Two U.S. graphs.

[Gore1FL]

16. If you wish to compare apples to oranges they are awesome.

I am for gun control and don't own guns. Your assessment of my non-existent "problem" is incorrect.

I could meaningfully comment if the graphs were to a common scale. They aren't. How many deaths per year in Vietnam? Afghanistan? Iraq? U.S. Schools? How many years would it take to fill that stadium? Answer those questions and your 1st graph might have some useful meaning.

As far as the second graph, comparing 23 years of shootings vs 86 years of lynchings is meaningful, why exactly?

Why were the specific year ranges selected? That seems arbitrary at best.

Give me real information and real comparable data. Otherwise all you are giving me is propaganda and it hurts your case.

Please don't confuse the inability of the graphs to provide useful comparative information with me being "rattled" or "offended". I actually support what the graph is trying to argue. It simply does it incorrectly and ineffectively.

If you would like to be civil and discuss this further, I am will to continue. If you insist on attacking me over the ineffectiveness of the graphs you provided, then we are done.
