Not to resurrect a long dead thread, but I am sitting at work, and while I've been a member on THR for a while, I just registered on APS. So I've been reading through the old threads, etc. And stupidly followed the link to this other board. And read for about 2 hours. Here are the results of that.
1. I think my IQ dropped by about 15 or 20 points.
2. My head hurts
3. That thread really went to show a difference between anti-gun and pro-gun:
a) the first group, the pro-gun group, presented arguments backed by citeable statistics and
dissected those that were erroneous or inflated when presented by the antis.
b) the pro-gun group relied on logically presented statements for the most part devoid of emotional
content
c) the antis presented nebulous statistics at best, and when their stats were proven incorrect, those stats
were no longer relevant.
d) the entire argument presented by the antis was based on emotional content and rampant speculation.
