No George, I wholeheartedly agree. You substitute any old thing for the facts and thing you can get away with it. The problem is, you don't know what you're talking about. I'd love to see your comments refereed by a competent demographer. It would be good for laughs. |

No George, I wholeheartedly agree. You substitute any old thing for the facts and thing you can get away with it. The problem is, you don't know what you're talking about. I'd love to see your comments refereed by a competent demographer. It would be good for laughs. I would to, since you're not one. It would be fun to see how you disagree with him/her. You wish. Wishes what? That you aren't one even though you claim to have an inside line to numbers no one else has? Or wishes you were a demographer and actually knew what you were talking about? The claims posted here that the census is anti-urban are false and you all know it. Is your reading comprehension that bad? Stop being an idiot. Nobody said it was anti-urban. What was said was it undercounts urban areas, which is true. |

Okay, George, if you think 100% data rules the day, then there is one very simple test. Even you can do it. Here is the income distribution for the United States, USING SAMPLE DATA, NOT 100% DATA.

Otherwise, shut up because you don't know anything about statistics. Your lack of knowledge is dangerous. Again, George, a very simple test. Show the chart using 100% data. I used sample data. First, data are not the same as statistics. Statistics are what you apply to a data set to evaluate its probably (i.e. accuracy). You seem ignorant of this basic fact. Secondly, the issue is the total population count is wrong. It is not. You argued that one city or other always was discriminated again. I said, "wrong." I still say wrong. You don't know a thing about data collection. Further, you keep changing the subject.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No George, you keep ignoring facts. If you look at the Census, if you don't understand what it means, then it's useless. ----- So then you feel you can subsitute any old thing you say for facts and get away with it. WRONG.

What was said was it undercounts urban areas, which is true. You are in fact stating that the census is biased on purpose, which is incorrect. Whatever its failings, the error rates are estimated and to say that the undercount is city-based is irresponsible. |
