That's nothing, you haven't seen CNN's geography skills.
The best college education money could buy. The parents must be so proud.
Margin of error 10%.
+1 (.10)
It'll be closer...
56-54 is my expert opinion
Surely, you should redo the calcualtions. It will be 55-55, a landslide win for the No vote.
Awesome!! I got the over, bitchez!! Cha-ching. And my bookie said it was a sure loser. Haha, what a dummy.
I'm just gonna start whacking motherfuckers with a stick till the math feels right.
You work for Diebold, right?
Piss on you.
I work for Mel Brooks!
CNN = Comedy News Network
At event horizon, media-No center can't hold.
Works in Chicago.
I used to live there. Great people. A lot of corruption at all levels, even the street lights. One light in Mount Prospect had a yellow that went IMMEDIANTLY to red. Go figure. Almost got banged there.
The extra 10% is the seasonal adjustment that the big banks need to make sure the vote ends up No.
Common coreholed
... the old college try ...
I had a buddy tell me once his old coach said "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."
When poll data +/- 2% ends up as Democracy MSM votes, there is no Democracy.
That's how the nigger in chief got voted in twice.
The Republic needs to be restored, not train wreck democrats giving away free shit for nothing.
Ease up on the paint thinner, there, Rufus.
They're just letting you know the 11's are in control.
Cameron's asstant: i have bad news and good news,
Cameron: Wht's the bad news?
Assistant: The yes vote got 52% of the vote
Cameron: So what is the good news?
Assistant: The no vote got 58%"
There is more truth in that than we suspect.
I'll give them an 11 out of 10 for trying at least. My old teacher used to say, "There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't."
i think i get it: one of the types actually counts, the others don't?
Reminds me of Michael Badnarik's illustration of a verbal trap:
- Do you beat your wife often?
- No!
- So, you do admit to beating your wife!
So Senator, have you stopped beating your wife?
From Bloom County long ago.
Bloom County, now there's a blast from the past. You know that cartoonist is one of those PETA assholes, yes?
If animals we're meant to be eaten, why are they made out of meat?

CNN Math/geography at its finest!
5 out of 4 people cannot do fractions
This is totally acceptable in common core
Hold your horses,,,only five quarters of the precincts have reported so far.
Unfortunately, the humor is lost on most US public high school graduates as they fail to see anything wrong with that graphic.
Fuck, your lucky of anyone at cnn knows where scotland is.
I'll bet you a case of the good stuff most of them don't.
after all they did manage to get Lybia mixed up with India right before NATO started bombing the shit out of them...
common core. it doesn't matter where in the world you place a country, just so long as you can explian how they got there.

It's just North of Hadrians' Wall; which the Romans built to hide behind after they sent a whole legion into the Northern Mists and waited for them to report back their successful enslavement of the local barbarians. And waited, and waited, and waited. and No one came back. No dog. no camp follower. no wife, no mistress, no child, no horse. nothing came back. It was as far as the Roman's got; that far and no farther.
They gave it 110% to fend them off!
They don't pick 'em for their brains.
Ya know......sometimes the comments here warm the cockles of my heart. I DO love sarcasm. Most of the time ZH comments shine in that dept. Thanks.
Must be a new Oracle Database
I've found it strange that there have been no reports of exit polls or any other means of gauging the mood of the voters. To me that means that the Yes vote has probably been overwhelming, therefore unmentionable. Because if that kind of info was passed on to us lowlifes, we might be disbelieving when the No vote eventually wins. So this display of precision and accuracy is no surprise, even though the outcome has been inverted.
Scotland independence referendum: with no exit poll isn’t there a democratic deficit?
Like almost all political chores, people volunteer to perform exit polls, so the argument that they are too expensive isn't very persuasive. Oh wait, I forgot about the acres of supercomputers required to collate and summarize the yes/no responses. My bad.
Obama's motor voter scam has infected Scotland?
I think the team over at CNN may want to brush up a bit on the maths.
just a suggestion...
Why? Their viewers don't see anything wrong with those numbers.
If voting really counted it would be made illegal.
Poll taken by this guy!
Don't worry it's real... Swear to God... Honest!
As unbelievable as it sounds, Chuck Jaco still lives!!!!
This is when you know and understand America deserves everything it will get!!!!!

