Damn those facts, the left must really hate them.

The poster you replied too, replied to the poster saying Aussie crime stats went up 50%, and you posted a page that compares Aussie crime rate vs American crime rate, I fail to see how that relates.



I think you guys just google shit and link the first page you see without even reading it.

Of course you didn't bother reading the article. Otherwise you'd have seen last date of update. As well as the following image:

That's pretty rich coming from someone that blatantly failed to read the article I linked.

You're right, when it said 2001 I didn't bother to waste my time, because a person who actually knows how to update a web page would have noted the update at the top, not at the bottom of the page.

Your petty gripe with where the update is listed doesn't change the data.

You failed to read the article. You spouted off false information. Then you accused others of not reading articles.

I wish I were surprised by this type of behavior, but it's all too common in this thread.

You can't understand why someone would not read an article about current crime statistics and the article is posted in 2001 with no notice of update in eye site view? That's a pretty unreasonable thought process right there.

I think it's incredibly hypocritical to accuse others of not reading articles, while in the EXACT SAME post demonstrating that you did not read an article. The reason for not reading it is highly unimportant. Fact remains, you didn't read it, and judged it nevertheless.

But all of that is really trivial. The most important thing to take away from all this is that Dystemper is a liar.

It´s to bring it into perspective... crime stats went up 50% means nothing when you don´t link crime stats.

1 murder last year, 2 murders this year, omg murders went up 100%.

I think it is more important to simply say he was wrong. Being mistaken and wrong are not the same thing as being a liar.

Well, comparing Australia to the US is also like comparing Vermont to Illinois.

[Nfinitii]

I just had a thought, the left pushes a narrative that we have nvr been safer and that crime is down, while simultaneously pushing for stricter gun laws. Does that make sense? If guns r the problem but things r getting better?

I feel like we just narrowly missed the perfect storm of bad spelling.

Something like: "their to embedded in too there society over they're now"

I will give you a hint. Comparing two countries or two states requires one to take into consideration social and other contributors besides blaming something on a single item like gun possession or access.

[Zomis]

why dont you follow your own advice after looking at Australia...derp

Comparing apples to oranges derp.

And i did no such thing.

[Ghostpanther]

Sorry. Was not trying to say you did. Was just pointing out it is something which some tend to do here. Like you said, statistics can mislead us sometimes unless you consider all the data.
