>>7702177
Well that's what they do within their board.
I can tell you of the case of Factual Falcon. Pic related. There was a time /pol/ started to create very polite comics labelled the Adventures of the Factual Falcon, spamming those on reddit and tumblr. They'd have tons of articles and studies supporting /pol/ grade views. Eventually Factual Falcon comics were banned.

/s4s/

They are so retarded that they deluded themselves into believing that acting retarded makes them appear witty.

>>7702189

/sci/

>>7702177
Another sample of Factual Falcon sample.
As someone who bronswes /pol/, I admit it's quite common for us to say among ourselves those memes but that's because we take it for granted it's so obvious that X is wrong.

For instance, you might criticize our behaviour on the issue with India, but it is a fact that India is the greatest country in terms of public defecation (1), is among the lowest GDP per capitas of the industrialized nations (2), has very low HDI (3) and Gini (4) indicators, has a life expectancy similar to many sub-Saharian African countries (5), has bad infrastructure (6), precarial health systems (7) and most graduated Indians emigrate from the country because it has poor opportunities (8).


So when someone talks about India being a first world nation, we just reply "poo in the loo" in reference to the UN campaing against public defecation in India (9) because it can tiresome to argue with people who deny statistics.

>all those retarded butthurt british "facts" about India
>remotely legitimate

the poo in the loo bullshit is an overblown meme, compared to south american and asian shitholes, India is surprisingly advanced, especially in the last 10 years, things have become pretty good and are just getting better. They are investing something like 1.5 trillion dollars in infrastructure building and manufacturing, arguably the most ignored areas in that country.

It's now the country has the money and expertise to build, build and build for the next decade to improve the general living standards.

Compared to 12% education and one of the poorest countries in 1950s when India got independence from le white man, it has come pretty far.

Infrastructure and research and development is something they gotta focus on this decade to normalize and spread the wealth among the population

ayy lmao

Nobody is arguing that India has no public defecation problem. Developing countries are not developed, this is unremarkable to anyone with two brain cells and some string between them. You don't need sources to prove this, you need sources to conflate this factual point with other nonfactual assertions.

>>7702210
where did you pull that pic from? your ass?

the census beareu of India puts the literacy at 70% according to 2011 stats, the latest one available.

>>7702244
>the poo in the loo bullshit is an overblown meme, compared to south american and asian shitholes

No, it is not. This map shows how India scores far better than Latin American and South East asian nations in terms of public defecation.

And the fact you call statistics "a British bullshit meme" won't make them any less true, even if they go against your feelings. ;^)

Read the research articles themselves. Everything you linked was written by a journalist who at best (if you're lucky) asked the author some questions to get a general gist. In the worst case scenario it's just one journalist reporting on what another journalist reported on (literally no different from of you were to go write an article on the research after only having read these news articles, much like that pleb "factual falcon" does).

Often times these journalists will stretch the conclusion or even reach an entirely incorrect conclusion because of their poor understanding of the science.

At one point, the anon at >>7702177

I don't think ad hominem and strawman arguments can enrich a discussion.

>>7702253
India also has a high rural population you retard, plus how was the data collected for a billion people?

surveying some shithole village and calling it a fact of India is hardly a reliable statistic.

Where are the studies? where are the methods?

Most of these bullshit stats are pooped out by british organisations every second year maybe because they are butthurt about all the empire thingy.

It's not the first time it has happened it won't be last.

>>7702238

You basically said the same thing, fellow /sci/tizen.

Regardless, the facts are collected trough survey performed by India's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI),The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation came into existence as an Independent Ministry on 15.10.1999 after the merger of the Department of Statistics and the Department of Programme Implementation. The Ministry has two wings, one relating to Statistics and the other Programme Implementation. The Statistics Wing called the National Statistical Office(NSO) consists of the Central Statistical Office (CSO), the Computer Centre and the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO). The Programme Implementation Wing has three Divisions, namely, (i) Twenty Point Programme (ii) Infrastructure Monitoring and Project Monitoring and (iii) Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme. Besides these two wings, there is National Statistical Commission created through a Resolution of Government of India (MOSPI) and one autonomous Institute, viz., Indian Statistical Institute declared as an institute of National importance by an Act of Parliament.

