    From "coming here anyway not just for your challenge" to a few thousand to 5K to 7K and now $40,000?
    Is the internet great or what? Where is it you're demanding I meet you at this time, Anchorage or Moscow?

    You mean scared OF? Rule number one: when claiming to have an unverifiable high IQ on the internet. Thou shalt not demonstrate the spelling and grammar of an elementary school special ED student who rides the short bus.

    YOU said you were coming here. YOU then said you weren't, because you "changed your plans". My offer has been exactly the same from the get go.

  5. Sure I'll wager you Tao, the last number thrown out by Lucrum was 89.3, name how much you want to lose that I'll best that one. Or are you saying your going to bet Lucrum will beat me? In no way do I have money to burn I'm just a small business man working like most Americans. But I do have money to put on a sure thing and me beating Lucrum is very close to a sure thing and me beating his 89.3 talking point number he puts up is 100% a sure thing. There are many things even if I think I can win on I won't bet. I work hard to save I'm not going to risk it just to take a challenge. But Lucrum isn't a challenge.

    You misunderstand me. I'm not betting on 89.3, nor you against Lucrum. The contest would be you against me. Winner takes the pot. Having taken a corporate sponsored IQ test several years ago, I'm relatively sure what my number is.

    LOL
    Reading comprehension is not one of his strong points.

    How he thinks he'll be able to correctly comprehend the questions on an IQ test I have no idea.

  8. The Conservative mindset. . .

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida woman could end up in prison for 60 years when she's retried for firing a shot in the direction of her estranged husband and two of his children.

    Marissa Alexander, 33, was convicted in 2012 on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 20 years — three counts served concurrently. An appeals court tossed the conviction, saying Circuit Judge James Daniel made a mistake in shifting the burden to Alexander to prove she acted in self-defense.

    During jury instructions, the judge said Alexander must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that her husband was abusive toward her.

    The case drew national attention after Alexander was denied immunity under Florida's "stand your ground" law.

    Alexander's supporters are angry that the state is seeking triple the original sentence.

    "It's unimaginable that a woman acting in self-defense, who injured no one, can be given what amounts to a life sentence," Free Marissa Now spokeswoman Helen Gilbert said. "This must send chills down the spine of every woman and everyone who cares about women and every woman in an abusive relationship."

  9. Conservatives Have Some Pretty Confused Thoughts About Vladimir Putin These Days

    Spend enough time down in the dodgier neighborhoods of our political discourse, and you'll come away with the funny feeling that the most flamboyant critics of the White House and its current occupant maybe don't have a real appreciation for what true "tyranny" and "autocracy" look like. People have some funny emotions sometimes, and it leads them to just toss around words, willy-nilly.

    On the one hand, conservatives are much less likely to view Obama in positive terms and more likely to view Putin as effective, experienced, bold and strong. However, Putin does not even get as much credit as Obama when it comes to other positive values -- like sincerity, honesty and religiosity -- suggesting only a begrudging respect for Putin.

    It is striking Putin and Obama are not far from each other on any of these positive features. But the overall picture does not suggest conservatives are fond of Putin.

    Maybe so, but these crosstabs are pretty strange!

    (All respondents) Which President has values more similar to yours? 45% Obama 10% Putin 45% Not sure

    Among Republicans:
    23% Obama
    18% Putin
    59% Not sure

    Among conservatives:
    18% Obama
    18% Putin
    65% Not sure

    The extent to which you can so completely lose the thread of what constitutes basic political and societal norms in the United States and Russia that you cannot be sure who holds values more similar to yours is a serious disorder.

    So, are you saying the woman should be given 60 years for firing a warning shot?
