    <p>What do you reckon it would be here? 4000 posts is 133 pages, i reckon it would be the same. Someone will be called a nazi waaaaay before that, even if the thread was started about a heart warming and positive topic. </p>

    <p>statsNazi/<br><br>
    that data is a bit biased tho as it doesn't examine context....the phrase "grammar nazi" is pretty common and would get used in long threads, and picked up in that screening, but isn't actually satisfying the Godwin's Law criteria<br><br>

    <p>Yeah, the guy says that in his blog post:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
    <p>Let me start this post by noting that I will not attempt to test <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law'>Godwin’s Law</a>, which states that:</p>
    <pre>
    As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.</pre>
    </blockquote>
    <pre>

    </pre>
    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
    <p> </p>
    <p>The next step would be to implement sophisticated text mining techniques to identify comments which use Nazi analogies in a way as described by Godwin. Unfortunately due to time constraints and the complexity of this problem, I was not able to try for this blog post.</p>

    <p>The comments are great , I see Brazil's leftard workers party has caused their economy to contract for the fourth consecutive quarter.<br><br>
    The twat that wrote the article Tim linked to has some link to Oliver Stone, his history of America docos are so badly biased and dishonest they are almost comedy.</p>

    <p>My favourite comment </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Guardian Text Sans Web', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I admire your work, but you must be new to Weisbrot's writings. The Venezuelan government could be charging around Caracas igniting rogue cats and dogs with kerosene and he would praise it as a bold approach to controlling rabies which the US could learn from, if it weren't such a big bully.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Guardian Text Sans Web', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Washington's relationship with Latin America has historically been poor but in Weisbrot's world anyone who occasionally tries to poke a finger in the eye of Washington gets a pass and any gentle criticism of these countries is nothing but neocolonial imperialism.</p>

    Snigger. That's a nice comeback next time a Prius owner accuses you of being heartless for not wanting to open the nations door to Muslim ferals.

    <p>Prius owners are fucked - the cost of hauling all that lithium around the globe to build a car that is barely electric (and shit) is laughable.</p>

    They want to be seen to making a difference not actually making a difference . There's no way for example that type of person would want a family of refugees living next door but they like thd moral high ground of supporting bringing more of them in . <br><br>

    <p>Cool. I'd love the "quiet ride" feature for the shitbag who loves around the corner from us, and blats his way to work on a dirt bike every morning at 6AM. fluffybunny.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Definite applications for the military where an all-battery bike might be subject to failure due to lack of charge or damage. And if you built it to have a swap in/out battery you could do fuel drops of both petrol and lithium to get them going again.</p>
