[QUOTE="mfacek"]Your argument wasn't about what a "majority" is but whether you group whites as one group and non-whites as another. If you look at it by specific race, then yes, whites are the majority. If you look at is as whites as opposed to non-whites as you obviously do, it's not a majority. There's no use in arguing semantics.Famiking

A group holding the most members but not over half would be a "plurality".

EDIT:

Went back AGAIN and have found that a group holding the most members but not being over half CAN in fact be called a majority.

Making friends happens naturally. You dont just go up to people and ask them.

Some people don't understand what a "majority" is.

I got into a flame war about this in another topic awhile ago. In the topic, a user made the statement that Off-Topic is mostly made up of white people. I mentioned that I recently made a poll titled "What is your race?". At the time, whites were around 44% of the respondents of the poll while blacks, Asians, people of mixed-race, and other groups combined were the majority at 56% of the respondents. At the time, there were 34 respondents; of which 15 reported "white" as their race. Half of 30 is 15 but 15 is less than half of 34. 17 is half of 34. According to the definition of "majority" in the link, it means over half; meaning over 50%. The user kept arguing that whites were the majority at 44%. The percentage "44%" is not a majority. In addition, another user mentioned that 34 people isn't well enough to represent everyone in Off-Topic. I'm well aware of that. But then again, how could the other user prove Off-Topic is mostly made up of whites? And then near the end he said that I failed on many levels. I tried to apologize to him. He said it was too late. I said "good riddance". What a worthless waste of time. A majority means over half or over 50%. Apparently, that user will never understand what a majority is.

Also, if you feel like flaming me, don't post in this topic. I'm not going to waste my time like I did in the other topic.

I'm just telling everyone the definition of the word "majority" along with a little story with it.

It's much easier to meet friends if your with a friend yourself.

Though I've never met anyone at a pool...I would recommend crashing a party if your adament on meeting new people. The atmosphere at parties makes it impossible not to meet someone.

Superlatives aren't always necessary. I think we can get away with calling them both extremely important.

List A. List B is ruined by T-Pain and Flo Rida.

List A although Kanye West, Nas, and Dr. Dre are amazing in their own right.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] Salads I have already said are often times are just as bad if not worse to those places.. Where there have been studies where a salad can easily exceed 1000 calories there.. When you are in that state of morbid obesity, peopel who actually come back from that.. Are put on a STRICT diet of foods that are cooked themselves.. And put on a excising regime.. When I see a person this wieght at a fast food resturante on a scooter incapable of even walking in.. I see some one who clearly is not doing that.sSubZerOo

If we are making assumption how do we even know she is ordering for herself. Honestly I don't see a bag or her talk over the voicebox.

They are all important, even the ones no one talks about.

Don't shame the soldiers in the little wars just because they don't get media buzz, like the US-Filipine war in about 1905.

Oh wait, there was a US military conflict in the Filipines in about 1905? Yeah, sad you never hear about it.

I think that both World War 2 and the Civil War profoundly changed America. I can't really distinguish which is more "important".
