Topic	In case you haven't heard, apparently Trump is making up his own fake news now.

Moreover, constitutions can be changed and amended - only the US seems to have this weird fixation on a 300-year-old document being some infallible piece of wisdom that never needs updating due to the march of time and the changing of society and techology. Zeus posted... Figured you might actually pay attention to what he said. You might want to go and have a re-read yourself. Here, I'll even give you the expanded quote: "We've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany. You look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what's happening in Brussels. You look at what's happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris." Guess what happened in Germany, Brussels, Nice, and Paris over the last few years? Terrorist attacks. Guess what didn't happen in Sweden on the night referenced? A terrorist attack. You really shouldn't be surprised at Trump lying about this. After all, this is the same administration that brought us the Bowling Green Massacre and the Atlanta Islamist terrorist attack which - just like Trump's lie here - both never happened. Zeus posted... These are things happening on a daily basis. You're just moving the goalposts. I'm moving the goalposts? Excuse me? And your claim on this is a pathetically flimsy "these things happen on a daily basis"? News flash for you, sparky - Sweden's homicide rate is sitting at 1.14 per 100k, meaning they have just over 100 deaths a year. It is literally impossible for terrorist attacks to be happening on a daily basis, because Sweden has fewer annual homicides than there are days in a year. You know what? I'm calling your bluff on this. Prove that a terrorist attack happened on the night Trump referenced. If you can't, you're lying just as much as the president whose leg you're humping. Zeus posted... Overlooking that Sweden's grenade attacks are in ADDITION to their other crimes (and not touching on the fact that your claim is a pretty massive distortion given that it's been a GROWING trend with the vast majority of incidents happening in the last FOUR years), you're pretending that 10/year is a great acceptable number in a nation that previously averaged ZERO per year. Guess you need some stats homework too. Man, I should run a course on this board. OK, Zeus, your reading assignment for this evening is to go lookup "small sample size" and write a report back on how it distorts statistical trends. Return to the discussion after you've figured it out. Zeus posted... Not true at all. Aptly put - it was not true at all. Glad we're in agreement on this. Zeus posted... If you mean to imply that Canadian history classes teach nothing of the history of foreign nations -- which is blatantly untrue -- then Canada's education system is vastly worse than the US's considering that the US covers the history of other nations. I never said Canada taught no history of foreign nations; merely that there's little reason why anyone outside the US would care about Jefferson or Twain specifically or why they would bother to learn about them. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
