normally we take statistics
Charles Seife’s forthcoming book Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception lays bare, in remarkable clarity, the many trappings of trusting numbers a bit too much. While people are usually adept at recognizing numbers that are blatantly false, such as “85% of statistics are false or misleading”, more subtle manufactured numbers can have a dramatic effect on public opinion. Seife’s most oft-cited example of this phenomenon is the 205 suspected communists Joe McCarthy claimed were working in the US State Department, effectively sparking the Red Scare. While his list was never released, the unverifiable “205 communists” were enough to make an obscure junior senator from Wisconsin one of the most divisive politicians of the twentieth century.
And you see for your self, there's a hell of a Lot of false statistics out there.
Well, of course there is. What can we do about that?yes - but guess what, there are tons more of unfounded, wrong, opinions on the internet
start by disregarding any without logic/proof/reputation/etc.Well, of course there is. What can we do about that?

Holy crap a week ? It was Just a day and "now the day is over"!WEEEK!!
So if I join the military and don't leave the country I'm not supporting war?
that's a problem with the government - it's not perfect (in this case some governments like that of the U.S. I wouldn't even consider "good"), but that doesn't have much to do with the army
Your point being?a deterrent is only useful if it will actually be used if/when it needs to be
pretty sure that it's illegal to discriminate against customers.. and it's not exactly a smart move to piss off the army/military in most countries - not to mention lots of industries depend on them
And you see for your self, there's a hell of a Lot of false statistics out there.
Nah I don't agree! If a statistic doesn't represent real events etc... it's not a real statistic! So "Most of Statistics" are Just Lies.But they very seldom lie.

Whenever you read a news article about official government employment statistics, remember one thing: It's almost certainly wrong. This isn't because the reporter messed up but because the more accurate numbers won't come out for weeks or months. Nonetheless, the markets always move in response to these reports. Here's what you need to know so you don't make the mistake the markets do.
In the report released last week, the Labor Department said applications for jobless benefits in the week ended March 31 decreased 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 357,000. The headlines rang out telling us this was the lowest level in nearly four years and U.S. stocks got a very a brief boost. This was the second week in a row that jobless claims were reported to have hit a post-crisis low. Certainly that seems like a good trend.
However, if history is any guide we will soon find out that the number is actually worse. For the past 57 weeks the Labor Department has revised its weekly initial jobless-claims number up the following week, according to a Dow Jones study.
For example, when the March 31 jobless claim figures were released, so was a revision to the March 24 numbers. Initial jobless claims went up to 363,000 from 359,000. The Dow Jones study found that four times in the past year, what was first reported as drop in claims became an increase after an upward revision a week later.
