    “Statistically, my qualifications put me in the top 0.1% of the world population and I do genuinely have no interest in politics or prior knowledge of the US election system.”

    For your enjoyment.

    I think you’re being a bit harsh on Mr casual tyke.

    He has his own version of reality. It might be totally different to just about everyone else’s, but it’s his reality. And he’s got the information to back it up - information provided by the few others who share his reality.

    As they say, ‘when you think you’re arguing with a mad man, so does he.’

    I think you’re being too fair to him.

    Facts exist. Some sources are more reputable than others.

    He keeps quoting Lin Wood.

    I rest my case.

    I don’t know what you mean! He told me he didn’t recall quoting anyone just last night.

    Yes facts exist but there are alternative facts. OK you might call them lies but to casual tyke they're real.

    It's not thereev, it's Trump himself. Only he could make a claim like that with a straight face and it explains why he's so determined he will be President.

    There is currently a world population of approximately 7.8 billion people JamDrop. I can safely say that I feature in the top 7.8 million of those based on qualifications particularly when you strip out the percentage of people living in third world countries without access to education and those who haven't been alive long enough to attain my level of qualification. Fairly simple mathematics dear... unless you struggle with that kind of thing.

    Nobody asked though. You’re the one who weirdly brought it up as if it makes you better than all of us. WUM.

    India has 9 million graduates each year, China 8 million. At a conservative estimate that is 3-400 million graduates in those two countries alone. Are you *sure* you are in the top 7.8 million?

    Japan and South Korea have another 70-80 million graduates, the USA another 40 million or so. Even the UK has 8-10 million. Even poor countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria have 400000+ graduates per year.

    I am qualified considerably beyond degree level and I suspect I have more letters after my name than you have in your full name Scoff.... so yes, I stand by my assertion.

    There’s about 150 million people in the world with a doctorate.

    Oh wise one, please tell us, which letters and qualifications these are? I know you’re dying to tell us.

    And yet you expect us to believe you can’t spot idiocy regarding the most discussed election in the last 50 years.

    OK That makes perfect sense.

    Well, that is certainly a long name. I've only got 17 letters so you win.

    Congratulations.

    Looking very good so far for the dems in Georgia.

    Maybe Biden will actually be able to accomplish something.
