Women are much smarter, craftier and hard-nosed than men. Well, your dad may have burned you physically, but it's the mom's mental anguish laid against your soft cerebral cortex that hurt the most. Women know instinctively how to get what they want and women like Elizabeth Dole want what is right for the country. A man hears what he want to hear and disregards the rest. A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

First of all, I should state that I am a calculus major with a statistics minor, so I think I am quite decently informed from case work on this subject. Statistics, when used properly, are in fact an excellent way to gauge correlations between events, and probabilities. What I stress here though, is that they MUST be used properly. Question bias, operational bias, subject group bias and many other types of tampering can be used to skew results in desired directions. They are not worthy of further mention on this discussion page.
