You provided a source showing genetics is a confounding factor to your original graph?

Do you not know what confounding means?

The problem is the misuse of statistics. I want to see a chart that looks at number of child attacks based on if the dog was trained to attack people or defend a home. From there, look at breed.

People buy and train pitbulls for protection. It's called a confounding factor.

If you look at just the result but not the cause you miss the point. That's how people use statistics to lie. That's why you're getting shit.

Religious folk are fanatically obsessed with other people's bedrooms. It's wacky. But I guess everyone needs a hobby. Too bad they don't just knit.

Traders. M&A sharks. Crypto geeks. Balls out types.

Not a back office accounting drone.

Resign? Over here in America she'd be promoted.

Yes. And it's just as likely that super-god created God to do exactly that.

But that's not the point. The scientific mind requires evidence and repeatability. To believe in God without evidence or repeatability means they've compartmentalized that part of their thinking.

Humans are fantastic at compartmentalization

Chinese... Assassins? Chinese... Newspapers? Chinese... Takeout?

Probably meant Chinese people, but it really could be anything.
