Description
The average person is to stupid to fact check and think critically and often they are swayed by bogus studies https://dispellingthemythukvsusguns.wordpress.com/
Round 1
Forfeited
It is not enough to quote data it must be correctly interpreted, often data can by misleading for many reasons
I interpret this as correct... but the data is not there...
Where is the data Pro? Can you quote it?...
I was wrong to interpret it as correct, for the data itself doesn't exist to be interpreted, it's just a string of words that we have assigned meaning from our flawed subjective minds.
Round 2
Forfeited
The data supporting Pro need only be quoted and Pro will win.
Round 3
Forfeited
Slap that booty.
Bonus points to this debate for irony.
Yeah, man. Like when people say illegal immigrants are good for our economy because they make tomatoes slightly cheaper, but then never mention the billions of dollars they use up in welfare programs every year.
