A number equal to 1 to anyone who understands math.
Topic should not even be a debate, however, it is understandibly quite hard to accept by some.

1.) All sequential repeating decimals can be expressed as the repeating series divided by a 9 per each digit.
For example, 3/7 = .428571~
Thus, 428571/999999 = .428571~
Therefore, 428571/999999 = 3/7
When we apply this rule to .9~:
9 is the repeating sequence. We put it over an identical number of 9's, which is one 9, thus giving us 9/9, which is 1.
2.) All rational numbers can be expressed as a/b with a and b as integers. .9~ is a rational number. Thusly, it can be expressed as a/b. 9.~'s a/b expression is 1/1. To all those who disagree, I challenge you to find another possible way that .9~ can be expressed as a/b.
3.) For any two numbers, there is an infinite number of other numbers that fit between them.
Example:
1.08, and 1.09.
1.081, 1.0801, 1.08001...
There are no numbers that can fit between .9~ and 1. thus, they must be equal.
Demonstrations:
1.)
Define x as .9~
x = .9~
10x = 9.9~
10x - x = 9
9x = 9
x = 1
Thus, .9~ = x = 1
2.)
1/3 = .3~
1/3 X 3 = 1
.3~ X 3 = .9~
If .3~ and 1/3 are equal, identical operations on them result in an equal product. Thus, .9~ = 1.
ARGUMENTS:
".9~ is not equal to 1, it gets closer to 1 with each 9 added but never reaches it"
Reply: .9~ is a number. This means it has value. The value of .9~ doesn't "get closer" to anything. It is a number, and has value.
"If .9~ equals 1, then doesn't 1.9~ equal 2, 2.9~ equal 3, 3.9~ = 4, and so forth?"
Reply: Yes.
"There is no point at which as certain number of 9's makes .9~ equal 1."
Reply:
Of course there isn't. If there were a point at which a certain number of nines "made" .9~ equal 1, then it would not be .9~ that equaled 1, just the decimal with enough nines to reach that point.
A "certain number of nines" directly contradicts the concept of an infinite string of nines. Approaching the question from this angle is entirely illogical.

Get the .9~mug. When the original poster of a forum thread is ridiculed, harassed, taunted, and humiliated due to the nature of the topic itself within the thread.
Basically, it's reverse trolling. The original poster starts a topic hoping to get shared interests, and instead the responses unanimously disagree with the OP (most likely due to the OP's newb status) regardless of their actual thoughts regarding the topic at hand. The OP then returns to defend his or her position until they are blue in the face and eventually meltdown in pure frustration and go absolutely bat shit bonkers.
OP meltdowns are hilarious.

Did you see that newb post that topic in OT yesterday? The OP meltdown was so intense that the poster actually killed his entire family.

Republicans generally speaking hold a right wing political stance. They believe that the economy should offer as much freedom as possible. They believe that capitalism and the free market are best in their purest, unregulated forms.
Republicans also hold the view that personal choices and personal freedoms should be restricted, in order to hold up a good "morale" for the nation.
This can be seen by issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Republicans generally hold the belief that both of these should be made illegal by the government in order to preserve "morality" and "traditional practices." (The quotes are there, because these things are relative.)
Republicans generally oppose stringent to moderate gun control.
Republicans generally support tradition and belief as opposed to innovation and progression.
Also, they eat babies.

Sean Hannity just interviewed Rush Limbaugh on Fox News. I didn't think so much republicanism could fit in one room.

Get the republicanmug. The ancient philosophy of Epictetus, Seneca the Younger, and Marcus Aurelius, among others. Stoicism focuses on living a virtuous life, and devoting yourself fully to your task at hand, while stressing indifference to the events outside of your control. Stoicism teaches that the quality of life depends entirely on the individual, and that events can only make you persistently depressed or unhappy when you are a faggot.
Stoics experience emotion like any other person, they have just realized that it is a self-harming choice to allow emotions to effect your well-being after the initial emotional reaction has passed.
A Stoic is, in effect, the extreme polar opposite of an emo.

Person 1: I find it amazing how Brian continues to exert amazing effort in his career, keep a polite demeanor around others, and continue to ritually hit the gym every morning even though his wife died last month.
Person 2: Brian practices Stoicism, he knows that reducing work ethic, ceasing politeness, or jeopardizing his health because his wife died is completely illogical.

Get the dasallfuhyamug. DirtyLT1, a poster of "Htownracing.com" has just achieved internet fame and epic status.
His epic fail of massive proportions started when he complained of "strange noises coming from his LT1" (93' firebird formula). The problem was reported to have appeared after a routine oil change in which oil additive was included.
DirtyLT1 later dug through the trash to find the containers of his "oil additive" which was actually brake fluid.
DirtyLT1 then proceeded to try to clean the engine out with brake clean, a highly flammable substance.
The saga is far too long to detail fully in this definition.
There is still speculation over whether or not this is actually a joke or not, but regardless, it is the best forum topic to hit the interwebs in many years.

2.) A method of systematically ruining one's social skills.
3.) When a parent clones their closeminded beliefs/morals into their child without allowing their child to be exposed to opposing viewpoints and opinions. Ususally results in their child growing up to be Kent Hovind.
