I asked you if you could provide statistics to support the "trend" that you stated. So far, you have provided nothing but talking points. If you don't have any knowledge of what you're talking about, please don't make threads on the matter.

and if you don't like others thread don't comment in it.

you don't just enter a thread and just ask people to bring statistics or links to prove everything.You can have a conversation once in a whileand before asking others,you bring statistics  you are the one not agreeing with my comment

stop dictating others

I'm pretty sure think mods are allowed to dictate how threads work... its kinda the main part of the job description.

weird huh?

Thank you.

For the OP: I'd like to see substantial discussion. If one wants to indicate trends, statistics are an important part of that. For example, if I were to state that rates of obesity are higher in the American South than the Northeast, I would provide a graph like this:

The statistics support my claim and I've backed up my argument. If you would like to have worthwhile discussions about politics, it's something to consider.

i wasn't indicating trends just debating with kowen what i was trying to say

We were just debating and he came out and said that what i said was 'compeltely incorrect' which isn't relevant in our conversation as we weren't debating facts but just having a conversation.

 

yeah statistics help in a debate about trends but i din't really want to debate it in the first place as i was just having a conversation
