Explosions at Boston Marathon

I never said they did. What we have is two sets of people arguing the same statement from 2 different view points.

Not really. We have VTX, who wonders which ethnicity has the largest percentage of crazy bomb makers. Then we have cowgirl, who speculates that it may be caucasians (in the US). Then we have 2forISU, who implies that it's not caucasians and believes that some statistic about bombings in Afghanistan serves as definitive proof.

What VTX was wondering about was which of the following results in the greatest value:

Crazy bomb makers from Ethnicity 1 / Total population of Ethnicity 1

Crazy bomb makers from Ethnicity 2 / Total population of Ethnicity 2

......

Crazy bomb makers from Ethnicity n / Total population of Ethnicity N

2forISU has done nothing to answer that question.

I guess I took the question differently.

Crazy bomb makers from Ethnicity 1/ Total world pop

Crazy bomb makers from Ethnicity 2/ Total world pop


Can anyone answer this?

Since your denominator is the same in both numbers, why even include it? Just compare crazy bomb makers from ethnicity 1 vs. ethnicity 2.

Caucasians is the majority in the US and would likely have the higher %(US solely). Worldwide caucasians is the minority, so we might have a smaller %. My point is that labeling a group as majority "crazy bomb makers" is not a fair statement. The link posted states that crazy bomb makers are everywhere. We have no data that states one group is greater than the other.

My guess would be Han Chinese for no other reason than they comprise one out of every four people in the world and are by far the largest ethnicity on the planet...even if a very small portion of them are crazy bomb makers, the raw number probably dwarfs that from any other ethnicity.

This might be the dumbest turn of events the last couple hours. Do we really need to argue over which ethnicity has crazy bomb makers? When it all comes down to finding this suspect, its presumably one person, who could be from Antartica for all we know.

Who gives a crap, I just hope the FBI finds whoever he/she/it that did this terrible crime. I will be disgusted with them whether they are a Cyclone fan, a Nazi, a Canadian, or a Middle Eastern. It doesnt really matter.

 

[cowgirl836]

Unless you look at the world and realize they have kid suicide bombers in the middle east.

You must have short-term memory or don't watch the news about the Middle East.

I focused on the world in my post replying to you Cowgirl.

well now that I look back, I see that you didn't get the desired (or any) response from your first post to me so you tried again, including a couple little jabs. Congratulations, you got me to respond.

Why is it dumb? Who appointed you the judge? Your post was just as meaningless as any of the posts on the last few pages. Sure, we will probably all despise the perpetrator of the crime once the identity (or identities) is known. In the meantime, how about you shut the **** up, and let people discuss whatever they want on this nice little message board/online community?

Talk about a dumb turn of events...

This is a pretty crucial component of the whole profiling debate.

 

[TykeClone]

Any good reasons why the FBI says "we are going to release the photos later today to help aid in the search" rather than just releasing them?

Or why they would cancel 3 press conferences yesterday after the giant media-fail?

Things have to go through the proper channels, you know...

I don't see the jab.

I don't see the jab.

Neither did Michael Spinks.

No one appointed me judge. And by no means am I trying to start another argument. Just giving my POV. I have read nearly every post in this thread as I find it interesting, but the crazy bomb maker equations gave me a good laugh, which is what led to my post.

And yes, I understand the point of a message board, and I have no problem with people posting their opinions. I know you are going to nitpick this current post and find something else to argue about and "prove" me wrong. I just want you to know that I thought the debate was ridiculous (more in a funny way, of course you couldnt tell that through my post).

Classic line at the end too. BURNED

Well, this thread sucks now.

Any new news on the BM Bombing?

The Ron Paul in your signature is staring into the cold dark corners of my soul.

 

[Tailg8er]

Speaking of 'which group is more likely to bomb', has a woman ever bombed anything in the US? (or committed any mass shootings/stabbings,etc?)

Not nearly as much as this guy will

I believe some of the Weather Underground Organization bombings were done by women.

4pm CT Press conference planned. That is, until they cancel it.
