The 20% swing isn't taking error into account - as the results put both countries in the same moderate category, which hardly supports your conclusion that it means "a lot less" in Canada.


Pretty sure the margin of error is a lot less than 20%. And theres a 50% chance errors make the spread smaller than it otherwise would be.

In either case... 20% is a pretty big difference.

which hardly supports your conclusion that it means "a lot less" in Canada.


Youre just trying to turn this into a debate about simantics. Most people would consider 20% to be pretty a pretty significant difference.

But how about we just say.... "It means that Religion is 20% less important in Canada than the US plus or minus the polls margin of error." :lol:

I didn't really comment on that end of things.

And you didn't really stop to think that "that end of things" was what I was objecting to?? Dre didn't say "poor states," he said "poor crappy states," which is what my comment was clearly in response to.

I'm never really sure what you're objecting too. I can't really comment on the crappiness of Alabama though.

Done. Nothing like ignorance taking over a "discussion."

Have a great night.

And naturalized citizens have to swear/affirm allegiance to a monarchy that discriminates against Catholics.

I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen.

Seriously. We both comment on the same point and she seems to think her response was clearly about the word crappy. I thought the intention was that the states were poor and obviously you did as well.

LOL! Then why is it in the Preamble at all? Somebody must have been thinking about Jeebus back in 1982.
