Ford Ranger is number one

[Mighty Mouse]

On the news tonight it was reported that the Ford Ranger is now
Australia's top selling car. So does that mean..

(a) Most Australians are bogans
(b) Most Australian are idiots
(c) Most Australians have more money than sense
(d) All of the above

--
Have a nice day!..

[alvey]

In a nasally monotone, Cyril Pedant of the Sunshine Coast points out,

None of (a), (b) and (c) are correct. The "top selling car" does not
equate to "most".

Should have read something like...

This means that the buyers of Oz's top selling vehicle, (I can't bring
myself to call the hideous behemoths 'cars'), are;

a) Bogans
b) Idiots
c) Have more money than sense
d) Are men with serious insecurity issues
e) Are crap drivers(1)
f) All of the above


alvey
(1) I'd pay to have decent databases of car sales & accident. They must
be out there somewhere (insurance companies for the latter prolly). Why
they're so tightly restricted is a bit of a mystery.

actually no. the correct phraseology is .. "most Australian car buyers
are ".  based on the premise that Ford Ranger drivers are (a) to (f)

Still 'No'. Unless the Ford monstrosities accounted for over 50% of
sales then "most Australian car buyers" did *not* buy the fugly blots on
the landscape.

it sold more than any other make so most car buyers bought it. consider
for example

45% of tv buyers bought a Samsung tv
30% bought LG
25% bought Hisense

therefore most TV buyers bought a Samsung TV

Well, that's because they are not cars. Proof of that; cars are tolled
at a personal vehicle rate whereas utes, vans and the like are tolled at
*commercial vehicle rates*. Rangers are commercial vehicles to enable
*real working people* to make a living from them. The rest, well they
just use them as *penis extensions* (covered below under serious
insecurity issues).

Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus all seem to be in competition to make a car
fuglier than the average ute.

Bullshit.

Are you sure that English is not your second language? "Most people"
implies a majority of people, and on the maths that I was taught 45% is
not a majority. All that you can say from your example is that more
people bought Samsung than either of the other two.

[Mighty Mouse]

yes

yes, so of all the ppl who bought a TV, most bought a Samsung. so easy
to just say most bought a Samsung. likewise of all those who bought a
car, most bought a Ranger.

And they're all very successful at that.

It was the single best selling individual model, but it was *not* the
best selling make. Toyota always wins that contest simply by way of
Toyota having more models on the market than anyone else.

Indeed. In his example, 55%, or "most people" bought something *other*
than a Samsung TV.

I don't know why you bother with this lunatic, as he has clearly
demonstrated his idiocy enough now that if Helen Keller were still alive
even she could see it.

Even Helen Keller would have been able to *see through* your *lies*.

[Keithr0]

God, you're thick, a majority of people did not buy a Samsung, only a
minority did, therefor most people did NOT buy a Samsung.

If you can't understand that then I'm sorry, but I'm not here to teach
English, maths and elementary logic.

shutup dingbat. you couldn't even pass year nine

i run rings around you in any debate, which is why you hide from me in
coward castle

[Mighty Mouse]

so by your reasoning.. a minority (of purchasers) bought a Samsung. and
a minority bought an LG. and a minority bought a Hisense. so there was
no majority of purchasers? but how can that be. UNLESS you say the
majority bought a Samsung, which they did. so most purchasers bought a
Samsung. or if you want to be entirely correct you would say.. "when
buying a TV more purchasers buy a Samsung than any other brand". but in
general conversation one would just say "the brand most ppl buy is
Samsung". or simply "most ppl buy Samsung".

If you can't understand that then I'm sorry for you, but I'm happy to
try to teach you English, maths and elementary logic

but this may help..

majority

noun
1. the greater number.

Over an out.

Now you're getting deceitful.

The iPhone is a brand of phone (Apple)
Android is a phone OS

You're hard at work at your projection, eh?

You are definitely mental, you keep on proving it day after day with all
your lies, bullshit and bluster.

Hahahahaha!

Wow! *Three* stupidities in one line!

1. Amongst other disciplines, you are not qualified to assess mental
health. As far from it as Bumhole (Vic) is from picturesque in fact.

2. You have referenced the disorder in a hopelessly inappropriate way.

3. You can't even spell it!

[Xeno]

His last sentence is a real kicker. Tries to use big words in a
sentence, pity he has no clue as to their meaning. Take his use of
"legitimately" as a prime example. So "legitimately mental" means it's
*legal/permissable* to be bipolar? I'm sure all those *diagnosed* with
bipolar disorder will be happy to know they won't be immediately
incarcerated!

Darren, the laugh a minute gift that keeps on giving!
