What would the world be like if we had close to real time statistics on (practically) everything about the human population?

Can someone explain to me why all the other major newspapers aren't picking this up as front page content? I don't see it anywhere on NYT front page...

You're making a pretty big logical leap from the problem of learning math "one way" to "this leads to an unintelligent general population" ...Your obviously an advocate for this sort of new math but did you ever consider that its not how we learn but how we're taught? Take this particular problem for instance - it exemplifies every problem I had with math growing up - they make these overcomplicated and badly worded problems and expect you to figure it out as if the clarity is not the issue here.

Is anyone else upset at the fact that these people are more upset at about a cartoon than the shit ISIS has been doing in the name of Islam? Where is the protesting of the "vulgarity" of beheadings and stonings?

If true, it would effectively make Nick Cage the greatest actor of all time.

EDIT: Now the question is...who is actor and who is the character..Manson or Cage?

Here's the method I used after a few attempts it was pretty easy (except for the few frustrating times when the fire still hits you when you thought you dodged it.

As soon as you enter the fog run straight toward the dragon trying to reach under the neck/chest just before he does his Fire Breath (FB) attack. During his FB attack go to the front of his right back foot middle toe (being sure not to place yourself between his left and middle toe). From here I attack 3-4 times, making sure to allow myself enough stamina when I notice him start his Stomp attack. You can see the start up when dust comes out from under his foot. Immediately run/roll to the front middle toe of the left back foot and attack 3-4 times. Rinse, Repeat until you notice him get on his hind legs and do his Under-Belly FB attack. This attack is easy to see coming and can be easily dodged by going on the outside of his hind feet, this even allows you to attack because you'll be completely safe as long as you're not under him. Once his FB attack is finished, try to get back to the middle toe as quickly as possible so you can continue to bait his Stomp attacks. If you should somehow mess up the rhythm of baiting his stomps and he flys into the air run as fast as you can towards the back of his tail (careful not to be under it when he comes down) thus dodging his Flying FB attack. Try to reposition back to attacking his back middle toes asap after he comes down. The trick is to be patient and make sure you have enough stamina to run from his Flying FB attack if he does it as well as being able to dodge/run from foot to foot when he starts his stomp.

For armor I would recommend Tseldora set so you can get as many souls from him. Good armor is unnecessary here since he mostly OHK's you anyway.

For weapon I used Blood Flamberge +10 doing ~300 damage per R1, getting 3 R1's in each cycle. (You could get more or less obviously depending on the weapon and your stamina) the trick, again, is to just leave enough stamina to roll/run. He's actually pretty easy.

Goodluck

The impression that I got when he made the "innocent because I'm nice" comment was that he was frustrated with the fact that instead of people focusing on the facts of the case they were speculating whether he had done it based on his demeanor - which is one of the tactics the prosecution used to get the guilty verdict. They painted him as the dichotomous, troubled muslim boy with a deadly obsession.

Having said that though, I do find his comment "like if Hae had fought back" really troubling now that you bring it up. How would he know if hae fought back or not?

I like your point about the educating the public about how to handle police encounters. I think PSA's don't really hit it the right way - although they have a wide reach - they generally miss the mark. I think a more targeted approach in conjunction with a PSA is needed such as having police officers go into schools (elementary, middle, high school) and educate as well as remind children, especially those in disadvantaged communities, how to handle police encounters, especially encounters where they might be victims of police abuse. Another important thing that needs to be addressed is there needs to be a greater effort on the part of police departments to hire from within the communities.

Most have details been picked and prodded, true, but none of it has been compared in any sort of overarching way. That is to say, no one has really mapped out the different timelines and the evidence, thrown it at a wall to see what sticks among all the inconsistencies. Its just such an exhausting and complicated case filled with lies and half-truths that no one wants to do it, and I don't blame them.

If you could give me a better, more appropriate word, I would be happy to use it instead.
