True. But links shut them up on all manner of subjects. I have decided that when I see idiocy here (and this Board was established as anti-idiotarian) I will simply post facts that refute the idiocy. When I see idiot comments, I will simply down-ding the idiot post, if I don’t want to spare the time and effort of tracking down those links.

Unless I get into the Single Malts, which turns me into an Idiot Irish half-breed.

In that case, I will apologize the next day for being an idiot.

Facts are hard to dispute, but can usually be countered by digging into the details…difficult to do in a forum like this. Easier to yell.

For instance, infant mortality figures are high in the US, but we count our live births differently, and we attempt to save more preemies than other places (a sign we have an advanced medical system) …but since I don’t have a fact link to give you, you’ll just have to trust me. :)