And that's all that happened to him,
Ted Turner, Bill Webster and G.H.W. Bush and everyone that worked under them ALL retired with their profits, pensions and diapers intact!
Just ask Jamie Dimon. Is this the greatest fucking Country or What!
British Telegraph has a live link up for the count - just announced the Brit version of a Five-Minute Warning
And so it begins. Also from the Telegraph ...
- Late YouGov 'exit poll' shows Yes 46, No 54
Ah do mah cypherin' down by the cee-ment pond
The real mind fuck here is the YES campaign wants to succeed for Britain to join the fucking EU! They don't truly want to be free... just want to be ruled by another master. Watching scottish TV and listening to both sides online, it's an argument over how's gonna give them the most welfare as far as I can tell.
That goes to the question Montgomery Scott asked a few pages ago, which was whether or not it was true that Scotland was looking for more benefits out of this.
I had heard that Scotland is very liberal (only has one conservative member in parliament) and that they likely want independence because they see the UK being conservative for the near future.
I was wondering how these liberals were planning to work hard and support themselves economically, and then I saw your comment. It all makes sense now.
What does a Scotsman have under his kilt?
58% on the left, 52% on the right.
Latest figures from a completed area - Yes - 4,000,
No - 10,000 in round numbers, of course. Not going well for the Yes side.

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."

A special thank you for CNN for their coverage at the next Trilateral Commission meeting.

I've been busy, but it's still nice to find you here. Crazy as always.

no

Man. You still can't get coherent. Not for one single post. I kind of feel sorry for you Bob. But not really too much.
If you didn't understand his post, you must be retarded.
Thanks for the cogent and very infomative reply. By the way... most civilized people stopped using the word "retarded" about 20 years ago. But, anyway, thanks for the input.
And as my mom supplemented her income by working with retarded children, she was obviously some kind of psycho Nazi bitch out to destroy the future of mankind. You pathetic people who think rewording things to make you feel better is going to ease the plight of those who truly suffer make me want to puke.
Minge seems young, unaware of Political Correctness and the manipulation of language.
Or, I'm 53 and don't really care what bloggers think. Language is something of which I'm very well aware. I watch it get degraded every day; and that saddens me. You lose the language, you lose your objective.
Why then do you apparently support elimination of words by language fascists? Do you not object to framing of discourse? Would you inhibit the communication of complex or unorthodox ideas? Whom would you prefer to choose your vocabulary?

What the fuck are you deducing from my comments?
I don't mean to rankle you. ZH attracts free thinkers from diverse and contrarian backgrounds. Expect friction if you attempt to dictate word choice. Rgds
I get, and totally agree, with your point. I just think that, after 6 years of observation, ZH no longer attracts thinkers from diverse and contrarian backgounds.
I don't mind friction in the least. After all, this is a fight club.
I sadly think the site has become overrun by ideologs with closed minds that don't appreciate diverse and contrarian points.
Let the arrrows speak for themselves.
I wonder about that. At what point does awakening become groupthink? Why do a few posters work so hard to plant disinformation and sow discord, if not to suppress unwanted consensus?
Sorry for the age comment.
Dude. My wife of 26 years is bi-polar. I've worked with her every step along the way to make her life fulfilling. We even trained a Rottwwiler to be a therapy dog so she could take him to help others and, in the bargain, help herself. If you want to puke, go ahead. That's why plumbers made sinks.
You strke me as a self-pitying douche, who is using my word-choice as a way to attack my point.
I hate assholes like you. Dedicate your life to those who mentally suffer. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
-100 again for calling someone a "self pitying douche" whilst simultaneously bleating about your bi-polar wife. Spine up, motherfucker.
I'm not bleating. I'm just trying to provide some real-world perspecitve. You can like me or dislike me as you wish. It really doesn't matter to me, as I have real world (not conspiracy theory) things I work with every day.
But I applaud yout amateurish attempt to insult me. When you are older and have experienced some real life pain, I'll welcome your debate.
You missed the point entirely. I don't know you, and neither like nor dislike you. I dislike your self-appointment as the Leader of the PC Patrol. We on this board have seen countless instances of someone trying to change the course of a debate by redefining words or attempting to ban words, which is the method most commonly employed by the desperate. "Undocumented Worker". "Climate Change." "Bossy". "Differently Abled". "Mentally Challenged". "________-American". "Handicapable". "Quantitative Easing." You see where I'm going with this?
I do see where you are going. But a lot must be lost in typing versus speaking. We're both on the same page.
bone dry mr and mrs minge

bi polar wifey

yes sir.
add your diabetes flat feet and jewish blood into the mix
you got one fucked up minge
yes sir
That really stings. Ouch.
-100 for political correctness. One of the most common sayings on ZH is "You never go full retard."
You, sir? You have gone full retard.
I truly value your judgement as to when one goes "full retard." I never knew who to turn to when I thought that happened, but now I know. It's you! I might send you requests now and then when I think people went "full retard." I hope you will be kind enough to read their stories and apply your quite objective judgement.
There's a reason I picked the user name "CaptainObvious". See if ya can't figure it out.

on the margin of your statement: The people who count the votes decide everything.
At the congres 1936, there have been 300 delegates.
Kagan was the chief of the electoral commision.
There was Sergei Kirov against Stalin.
the original votes have been 297 for Kirov and 3 for Stalin.
Stalin was f**cking Kagan's sister those times, his last mistress before the death.
So Kagan turned it arround and Stalin won the party presidency ....
Kagan died a nornal death in a bed. He was the biggest killer of all mankind times. Stalin signed off, together with other comrades, but Kagan prepared the strategy and led the control of the execution and the audit of the execution of his policy, he collected the numbers.
Oops! Banksters' propaganda stooges made a boo-boo.