Here's the link to the official website:
http://mospi.nic.in/Mospi_New/site/home.aspx

I would guess the World Bank and some other organizations also help them with that.

Happy?

>>7702255
this desu, one retard publishes some bullshit report, everyone quotes him and then it somehow becomes a universal fact.

No sources, no methods, no idea of how the study was conducted. A circulatory circular that's passed around as some revealation.

Can you please explain what you're trying to prove by showing everytime more your illogical views? If at least you posted links and sources to validate your claims India is anyhow not worthy of the poo in the loo meme, but no, you will just deny data instead.

This whole thread is pretty incredible. It definitely proves that /sci/ doesn't belong anywhere near the list of smartest boards.

Where is the fucking data? what methods were used to collect the data? what was the sample size? was it done in village or cities? was it done in poor states or richer states?

which clearly states that the effective literacy rate in India as of 2011, is ~70% for males and 60 for females. The retarded pic you attached is nowhere to be found and the pic you provided has a trademark of 2006, a full five years befoe the census report was even out.


this is why you shouldn't bullshit by citing false info for your racial propaganda you faggot

>>7702292
I answered your question on the same post you replied to. If you actually were engaged in the discussion and willing to challenge your own views as to change the stereotype of stormfag /pol/ack you have in the back of your mind, you'd have checked the link I posted and would have seen India collects its data following the same parameters pre-estipulated by the European Union, as shown here: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-CC-03-005-EN.pdf

This is a 150 page long document that specifies how demographical data is to be collected. In a nutshell, it says a given government is to collect as much data from as many different places possible, going from house to house with a given number of fiscals, the whole process being able to last up from 4 months to 2 years depending on the country.

>>7702261
>implied the poo in the loo meme is invalid. I argued it is because India is a shithole due to the reasons provided in >>7702210

I said the meme is overblown, I didn't say India is perfect, but the bullshit spewed by poltards for their self congratulatory circle jerk over exaggerates India's issues by cherrypicking some bullshit ngo/journalist or whatever "study" and then runs around with it as if it's the ultimate truth ever revealed.

I asked how was this poo in loo meme being spouted? how was this so-called study done? how many people were interviewed? where was it done (village or cities)? was it extrapolated after interviewing some 10 retarded villagers from some shithole in remote India?

And here you are still whining about how your biased bullshit is the gospel's truth and I should blindly believe it because you cited some link.

well congratulations faggot, you have learned how to post a link, that's all your links prove, nothing else.

>>7702295
I think you're having trouble with map interpretation. To start with, 70% is nowhere a good figure.

Second, here's a simpler source. It will be easier to interpret and compare to other countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_literacy_rate

Here it is clear how the world average for literacy is 80% and India's is 70%, lower than the literacy rate of Ghana, Honduras, Iraq, Laos and Vanuatu islands, just to name a few.

You can click the arrows to adjust the list according to overall population, percentage population, alphabetic order and so on. :^)

nice goal post shift faggot... so you were bullshitting with the previous image and saying it was taken from a govt. link. The criteria for literacy in India are different than some african shithole.. go figure :^)

not only are poltards retarded, they are shit at baiting too apparently.

>muh wikipedia article

I thought you were more into govt. sources? Either way, 70% from 50% a decade ago is a fairly good jump, plus at a billion people that's about 700 million educated people, not a bad figure at all compared to some 20 million at most from the other african countries.

from poo in loo to edumacation to how India is below average... wew lad you sure showed me.

So we are back to where we started from India is backward but not nearly as much as poltards would like to portray it to be.

