What type of fallacy is this?
I have been seeing people make claims that there exists a cure for cancer because the cancer is a 98.5 billion $ industry. What bothers me about this is pretty obvious, they assume they are hiding a cure just because the cancer industry brings in a lot of money. Yet they do not have any proper evidence.

10 AnswersPhilosophy6 years agoDo Arsenal have the most delusional fans in the universe.?
They hold their team in such high regards...yet they actually have very little success to back up their claims of such brilliance. Now if they didn't speak so highly of themselves then I wouldn't be saying this as their occasional silverware would give them the reputation of a decent team. However they view themselves as top ****, and have no real success to classify them as a world class team. No champions league not even a Europa league win. Also some how even with players who may be considered world class they still cant win. Lol remember when Ozil was actually a player you wanted on your team XD

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys7 years agoThoughts on this proposal?
So i have been offered Andrew Luck but in exchange he wants
-Alfred Morris
-Steven Hauschka
I already have Tony Romo as my QB, granted Luck is an improvement over him. However I picked up Newton who will likely be back within the next 2 weeks. Plus if I trade Hauschka I lose my kicker and im forced to either trade for one, or pick one up in free agency. Though on the other hand I could use Romo as trade bait, if I accecpt. Kind of torn, thought?

4 AnswersCurrent Events7 years agoShould Germany have mercy on the USA and play for a draw?
I'm hearing many Americans who are trying to reassure themselves by saying that German will play for a draw, so that way both German and the USA get through (cause lets face it, the odds of the USA beating the German...nearly 0) Anyways do you think German should do this, or go for the win and try to trash the Americans in the process? I think they should try to wipe the floor with the USA, what do you guys think?

2 AnswersFriends7 years agoSo tomjc43 do you still think this?
The question was ``Do you think Marc Andre Fleury is an overrated goalie``?
5 AnswersHockey7 years agoIs Marc Andre Fleury the most overrated goalie in the NHL?
If you look at many of the goals he lets in they are very weak, most other goalies would stop them. A perfect example was Foligno's goal last night in OT. Now this is one example but there are MANY others. Now lets look at his performance, he is so inconsistent, sometimes he plays super well while other nights he is the worst goalie in the league. He has such awful slumps, there is a reason he was not chosen to represent Canada in Sochi, because he is too unreliable.
His numbers are not that impressive either, granted he has 39 wins, but that is because he has a great team in front of him. The offense wins the games in Pits, not the goaltending. Despite this he still let in 150 goals. Now lets compare this to many other starters who played roughly the same amount of games as him (64)
Ben Bishop- 63 starts-133 GA
Tuukka Rask 58 starts-115 GA
Carey Price 59 starts- 134 goals
Sergei Bobrovsky-131
Even Miller who played for Buffalo for a large chunk of the year let in only 4 more than fleury in 59 games. Infact if you look at all starter goalies playing for a team in the playoffs Fleury has conceded the most. The only exception is Miller but he played for Buffalo for most of the year who are not a playoff team.
Also his save% is a low .915, his GAA is very avg at 2.37.
In fact if he played for a bad team, I don't even think he would be a starter. Look at Price for example, plays for the Habs. He is literally have the reason they are in the playoffs. Anyways thoughts?
7 AnswersHockey7 years agoWho is the better goalie, Tuukka Rask or Carey Price?
I would say Carey Price. If you look at the team he has in front of him compared to that of Rask, he is more of an impact player for the habs. Granted Rask's numbers are brilliant, but like I said he has an amazing team in front of him. Though he has won a Stanley Cup...although it was as a backup.

1 AnswerOther - General Health Care7 years agoCan you explain the difference these army branches?
So the US military has many different infantry branches
-Army
-Marines
-Rangers
-Delta Force
-Green beret
(I am assuming those last 2 are special forces, but still what is the difference between them)
Also are the paratroopers still deployed from air at all, or are they no longer used much today?
Also for the special forces, how does one go about joining them? I know for the Navy Seals you have to of already spent time in the military and i believe its invitation only to go to boot camp for the seals. Correct me if i am wrong
...Just curious

3 AnswersHockey7 years agoI am looking to go to Cuba this summer?
Some friends and I are planning on going to Cuba this summer. A few questions for you if you have been.
-What was your experience like?
-I know the food is not great, however was it that bad? And where can you find good food?
-We want to go to a beach resort, somewhere close to Havana, where we could spend a day.(maybe a bus rides worth distance)
-What the cheapest time to go during the summer? COmpared to other places, it is always cheap, however considering we are students we would prefer to go whenever its cheapest, however maybe avoiding August since thats the peak of Hurricane season, and I don't want constant rain.
-Would you recommend going on vacation for a week in CUba? Also if you enjoyed your resort,could i get the name so i can look into it?
1 AnswerCuba7 years agoCan you be refused service at a restaurant for wearing religious symbolism?
Ok so i was thinking of this recently, as we know restaurants have dress codes (now i am talking about any sort of business really, I am just using the example of restaurants for the sake of argument). So for example a restaurant can refuse you service for not wearing a shirt. However if a restaurant has 0 tolerance policy as part of their dress code for religious symbolism could they refuse a jew wearing a Kippa? a christian wearing a crucifix? an indian wearing a turban? etc... Or would this be considered discrimination? On that note what determines what is discrimination and what isn't?
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics7 years agoSo what happened to the Canucks last night?
So i know what happened they lost 9-1, but how? I mean the ducks are a great team, but the canucks are a decent enough team to not get beaten 9-1. even the sabres who have 80 goals this year don't suck so bad.
