Same here. There is no such thing. There are facts, sure, but then things get interpreted and that's when everything gets hairy.

Humans love having the simple two sides. Black and white, right and wrong, etc. Why do you think Christianity caught on? Good v. evil. Doesn't get any easier than that. Unfortunately, the world is as gray as it gets.

easy there, obi wan

Well, not exactly. Her immune system is attacking her spine, which is manifesting itself as GI, vision, and nerve issues.

This is the first time we're trying to treat it, as opposed to controlling symptoms.

She also found out she's Celiac positive in the last couple months, so laying off the gluten is helping to.

Thoughts and prayers for her, and you!!

you forgot DAMNOCRAT vs MUREBUBLICANS

Without delving into this too deep:

Yes, the best way to analyze the game is to watch it as well as delve into some of the "advanced" stats. If you want to do that, it's fine (although I've found that most advanced stats just confirm the eye test, but I digress).

However, when some people (as in one whose username rhymes with "Chomahawk") comes in with a new set of advanced stats clubbing the same player every single day, and then engages in a pissing match with someone who disregards most advanced stats (as in one whose username rhymes with MJSmell), then it's just both parties refusing to give an inch and acknowledge any validity of the other side and you get this daily pissing match. And the cycle continues...

We all do it, it isn't right to single out anyone. While I might be considered a trouble maker, I get as much as I give. Heck, Peanut_Nutter or whatever gets on my case for simply liking certain players, most notably Lecavalier. He gets on me to a point where he looks for ways to get me banned from the site. I haven't done anything to him to start it, I just started pushing back. It's all ego and we have it.

We're all just here to discuss the facts.
And then put those facts into context, thereby invalidating the absolutism of said facts.
Yet standing by our irrefutable facts.

The trouble is, stats and eye test can co-exist and should. Creationism and evolution can't really.

Okay.

But no, really, my point was that day in and day out, it's the same 2 people waving their willies around trying to prove whose side is 100% right and whose side is 100% wrong. A little change up would be nice once in a while.

at the hands of James Earl Jones?

(pre-emptive: yes I know he's just the voice stfu)

...advanced stats say that the game is overwhelmingly being played in the Flyers end when Grossmann is on the ice despite seeing balanced zone starts and middle of the road quality of competition..
- PhillySportsGuy

Yet the Flyers let in the least amount of goals (5 v 5) against when Grossmann is on the ice. Maybe (likely) something he's doing out there isn't being accounted for in the stats being used.

The trouble is, stats and eye test can co-exist and should. Creationism and evolution can't really.

That's because they're not trying hard enough.

Or maybe God evolved as an all-knowing being made of star dust from the big bang???

HUH!?!? HUH!?!?

H2O's Don't Forget Your Roots is a fantastic album.

That's the kind of quitting I'd expect from an advanced stats believing evolutionist.