Only thing that annoys me more is when someone brags about watch PBS or prefaces something by saying "I was listening to NPR..."
That is classic. So true!
Agree with you 110%
Actually for the initiated, not the sheeple, they are quite important to watch, or read, for insight on what and they want us to believe.
The dichotomy between the complicit media's "reporting," and what is really happening in the Ukraine and the Middle East has been quite telling of late.

Dundee looks to be the only major city voting Yes.
And West Dunbartonshire.
Dumfries, where the bard of Ayrshire Robert Burns last lived, votes solidly for Union... not looking good for the nationalists.
One side of my family originates from Dumfries, other side from the Hebrides. One lowland the other highland. One protestant the other catholic. One voted no and one voted yes.
It's basically even with 9 of 32 reporting...
http://www.bbc.com/news/events/scotland-decides/results
BBC has always been a major propaganda mouth piece of London Interests and the government, especially when dealing with major local and international issues.
Not a reliable source of info. It's UK's version of CNN, Fox, NY Times and the likes.
The BBC is funded by a TV license which is forced upon the people of Britain by government edict. So in every sense it is government TV.
You have to give 110% if you want to be successful.
CNN CEO: Make the vote close to 50 50 to keep people interested and make them believe that the race is close.
CNN Employee: That's easy. I just put a 5 in front of both numbers then. The viewers will easily figure out our message. Snicker hahahhh.
TPTB "shaping" Maths too? Or a message.
When was the last time there was a vote in which the good side, or peoples good and right-up candidate won? Maybe Kennedy was the last real president America had but the fact is, there has not been a leader or a foreign policy that has done anyone any good for what seems like decades. Why don't those crazy babylonians have any policies or agendas that are good for the people, world, and the home countries any moar?
Meh, who cares. It is all corruption that is moar like a evil-scruddy-scabbie-mold killing it's host ever so slowly. Then what?
There was this thing we were thinking about and it related to the soldiers being sent to Africa where the weaponized patented Ebola is now. It was the soldiers that brought the 1918 Spanish Flu back to the USA that killed millions, Yes? Why would they do that? Maybe to protect the bio-labs and creators of the Ebola to ensure the soldiers get the Ebola virus?
And why do they bring those other infected people to this country? So when they die, they can make vaccines with the tainted blood? This is a certain evil false flag event that is a on a slow march to either become a real pandemic, or to be played as if it is one to scare the nation into forced tainted and infected vaccinations. What is shaping up is darn scary. Time tells all things.
Here is an article that everybody should have seen by now. It comes as no surprise in the insano-world of black is white, and all is good world-wide, and war started over lies and false propaganda forever is the only thing humanity wants any moar. What else is there to live for. Moar Woar!
Any which, check this out.:

And take a listen to what ol Mike Rivero had to say today. He put into words exactly what we were all thinking. Would they actually contaminate the soldiers and then bring them back to become carriers of the Ebola? Listen at minute 3:16:
http://cdn2.gcnlive.com/cache/gcn_archives/WhatReallyHappened/WhatReally...
And it was awesome to hear some real truth coming from a former official regarding many of the truths that everybody knows about on the radio today. Take a listen to the last hour of the AJ show and be encouraged that maybe more and moar whistle blowers will come forward to speak truth to power, and that the wheels of real justice will eventually have her way.

