| VAMatt said: I'll go ahead and bow out of this conversation after this. What we seem to have here is a bunch of non-Americans pretending to speak on American culture, and life in the USA with authority. There are a couple of Americans in here trying to constructively contribute to the conversation, with first-hand knowledge and experience. But, many of y'all persist in thinking that you know better than the people that actually live through this stuff. I hope you guys recognize that you are simply living in a state of ignorance. You all might think back on the old adage about statistics and who uses them. Also, this topic should be moved to the politics forum. It hasn't really been about gaming for a couple of days now. |
Your entire argument is a logical fallacy... You are trying to undermine your opponents views by taking approaches not related to the topic at hand. (I.E. Claiming that users haven't visited/lived in the USA). - Not only do you not know that for sure (I have actually been to the USA.) but adds absolutely zero credibility to your arguments. If anything, does the complete opposite.
Those outside of the USA can form and base their perspectives on the empirical evidence that has been presented and thus make direct comparisons to other pieces of evidence that has been presented. - Evidence being the key word here. - Ignorance is what you are propagating by attempting to discard empirical evidence for your anecdotal evidence... And not the other way around, so stop pretending it is.
This is why some people believe the Earth to be flat, because they would rather opt for their Anecdotal evidence over empirical evidence.
