  • Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

    Net               X
    ------    =    ------
    Gross            100
    
    
    (GrossX) = (Net × 100)
    
    GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
    
    Example;
    
    200             X
    ------    =   -------
    250            100
    
    Step A
    200 × 100 = 20000
    
    Now 250X = 20000
    
    Step B
    20000÷250=80
    
    Therefore X=80
    Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
    

    It’s also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.


  • The statistical inclusion of fascists in the mention of voluntary military recruits absolutely is reality, having spoken with the family I have who are currently serving, who are seeing and speaking with the new recruits coming in to the armed forces. It’s a topic of discussion at family functions. You trying to discredit my point of view by attacking my motivation is a poor but recognized debate tactic. My personal view of the military is not a factor in my original statement anyway. Do try to stay on the point, even of you fail to properly read and understand the statement. I have great respect for the people who serve the country through inclusion in the armed forces, and their willingness to put themselves in the way of harm to provide a better life for the people that are not.

    As for your second argument, the word nazi is not some slur I’m using against a group I don’t like, it’s a very real state of political view that absolutely survives and arguably thrives in many places in the U.S. I may not use the term ‘Neo-Nazi’ to discriminate between past and present, but that doesn’t lessen the justification for the application of that label to those who espouse the same beliefs as historical Nazism. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, being loose in my use of the word Nazi. I am refusing to allow apologists to discourage the use of a term that rightfully brings to mind the full impact of the beliefs held by those to whom the term Nazi applies to. I was taught by my grandfather what a Nazi is and why men of character cannot accept such views to become enshrined in the hearts or heads of those around him.
