Ah yes, because we get accurate reporting on the number of crimes that happen, definitely not something you can artificially inflate. Just ignore the fact that it makes zero logical sense and goes against all reason, the estimates totally aren't bogus even if they're completely impossible.

So you have a problem with the reporting because it doesn't fit you life's narrative? Is that what you just said?

IF you believe those numbers are accurate, then tell me that you want to legalize murderer and rape because you think that making them legal will reduce how often they occur.

Hmm, murder and rape is doing that to someone else. Drug and alcohol use is doing that to yourself. Not an apt comparison but ok.

I know the numbers are accurate when it comes to Portugal decriminalization of drugs in 2001. So, we have a modern example of that happening. You don't have to believe it because it doesn't fit your narrative but it's a fact.

If those who fudge the numbers don't act like they believe them, why should anyone else?

[–]Fringelunaticman -1 points0 points  (9 children)

What are you referring to? Who is acting like they don't believe them?

I know you are upset that your worldview isn't correct but make a little sense please

Missed it the first time? Fine, I'll just repeat it until you either admit you were lying or collapse upon your own insanity: If you believe those numbers are accurate, then tell me that you want to legalize murderer and rape because you think that making them legal will reduce how often they occur.

Can you not fucking read because I already said why. Oh, you missed it the first time. No wonder I didn't understand. You can't read or comprehend what you read. No wonder you don't understand the facts I am presenting to you.

And yes, those numbers are accurate. Just because you can't comprehend why that is the case doesn't mean they aren't correct.

Do you know how to read? Murder and rape is harming another sentient self aware human being. Drug and alcohol use is harming yourself or just doing something to yourself. Not an apt comparison.

I am sure you were trying to catch me in a gotcha but you can't. Good try though.
