re: #177 Rightwingconspirator

I simply find more merit in the comparison than you do Obdi, and what I clipped out outlines the method and the reasoning. It is what it is. Your view is a critics view. I await a qualified objective view.

First of all, why aren’t I a qualified objective view?

Second of all, you’re just not responding to what I’m saying. You don’t have a response to it, except to re-assert what you’re saying. I’m pointing out a specific problem with the survey—there are confounding factors—and you’re just saying ‘it is what it is’.

If I had ever argued that CCL carriers were more likely to be criminal, or if that argument had been made in general, this would be a slightly more understandable thing for you to suddenly pull out, but I haven’t, and that argument is not a generally made one.

The survey compares the highly selected subgroup of CWL carriers to the general population. The general population includes lots of people ineligible for CWL precisely because they have felonies. The survey is about criminality. I’m baffled as to how you can not understand that this is a confounding factor.
