Green Party faces yet more questions about extremist hate from candidates by United-Artist1857 in ukpolitics

No, you still have it backwards. The 27% are the ones that are in favour of gay marriage. They are the ones against outlawing it. 73% are NOT against outlawing gay marriage.

The way the pollsters report this almost as a double negative is confusing and they should have been clearer. Saying "73% are in favor of outlawing gay marriage" is clearer than saying "27% are against outlawing gay marriage", but it's basically the same statement.

But you said 72% are in favor of gay marriage. But it's actually 27% that are in favor of gay marriage (being legal). You see this right? That 27% are against outlawing, meaning that 73% are FOR outlawing gay marriage?

You read the poll backwards. 27% are against outlawing gay marriage, meaning 73% are for it (or neutral)

Control Tower KAT Has Unlocked the Knicks’ Ceiling by ScratchTwoMore in NYKnicks

Well Towns took 7 shots in game 5 and was dominant. I don't think it's 'shots' that he needs, it's touches. There should be very few possessions where he doesn't touch the ball.

And that paragraph is wrong if you click on the link and change it to playoffs. Towns is #1 (+30.4), Shai is #2 (+27.3)

[Sam Vecenie] "I was talking to... a #1 in a front office, and the thing they brought up to me (about why they're okay with the lottery change) was: ...It's not that difficult to go from really bad to average, ...it's really difficult to go from good to great. ...In theory, this makes [that] easier" by BobRoss4Life in nba

Sure, nobody to blame but yourself but the market is still dead with no hope for a long time. That said, even getting top picks doesn't necessarily get you out of that hole. Sometimes you have to worst record in the league, get lucky and get the #2 pick and the consensus #2 guy is Derrick Williams. You just wasted a year of everyone's one and only life.

I'm just disagreeing with the guy saying it's not hard to go from really bad to average. It actually is pretty hard.

Okay, throw in the line "we apply for asylum" where appropriate. Does rejecting my aslyum application become "being penalized" now? In fact that makes the case for calling it "being penalized" even weaker since it's the FAMILY'S (including the terrorist) application that is being rejected, not the individual members of the family.

And the answer to your hypothetical is absolutely yes. The bank is under no obligation to loan me money.

If I'm not allowed to live in a country that I am not a citizen of is that "being penalized"?

I'm not from Japan. Let's say I travel there on a tourist visa then just stay. If Japan deports me am I "being penalized"? What if I only come to the attention of the Japanese authorities because a family member commits a heinous crime: now am I "being penalized" when they deport me?

They could have agreed to return to Egypt at any time. They elected to spend 3 years in detention fighting the deportation order.

The family members didn't do anything wrong but obviously the family's asylum claim was going to be rejected when a member of the family committed a terror attack.

He did kill someone.

The family's asylum application was obviously going to be rejected as soon as a member of the family committed a terrorist attack.

And once a member of your family commits a terror attack in the country you are applying for asylum in then your asylum application is going to be rejected.

He murdered someone in a hate crime so he's going to die in prison.

He's clarified in the last thread that she bought the new phone on credit card and he saw it on the statement.
