Your refusal to check BBC Sport for the Oldham has caused this and I suspect that deep down you''re rather pleased.

Shyster 0 Posted December 10, 2009 [quote user="king canary"][quote user="Shyster"]Stop quoting everything, you dim sod.Do you know how those kind of statistics are gathered? You know those annoying f*ckers who step into your path with clipboards doing surveys? Well that''s how relevant and accurate those statistics are.I, and anybody else, can google stat''s all day long - don''t believe everything you read on the internet, chump. [:P][/quote]statistics on murder rates are not gathered by people in the street with clipboards. What would they ask, ''Hi can I just have a minute of your time to ask if you''ve ever been murdered?'' Essentially those stats tell you that places with the death penalty have higher murder rates. That is a fact. Now you can still argu for the death penalty as much as you like but to try and deny just plain facts is not going to help.[/quote]Before I busy myself explaining to you how those particular statistics are falsified data, and indeed, why they are fake, I''d like you to consider the following question:Why would murder rates be higher in Death Penalty states?

It promotes the concept of revenge or the idea that violence can be used as a means of righting a wrong, which of course it can''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
