One Post's Electoral College
-
FYI, OSU students did protest the results of the election and the school did offer post election counseling.

So I take it that "highest math level" thing didn't work out lol
what thing was that? you're like a damn woman you think everything has some hidden agenda.

There was some asshole who doesn't even go to OSU who was giving a gay 'protest' speech at the union. He got tackled. I don't have time for the union. Oh and there were a few dozen students gathered in the oval one day. Other than that there wasn't any special counseling sessions so I don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Not a specific event, but election counseling services have been mentioned. There might be more, this is just the first thing I found

Oh, right, people just normally ask what someone's highest level of math is while in an argument with them... Nothing else meant by it...

There's not more. Of course it was mentioned. But they even said they are offering support to those from both ends of the political spectrum.
If I were trying to one-up him on math I could have just made something up about my math education. During a discussion with someone it always helps to know their authority on the subject.

Just calculus three for me. Do you think that maybe the environment at UK universities is different than here in the US? I don't know. But trust me there are lots of coddled whiney wimps who are getting catered to by college administrators.

I'm not sure what that is - third-year calculus? Either way interesting stuff.
I'm not sure how different things are but I suspect it's largely similar among students and universities with a more academic bent. As for basket weavers, I don't really know too many over here, let alone there, so can't really comment.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but "winning" 1+million votes down from the loser is NOT democracy.
From Merriam-Webster:
Full Definition of democracy
plural
democracies
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority
Hmmm. Rule of the majority. How confusing this presidential election has become. It has a very warped sense of one person, one vote and does not meet the definition of "democracy".

Calc III is Multivariable Calculus.

Oh ok. So, the useful stuff.

Well both of those things you said didn't exist at OSU, do. Just saying
"Authority on the subject"? What? Thus started with a 5000x0=0 joke. What "authority" on math do you need there?
Can you just admit you were trying some "gotcha" type "I know more math" type thing before you realized Chris actually went to one of the best universities in the world with a math related degree? It looks like that shit blew up in your face and you're trying to walk it back.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”Our Constitution created a limited representative republic. A republic is different from a democracy. In a democracy, the majority can directly make laws, while in a republic, elected representatives make laws. Basically, in a pure democracy, the majority has unlimited power, whereas in a republic, a written constitution limits the majority and provides safeguards for the individual and minorities.
In the United States, we actually have both systems. There is no way for Americans to directly enact legislation at the national level, but half of the states allow ballot initiatives which, if passed by a majority of the voters, have the force of law.
The Founders’ intent at the national level was a representative republic. The word democracy is not mentioned in the Constitution. Most of the Founders distrusted pure democracy.

If we had a true democracy, we would vote on every law and politician by popular vote. And California and New York would dictate to the rest of the country what to do. You can keep true democracy.

No doubt if the shoe was on the other foot I wouldn't be too happy winning the popular vote and still losing an election but I see the genius of the founders of this country and what they were trying to do in setting the country to be a republic and not a true democracy.Even if I were on the losing side of the issue I would not want to change our form of government.

Presiden-elect Trump disagrees, btw.

Well once you get above 1172 at OSU the math is more specialized. Technically it's math topics for engineers but it's really just specialized calculus 3.

Yeah I don't doubt. For me in my final year I took the 'interesting' courses - abstract theoretical stuff - and some 'useful' courses, like decision maths, financial principles etc. whereas the two years leading up to it had been more general, things like real/complex variable theory, symmetry and groups, linear algebra, blah-de-blah.
Then masters was some finance stuff, so pretty trival maths, but also stochastic calculus, more advanced stats (I hate stats), numerical methods for estimating a solution to an insoluble SDE etc. that kind of thing.
