Math for Dummies

Report: Number of gay linguists discharged higher than thought

I wonder what their elementary school math teachers think when they say they've discharged seven arab linguists for being gay when it's really been twenty (plus six Farsi speakers). I know counting is hard, my four year old is just now working out the idiosyncrasies of numbers above twenty herself.

The saddest thing is, here we are entrenched in a nasty war in an Arab nation, and our military feels it's more important to get rid of a few sodomists than it is to be able to communicate with the people they're invading.

There really is a sort of Big Brother problem with your post. First, the bushies in office will say- they said MORE then 7, and 20 is more then 7. Two, they will point out that the other 14 were fired for OTHER reasons then them being gay( was about to use a gay slur in jest but edited myself for evan's sake).

However the REAL difference of thinking arises with the desire to communicate with the arabians now under U.S. control.
Yes we want information from them BUT....

BUT those godless commies should learn ENGLISH. That's they're problem is that they don't believe in Jesus, Mom or Apple pie. Once we yell at them LOUDLY and SLOWLY, they will understand english- and we need to beat them early and often, because they obviously understand us but are merely PRENTENDING that they don't.

So actually, I think the problem is not THEIR math skills but that you and Aeia simply don't grasp their reality... I mean I don't think Aeia could grasp the philosophical underpinnings of their (holy) war.