At the root of a politically leftist ideology is the belief that "objective reality" does not exist. Therefore, 2 + 2 = whatever a lib wants it to be. :)
Lets put it this way.
For such a high voter turn out, you should ideally expect that the majority of voters want to vote for independence, its generally a trend that humans gather and vote when they want something different from what they have now.... and generally people who want to keep things the way they are, are the type of personality that sits on the sidelines.
For such a large voter turn out, it should be a land-slide vote, not this 50/50 bullshit 110% of the voters were polled bs. . .
Uk has too much at stake to let the scots have independence , the vote poll is bs.
Obviously everyone showed up to vote yes, but come morning the lines will be a buzz with "the scots voted no".
So w.e its to be expected nowadays.
From a socio-economic standpoint independence is just good business sense on the part of the scots... they would be fools to pass up the opportunity to shed themselves of the parasitic UK.
All in all, the 48% of scots that supposedly want independence , should gather and fight for independence for their respective regions.
ALSO
The voters were stacked YES, but the people counting the votes, stacked them on the NO side ;P
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUR-HgAtwtg
Lol the vote is bs.
This is why paper ballots are stupid. . . no oversight.
VOTER ID with a tab system so voters can independly check to see their votes are counted correctly ! or GTFO if you are responsible enough to vote for the future of your country, you are responsible enough to make your vote public to some extent after the votes are cast (just use initials and last 4 digits or something)
Thats how you get 110% voter turn out in polls, you get the people counting the votes to re-vote for the people who voted.
^^
Obviously the poll was 58% YES 42% NO and they tried to switch the 4 to a 5 and forgot to make the 5 a 4 for the poll . . . . AND WHO PUTS NO ONTOP OF YES?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CHECK BOX WITH THE WORDS NO BEFORE YES?
ITS ALWAYS BLA BLA BLA DID YOU EVER??? YES ( ) NO ( )
Simply putting NO first presents it as the choice you should be looking at more as the assumption that its NO.
No form in the history of man kind puts No before Yes . . . atleast not any "good" forms.

uk cannot :
- say bye bye north oil
- 5 millions ppl
- 1/3 land territory.
scotish :
- hate english
- historically they fought with french against britain )
- want business freedom
now... vote is electronically done, and it was the most essential starting point of explosion of europ.
so.... you think the 55% no - 45% yes is reel ?
personally, when you see total bashing from cameron & singers to force vote yes. interaction with london city... rotchshit_lt, when you see total gaps in lil regions of scottish about 66% for yes, only big cities said no...
even if every scottish ppl said yes, such thing cannot happen.
I SAY : RIGGED.

Bleat!
Can I quote you?
Well how naive it would be to even think that they would let Scotland go independent. When people can vote and choose what they want for themselves things tend to get better, ( not perfect but better ) the elite knows it, so they have full control over elections therefore over people. And with the modern electronic voting it gets even worst They fabricate poll results and confirm it through a rigged voting counting scheme. It all boils down to who has the power. If you can choose your rulers and what you want YOU HAVE THE POWER. If they choose and make you think you did THEY HAVE THE POWER.

Wow! I'm puzzled. I've never seen so many hatred imbeciles gathered in one single place.
Face it, you animals! You've been preaching the end of the world since 2010. Meanwhile, ALL of us make tons of money. Does it hurt to be wrong and broke?
Btw, thanks to Obama, my 401k tripled since he's in the office. Make sure you vote out the repukes in November.
Now, let's see the little Schiffers make foam
You're first problem is it's your 401K, Cyprus anyone? Wait until the gubment takes it since Obummer built it. What are you paying in gas prices? Uh, double? What are you paying in food prices? Haven't your energy bills gone up? So I guess that trippled 401K will pay for the higher prices........inflation anyone? Due to the inflated numbers at the pumps and stores, YOU'RE paying your gubment higher hidden taxes. Oh, when you die that trippled 401K will go 50% to the gubment called a death tax. Hope the other 50% will cover the inflation your children will endure so you can make a lot of money..........idiot!!!!!!
Rocket Scientist; that is money printed and borrowed from future generations, most of these market gains are a manipulated farce.
I suppose like most of the left your only concern is how big are the government tits that you feed at and F' the future.
even at 100 equity, mathematically impossible unless you’re a stock picking/timing genius. But such genius wouldn’t make such a stupid comment.
Whether the Scottish indy vote was rigged or not (did Gordoom Brown spend the last six months filling out fake postal votes?), the accepted result is that 55% of Scots voted to continue having their lives ordered by Westminster in return for being allowed to keep sucking at the teet of the English taxpayer.
This is the result I always predicted and events over the last week or two were just a distraction to give the appearance of people wrestling with a momentous decision. Truth is that very few people anywhere choose to bite the hand that feeds them and the Scots are no different.
55% of Scots have shown the world they are incapable of standing on their own two feet. Much better to continue living on English welfare. Such is socialism.
Would you add the 'USA' in your picture, we are in the same if not worse position.
Real video proof of vote rigging,They stuffed up this time.Lets get this video viral http://youtu.be/kUR-HgAtwtg
The Chicken Noodle Network employs Einsteins who cannot count.
Ahh i see they are using the common core for addition
I wasn't surprised by the result in the least. I wanted Scottish independence but it takes real blood on the streets to get real results. I knew it was a complete facade from the start. Absolute zero power from Whitehall and Washington is as close to freedom we'll ever get. Keep the economics and any form of planning as local as possible.