And that's why no one takes you cartoons seriously. Next time, hold on to a single topic, do more than just skimming through some shitty british pop news website and do some background research before you come here spouting your bullshit.

News networks like the BBC are especially bad at interpreting science. It's obvious you've never done any scientific research or you would've known that. Seriously, only retards think "the news" is a good place to get your science.

>India's ministry of statistics
you actually posted census, ministry of statistics is a different website altogether. Learn to google first then be edgy

To be fair there are pretty well read anons in /pol/ and they do have a strict value for sources. That a lot of memers and 12 year olds browse it could say the same about sci and lit.

>>7702371
Calm down friend. I've been kind so far.
I think you might have missed me mentioning the Ministry of Statistics.

your delusionals aren't facts stormfront sweetie :)

If you want facts on India and want to cite Indian govt to sound more relevant use this :

https://data.gov.in/

It has monthly or yearly data on almost anything you can think of. Number of alcoholics, no. of students, no. of nukes and so on..

read, learn, evaluate and then come here to spout your bullshit.

And yeah, you are way too obsessed with the shitting habits of a country halfway across the world, you might want to see a psychiatrist, before you see an eye doctor and an neurologist to figure out what's wrong with your tiny brain

>You consider social darwinist randposters smart?

I realize a lot of people on /biz/ are pessimistic as fuck. But, that's a lot of 4chan. Now, on /biz/, the culture there isn't too significantly different from any other board where more serious discussion take place (ironic, right?). Now, I'm talking about posting-style and the overall substance. In /biz/, yes, there's social darwinism being paraded around like a half-clothed proud gay and independent black man in a parade. But, hear me out. There have been solid posters on the board. In addition, they've offered some decent content and advice. There are real successful entrepreneurs that lurk there , however, a lot of the good posters have stopped posting as much which has led to a decline in the overall board itself as it has become a circlejerk in its existence. But, during certain times of the day at certain times of the year, good material does come out of it. There's been some really informative advice about investing and how to get some money off the ground when you don't have any. Of course, most of the time you get a lot of shitposting on the board that deals with something like, "How do I get rich quick?" or, "Just inherited x amount of money from my parents, what do?" Now, we can't let this whole shitposting image devalue the whole board itself and make it seem like /biz/ is void of all good material and shouldn't be acknowledged.

Are you for real? It's a containment board for self-important retards.

it's a tie between /pol/, /x/, and /r9k/ in my opinion

/pol/ can't keep to their containment board no matter how often they're asked to leave, /r9k/ is half sociopaths, half autistic people, and 100% mental illness general. /x/ is, well, /x/. enough said.

i skimmed the thread and saw an annoyed /pol/poster attempting to argue for their board's intelligence and getting soundly trolled, well done lads

fa obviously. they spend all their time picking out meme cloths + taking pics of their hair. also they think being 6'5" 100lbs is normal. most of them literally have psychological probs. if there was ever a worldwide disaster and everybody had to survive on their own, they would be the first to die off or be killed off.

/r9k/ is generally a pretty intelligent board in terms of academics and being inventive/imaginative

But they have 0% common sense and awareness. This combination is what makes the board hilarious.

>>7702435
>really hard math
majority of this board would probably have a hard time taking a high school algebra test

>/pol/ gives tens of sources, including CIA, UN, various ministries and governmental organisations

/pol/ is actually genius if you view it as satire, I go on there to shitpost all the time, it's really easy to get them riled up over nothing and it's a welcome break from the shit on this board

and yes I'm Canadian.

/biz/ is actually not that bad from what I remember of it, sure there's lots of buttcoin threads (cryptocurrencies are actually legitimately interesting, though, both as financial instruments and as interesting pieces of applied mathematics) but there's obviously some solid people over there as well.

/pol/ is just straight up garbage for anything but shitposting. They're so fucking easy to troll man and they think anyone who questions the merit of neo-reactionary thinking is a "SJW tumblr reddit kuk". It's really pathetic how they think they aren't an echo chamber.

