I think you are really advocating the Jungian model of the self, which has three parts: individual consciousness, individual unconsciousness, and coll...

What I observe, having been working on these numbers since 2015, is that there appears to be a reverse in the downward trend since Trump took over, at...

Here is the international data from 2010, and if you have a point to make about lead poisoning or whatever, Wikipedia now has some data up to 2016. Wi...

If I produce a graph you just say my data doesnt matter, so why should I make any effort to demonstrate my knowledge by drawing graphs of it for hours...

They correlate with political takeovers. Which is pretty well what happens in the USA when Congress and President both switch from one party to the ot...

If you look up homicide rates, you will find almost all the nations with higher homicide rates than the USA are in extreme political unrest and have n...

Thats not necessary for my purposes, because suicide rates are my control group for measuring the effectiveness of gun control on homicide in the USA,...
June 09, 2020 at 17:16
Ive not had a reason to do that before, all I know is about homicide rates internationally, mostly with relation to suicide and gun control.
June 09, 2020 at 17:11
Well thats interesting, thank you. In California, San Jose rejects refunding in favor of ongoing reform bills in Congress, which is not surprising, be...

Really. The I provided the confidence factor for linear extrapolation from data since 2005, and as it is over 0.9, there is no need to spline model th...
June 09, 2020 at 16:29
Yes, but crime rate has not fallen in OTHER PLACES. Just as, asphalt melts where there are no mosquitoes. They did the same thing. They had no control...
June 09, 2020 at 16:23
thats a good version of the melting asphalt causing malaria. Of course you know the method to demonstrate how that correlation is not causation too
June 09, 2020 at 16:15
That also shows your inferior intellect. According to the philosophy of science, you would need to produce a statistical analysis that challenges mine...
June 09, 2020 at 16:06
the FBI only provides spreadsheets for each year, so to provide equivalent evidence, you would have to find the right spreadsheet on 18 different FBI ...

These are my projections for all crimes involving firearms, which extrapolates using least-squares approximation crime and assault rates to 2025 from ...
June 09, 2020 at 15:55
No I didnt, and now you are showintg the level of your own intellect. I produced numbers showing the total crime has fallen 50% in the last 20 years, ...
June 09, 2020 at 15:46
I have not used any ad hominem attacks on you. I have presented facts as they are for the last two decades and made reasoned deductions. You are welco...
June 09, 2020 at 15:36
On the other hand, sir, the police have been doing far better than they used to, in fact, probably too well. According to the Dept of Justice Statisti...
June 09, 2020 at 15:14
I think DISBANDING THE POLICE will turn the USA into USSR, yes. Im sure the funding could be used for better things, but I am not such an idealist. I ...
June 09, 2020 at 10:10
Do you remember a thing called the prohibition, and what happened as a result of that? Organized crime will go absolutely bananas with delight at your...
June 09, 2020 at 09:57
Again: the murder rate tripled when the police were told not to respond except to direct requests by victims for several years after the same thing ha...
June 09, 2020 at 09:42
they should put that as a warning for new members, lol.
June 09, 2020 at 09:10
well I wouldnt have thought of violence in a classless socieity, so you certainly given me something to think abut a few days. Locke says personal def...
June 09, 2020 at 08:33
It is intriguing, although I don't share your interest in waste products, what I would note is that human beings seem to think they are the 'winners' ...

I wasnt doing it for community service. I was doing it because the air stank all the time. It got me in more trouble later, because after six months w...

yes, I am proud to be whinging white animal with a despicable degree from a useless shithole called oxford, where I learned Rousseau said truth can on...
June 09, 2020 at 00:52
That's also rubbish. I was not living next to an all-black neighborhood out of choice. The gang had alot more money than me. One factor that particula...

I dont know, because these days, I dont bother reading anything after the first insult, so there's a couple of dozen posts on me now I haven't read in...
June 08, 2020 at 18:46
Very few people ask that question of themselves. The evidence is, no, it didnt save many lives, nor did it really change history that much. All other ...

If you dont find the Sapir whorf hypothesis worthy of your attention, thats not my problem, and certainly does not mean I am disinterested in discussi...
June 08, 2020 at 13:55
I found a very nice place. I do miss the cat they killed, and I am trying to find another black coon, they are not as common as they used to be.
June 08, 2020 at 13:40
So far I have not seen any police statement to that effect at all, only that they are trained to do it, and they have been considering stopping the tr...
June 08, 2020 at 13:39
I tiried raising this in a separate thread, but I would say we face a far worse problem. I started on this in an attempt to understand why the Minneap...
June 08, 2020 at 13:33
I understand, sir, whatever happened to me, I deserved it for being too shallow to understand it and a over privieleged white fuck with a useless degr...

Dont ask me, Im too shallow to understand what I am being told, and an over-privileged white animal with a despicable education at a useless shithole ...
June 08, 2020 at 13:24
Well I just started a new thread on the future possibility of rodney king style riots, perhaps you would be so kind to help me out there too
June 08, 2020 at 13:10
Well I hav eto say, from the huge outpouring of hate for raising this point on democratic forums, I have to admit, I had come to the conclusion, every...
June 08, 2020 at 12:34
I just replied on the other thread, cant you see it? Well it doesn't matter, I'm just an over-privileged white animal with a despicable education at a...
June 08, 2020 at 12:15
well I agree. But Ive not had any success in doing anything about it either. In the end I just say, look, I know I am only a white animal and obviousl...
June 08, 2020 at 12:15
I lived next to a poor all-black neighborhood for 10 years. While I was there, the city built a new good bank, organized two enormous concerts in the ...

Wel Im glad to find someone discussing this here, because I have raised a problem with this proposal. This very much tracks what happened after Freddi...

NO you didnt, but thank you for thinking to apologize. That puts you almost in a class by yourself with regards to my personal exdperience. and I do h...
June 08, 2020 at 11:13
Well thats a very good start. As you claim not to be shallow, you should perfectly well understand that I am more interested in finding a cat to repla...
June 08, 2020 at 10:36
As I say, I do not have the experience to discuss whether my personal attitudes are just or not. That is the job of the court when they finally locked...
June 08, 2020 at 10:26
I heard so much of this, I dont really read it all any more. All I say is, no one in the black community did anything to help me. they all pretended l...
