just use knives, takes alot more effort, and you have to really mean it
  • c
    I look at it this way.... and you are familiar with statistics.... when i got involved in crunching numbers for medical devices to get approval from fda..... the first book given to me on the subject that made sense was called.... How to Lie with Statistics. I have never looked at publicly presented statistics the same since then.
  • b
    ? So deaths in europe from firearms are comparable with deaths in the US?
  • c
    I'm just saying the data chosen to be counted and the data chosen to be left out, can make a big difference in the results of whats said.... and they know how to manipulate that data very well in the US
  • b
    meh, maybe, but to be fair what you are saying is "i wont look at the data because ive already decided its wrong"
  • b
    im not super anti gun... i just think its crazy you guys arent a little more conservative about "the general population" walking around with a firearm
  • c
    no, i'm saying i do pay attention to the data.... but i dont listen to the media... and carefully dig through the data from where the data is shared.
  • c
    i personally enjoy digging through our government websites.
