Oh, cut the crap. No wonder you're a liberal. You can't keep simple arithmetic straight. We were talking STATISTICS here, whaleboy. Numbers. Mathematics. 50% = 1/2. Period. Go ahead. Deny that. Make an even bigger fool of yourself than you already have. You've already admitted you can't back up the claims you've made. I never implied 50%...those are your words. You said "half the people". 1/2 = 50/100. Do you deny that? Or are you trying for a convenient weasel? My, my, aren't we backpedaling fast now that we've been caught.
