Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I just took it again out of curiosity just to see if my results would change. I ended up with: Economic Left/Right: -4.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't understand. What does "not online" mean? Is it like this "sleep" thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 No, no: sleep is an emergency function that occurs when you reach the "low power" state; but it can be put off indefinitely by constantly recharging with fuel like coffee, soda, or a good cup of tea. "Not online" is actually called "Offline", and that's what happens when you die. _________________________ The Silent Assassin is currently "Away", leaving a message saying that he's hiding from Franky the Hot Dog Man somewhere in Siberia. I am certain that this is a misdirection. He is, in reality, "unavailable": the missus saw him climb into the trunk of a neighbor's car.

I magically updated it with paint, because for whatever reason the UI for creating a new chart requires you to re-input every single prior datapoint, and Paint requires you to draw a circle and a text box.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Soul of Wit Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 First-time taker: Economic Left/Right: -7.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08 I would guess that I have moved to the left, economically, over time. As a US citizen, my world view is that the corporations are eating us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Originally Posted By: Dintiradan My ideal government has an opinion on as few things as possible.

But if the statement said "B is better than A", I would still respond with "Disagree". I noticed that as well. There are too many questions on that poll where I would rather have had a "It depends on the individual circumstances." I guess that attitude is what has earned me a place on several juries.

Actually, I looked forward to being called on to serve my public duty, probably for the same reason I volunteered for military service. I found the experience quite educational. I have regrettably had to defer from jury duty because of my Parkinson's, but now that it is under control, I look forward to serving again.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I was talking more about what lawyers look for in potential jurors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 That is what the lawyer wanted if you read the full text from I think it was the third Fuzzy book. The defense lawyer fought long and hard to prevent the exclusion of his 12 moronic jurors so he would have a group that could be easily dazzled with his words and fail to convict. Lawyers don't want impartial jurors or ones that will consider the circumstances. They want jurors that will give the lawyer's preferred outcome.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Originally Posted By: Aranophobia You're going to make me use my converter? ([0.144961, 6.969493] in cartesian, for reference.) So after a second year of vector conversion (last year was Calc BC, this year is AP Physics), I hate the thought of converting. At least Dantius uses radians... Originally Posted By: Dantius Originally Posted By: Master1 Do you prefer cylindrical or spherical coordinates for your three-dimensional map? Spherical, since the "r" value for a 2-D plane could be interpreted as the level of political "extremism" (for lack of a better word), so since it's a useful metric it should be preserved into 3 dimensions as well- which cylindrical would not do. That's actually a very well-reasoned explanation for a very smart-*$$ joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyers don't want impartial jurors or ones that will consider the circumstances. They want jurors that will give the lawyer's preferred outcome. Actually, I fear you may be hitting too close to the mark. Having gone through eight voire dires, here is my impression. Prosecutors do attempt to get fair minded people who will rule on the facts. To lose on appeal because of jury bias is not an appealing risk. Defense lawyers look for people who may be sympathetic to their case. And all bets are off in a civil trial, especially on high priced class action suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