/pol/ thinks the US is headed to another civil war. So I'd go with them.

>>7704713

>>7702105
I'd say sci
We think having a board dubbed science and math makes us viable to judge other boards when in fact it is still on 4chan.

You guys forgot /soc/ and their dick length threads.
Anyway, I don't think /sci/ is the smartest board. It is flooded with homework threads, /x/tards and /pol/locks with their stupid facts. The threads are ok if they are about pure science/math. But when it's involved alyum or global warming, it's fucking shit.

I think /ic/, /diy/ or /po/ are the smartest board because they are actually doing stuffs. Threads are pretty civil too.

/fit/

Most people there believe getting fit is actually harder than getting rich.

>>7702105
A few of the porn boards have the most focused and meaningful discussion. They represent the peak of intellectual exchange on 4chan.

/s/, /h/, and /e/ come to mind most quickly.

/a/, /mu/, /v/, /b/, and above all, /g/, have the most profound clustering of dim witted and myopic individuals. They represent 4chan's utmost stupidity, and the lowest dips in its overall spread of intellect. /sci/ is in the middle and slightly on the higher end.

/diy/ is probably the most genuine and clever board. /ck/ is okay as well.

I don't really get why /pol/ is mentioned. Sure it's not /new/, but between the shitposting is a plethora of evidence supporting many of the controversial views.

You can't exactly call their arguments stupid when they're providing official government statistics.

>>7702105
Well I am smart so any board which I perceive to disagree with my opinions, which are correct.

/pol/

/b/ is dumb as sure, but most people actually believe in the stupid shit posted there.

People on /pol/ actually believe and will try to prove shit about eugenics and race mixing based on long disproven evidence.

>>7705211
/sci/ hates /pol/ because most of /sci/ has had a full western cultural marxist eduaction.

It's quite apparent that /sci/ has not the stomach to question authority when they can't bring themselves to face the fact that modern day science has become a joke.

>>7702128
>Pokemon
>somehow worse than /d/, /pol/ and /x/

>>7705269
Why does everyone hate /x/ so much?

>>7705272
>why doesn't the science board just accept the paranormal board
It's just one of those unsolvable mysteries m8

>>7705276
Hasn't a large bulk of scientific history and advancement been about trying to understand unexplained phenomena and/or trying to accomplish things that are considered crazy beforehand?

It's between /pol/ and /v/ for me, at least with /x/ I tell myself they are just pretending.

That is really funny because I remember /biz/ saying /sci/ was the dumbest board full of psudo-intellectuals/high schoolers and that /diy/ was the smartest board.

Honestly tho, /pol/ isn't that retarded. They make great satire and that requires some sort of intelligence.

>>7705372

Pic related, and I'd argue that /pol/ is mostly people of the latter type.

What is it exactly that /pol/ does that people find so dumb? Is it just that they come to different opinions then you?

>>7702217
Ah, false flags. The bread and butter of /pol/ posters.

>>7702132
Ignore /sci/, /biz/ is a clever board ive gotten good business advice on there. It is jut that /sci/ is narrow minded enough to believe that everything which isnt wageslavery is retarded

>>7705392
/pol/ is /sci/'s mortal enemy solely because /pol/ knows how to ask questions.

For being a /sci/ board people here really hate when their views and beliefs are challenged.

>>7702105
>Hey /sci/, who's the dumbest board on 4chan?
/sci/
no question

>>7704713
>Come to /pol/ and get desensitized to racism
No thanks.

>>7702105
The answer is in your question.

>>7705144
>"Generalizing." Yes, that's exceptionally rich coming from you, /pol/tard.
Have you noticed how in most /pol/ arguments that take place in other boards, they post things that they probably had posted against them in a previous argument but reversed, even when it doesn't really make sense?

>>7702277
There's more fluff and distortion than in /sci/, and they sometimes confuse profundity with competent expression of emotion, but it's probably the wittiest board imo
