Geminis actually are the worst drivers. Statistically they had the greatest number of accidents according to insurance companies, pisces was 2nd worst. Trusty old capricorn had the best records!-I'm sure you can find the article if you google it. http://www.bemyastrologer.com/drivers.html IP: Logged |

I think thats a harsh rashionlization, why i can say that all areis girl are statisticly crminals. Not all of them are but just the way you rashionlized gem drivers i can say the same about aries girls. Yes i've seen some horrible gem drivers and i've seen some okay gem drivers as well. My best freinds sister is a gem and i just laught at the fact she has trouble backing up her car, can't park it in her garage. but i'm nowhere like that, i'm more aggresvie thought, but i'm not like that and no i'havent been in accident. and its funny because why sister is a capricorn and according to that survey she is suppose to be the best driver,ya right truth is she's at the point where she hates driving, she's been in there accidents and is uninsurable according to the insurance company.

Statistically geminis are the worst drivers, that doesn't mean that some geminis aren't great drivers, it just means that overall they have more accidents. Its just like saying that americans are the fattest country, but not every american is fat. Its not a generalization, its merely a statistics. I do know good gemini drivers and bad cap drivers, you're right!IP: Logged |

BR, I've just about had it with your rant!!! Your irrational frustrations and personal grievances with whatever May/June born people is just too evident.
Get yourself some treatment or shut the f*ck up already

I'm not being irrational. I'm just making a statistical claim. Theres nothing more rational than statistics. Its just fact, statistically geminis have the worst driving record, and caps/scorps, have the best driving records. This doesn't mean anything personal about you, in fact you could be an excellent driver, it just means that when you add up ALL the geminis in the country, they have the worst driving records.Please don't curse at me, its not very kind. You're only reinforcing the stereotype of your sign as rash and snappy. IP: Logged |

"Statisticaly" you are wrong!!! Go to widgetsworld and see their statistical quiz - They state Pisces as the worst driver in most categories and Leos as the most likely ones to die in car accidents.
As for statistics being the most "reliable" measure - please don't teach me about those. I've been dealing with them forever and know exactly how "reliable" they are.
You've got a lot to learn (and not only about astrology) but clearly you prefer to remain stuck in your prejudice.
Whatever.

huh.my dad is a cappy and he used to race cars. i'm sure it's statistically like 3% of all cappies who do that.  i don't know. i didn't look at that site yet. i'm going there next. but, he is the best, and safest driver i have ever been in a car with. now my aries uncle and aries cousin have seriously scared me in a car. not because they drive bad, just way, way, too fast and don't use turn signals, ect.

BR, I take offense at your post. Let's see if you find this Gemini's post concise enough for you:You are entitled to your own opinion, but do not proclaim to know me simply because of my sign. IP: Logged |

Gemini drivers can't be all that bad...anyone remember my thread from awhile ago? I know this is only a partial list of racers, but still need to look at (scroll down a bit). Geminis were of one of the highest numbers out of that list, they could not have been that bad. Plus someone could look at areas and say one area has worse drivers than another area, nothing to do with signs.Don't get me started with the inaccuracy of stats. IP: Logged |

Well, how bout this stat (btw, I have Gunther Sachs' Statistical Astrology book at home that I WILL dig out now--Geminis were way at the bottom of the list of bad drivers!)Here MY family stats: Hubby Cappy: 3 car accidents (own fault), 1 totaled car, 16 years driving ca. 15t KM/year. Me Gemini: 0 own fault car accidents, once rear ended from someone looking back at her kids whilst driving forward, 13 years driving ca. 25t KM/year. My husband is an AWFUL driver. Our new shiney car has 7!!!! dents/scrapes/dings from him in these last 11 months. My 7 year old car has 2 scratches. I parked 3 years on a busy tiny side street in Cologne (major city with major parking insufficiency!), Hubby has a parking garage spot extra for his car. A big spot. In a locked and secure access garage. How you like them apples! Nackie IP: Logged |

guten tag, Nackie!i didn't realize you were from germany until i read that you lived in Cologne. (i never look at people's profile stuff). my sis lives there.
she hates it this time of year though because she say it rains everyday and gets dark so early that she gets depressed.
she's moved around some. i don't think she ever lived in Cologne, but i know she visited there alot. she lives in Heidleberg right now. i was just wondering about the book you said you had, Gunther Sach's Statistical Astrology. what all does it have in it? it sounds really cool. is it just lists of random things? just wondering. i love books like that with random facts about astrology.

Statistics are often accurate when its not self report, and just because your husband is a bad driver doesn't throw the whole statistic off. Hey maybe its just that geminis drive the most, and capricorns drive the least, this doenst' mean geminis are the worst drivers, it just means what it sais, geminis have the worst RECORDS, that could be caused by a lot of things. Also its probably not even statistically significant, astrological studies almost never are, if they were mainstream science woudl have picked it up by now.And why is telling people to go to therapy the favorite insult of people who are in therapy/on medication?

Oops I made a mistake! I guess I am stupid. Could you direct me to some statistically significant astro studies, i'm so interested! I often fantasize about experimental methods in astrology, but how the hell would one modify the independent variable when its the stars? IP: Logged |

sigh A: Statistically, Gemini's are the worst drivers. B: I don't agree with that statistic. What is your source? C: I don't trust statistics; the margin of error is too great. No name-calling, no character judgements, no editing posts, no offensive personal attacks...............no fun, right? IP: Logged |

I'm not "in therapy/on medication" but if you read back all your posts y'll see how obsessed you sound with this whole Gemini idea and obsessed people clearly need treatment.
You're antagonizing and I have no idea if you're doing it on purpose or if it's just "being you" but here's a hypothesis that might turn out to be "statistically significant" if people were asked about it here - You're a PIA!

*cracks whip*BlueRoamer, stop talking out of your ass. Pick a point and stick with it.. don't make a point, back out, reword it, and then defend it after you established it held no merit. You're like
"This such and such is really bad because of such and such."
Others say
"That was rude of you to say, and it has little truth."
You say "Such and such is so because of this and that, and you smell."
Others get their backs up and hair raised
You say "Yeah, I didn't mean it at all. That's my sense of humour.. funny, ain't it? Acually, such and such is my favourite type of thing."
Others say..."Oh, well, okay, but that was rude."
You say" Such and such is really like this.. crappier than before."
Pick something and stick with it, before we think you are a lunatic.

Aww Pixie, but i know ya love me. This is interesting, it appears more libras are home run champs, and the least are geminis. Probably because geminis have no follow through, hahah, get it?
http://baseballguru.com/jholway/analysisjholway03.html If you google "geminis are the worst driver, or "pisces are the worst driver," you will come up with a multitude of blurbs showing gemini to be the worst, I'm sorry I just have to make that clear. IP: Logged |
