The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central GOP - the party of the rich

Such socialist ideas like free trade and free markets, and such renown communists like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher?

Allright-y.

Graph is from peer reviewed paper, this attempt to discredit is not even scientific publication. I will go with peer reviewed paper.

I guess you missed the parts about "misinterpretation" and "misuse". There is a theme here, and one you could benefit from catching on to. Data is meaningless if you do not interpret it correctly.

Misusing factual data, does not a strong argument create.

Is all data misused in your book when it doesn't agree with your personal opinion on how things ought to be?

No, just when people try to make it support positions that the data doesnt support. Or point out that the scope of the question at hand is much larger than implied by a particular interpretation.

For a quick breakdown of the bulk of your arguments - see my previous Sharks on a Beach example in the other thread.

I guess this is as close as we going to get to you acknowledging "the graph".

I always acknowledged the "graph" - its the conclusions you drew from it that were at contention. I find it odd that you take issue with me not trudging through some of your links, yet on the other hand - you rarely even seem to read what people post themselves.

Truly mind boggling.

As a rule, if I don't read the link, for whatever reasons, I do not comment on it. I suggest you too adopt this practice.

Why then do you comment on posts that you also apparently neglect to read? Strikingly odd behavior.

I must have not read them well enough, because why else would I disagree with your perfectly-reasoned opinions?
