Nanker Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 BiM, You and your friends should read Koko78’s post two up from yours. People get mocked here when they deserve it. Most uninformed posters get their asses handed to them quickly. Then they quickly resort to ad-hominem attacks and salacious insults as though that’s a defensefor their ass-hattery. It gets old for those on the other side of these social issues too, because an honest discussion rarely happens. Most of the “new” posters are woefully inept at putting forth a cogent idea in a coherent manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 https://www.vox.com/2016/2/29/11120184/gun-control-study-international-evidenceA huge international study of gun control finds strong evidence that it actually works A 2016 study, published in the academic journal Epidemiologic Reviews, seeks to resolve this problem. It systematically reviewed the evidence from around the world on gun laws and gun violence, looking to see if the best studies come to similar conclusions. It was the first such study to look at the international research in this way. The authors are careful to note that their findings do not conclusively prove that gun restrictions reduce gun deaths. However, they did find a compelling trend whereby new restrictions on gun purchasing and ownership tended to be followed by a decline in gun deaths.

However, they did find a compelling trend whereby new restrictions on gun purchasing and ownership tended to be followed by a decline in gun deaths. Quote Santaella-Tenorio was insistent that he and his colleagues have not "proven" that gun laws reduce violence. The data, he says, is simply too complicated, and the analyses too primitive, to come to such a hard conclusion. Well, they certainly did enough hedging of their bets in finding their 'trends'.

Most of the “new” posters are woefully inept at putting forth a cogent idea in a coherent manner. People get consistently mocked here whether they deserve it or not. See the 'Know Anyone With a Disease' thread. Pretty much everything I mentioned about the attacks on new posters is in there. In fact on page one I wrote a post pleading with Tom not to post his typical mst3k comments in the thread. I did not count, but I would say he posted another 75 times. Not to discuss anything though, just his typical crap. Also easy to see the group attack point that I made in many places within that thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regulars mock each other in every educated discussion. The difference is that the regulars actually argue thoughtful points while trading barbs. The newcomers, and the Tibs/gator/baskin gang, far too often forget to actually argue, and instead use boring sarcasm and tangential topics. Then they get called idiots. Your "Know Anyone With a Disease" thread was 99% preaching peudoscience and 1% thoughtful discussion, which is why it was roundly mocked. If you want to talk on PPP, you up your game or you get trashed until you do. That's just how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Mich Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah, ok. So the people you agree with are the smart ones. It's just those others that are idiots. Sure, that makes perfect sense here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut the !@#$ up, lemming. See how that went for you? Act like a moron, make a **** argument, get **** on and shut down. Class is over.

Posting stupidity, then refusing to engage the posters who actually try to discuss the matter with anything approaching a rational thought does not work. That's neither a secret, nor an inside joke.

When I call you Jersey Sue or Scooby or refer to hot sauce on your junk don't automatically feel insulted. Say you don't understand.

Pretty much everything I mentioned about the attacks on new posters is in there. Yeah, you've caught a lot of grief in that thread. I can't remember if I've ever posted anything in that thread or not, but I've kept up with most of it. For what it's worth, a lot of people who post here support legalization for a multitude of reasons. I don't smoke it anymore, but I fully support it too. Whether it's fair or not, some people here will make fun of you for being a stoner. Relentlessly. On the other hand, by continuing to add to the thread as you do, you've built up a pretty good reference source for information on the medical potential of marijuana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
