20. Welcome to DU
Edited on Sun Nov-09-08 06:50 AM by pipoman
you will find that there are 3 kinds of posters here in the gungeon. Those who make arguments for their position based on stats from groups partisan on the subject whose assertions derived from the stats are often twisted or the stats are incomplete in attempt to hoodwink the lazy and the gullible. Those who seek their own stats from studies conducted by academia or government then draw conclusions or base their beliefs on their research whether those beliefs and conclusions are right or wrong these people are usually willing to at least look at other stats compiled by perceived unbiased sources and they usually won't argue counter points based on believable data. Those who are unwilling or incapable of self examination or examination of other positions, they seek out information supporting their beliefs to the exclusion of contrary information, then when credible contrary views arise only have snarky replies and ad hominem responses...these people aren't interested in or (usually) don't have the mental capacity for intelligent discussion, so I usually don't waste my time with them.
