Were you being courteous and respectful when you stated I had no practical knowledge of the legal system?
No, I was very popular but that was quite a long time ago. I try to not live in the past though.
Who is hiding? I would be happy to tell you were ignorant in any setting that we happen to debate another topic in, this happens to be the medium we interact over. How is your post any different than mine? Have you been introduced to Mr. Kettle?
People thank me at times. Those people are often not the people that come here and post invalid opinions and legal fallacies ad nauseum. Perhaps you should find a new hobby, you don't appear to be any good at this one.
I will give you the chance to explain your side of the argument. I will help you out by providing a few questions you can answer or use to examine your arguments logical basis.
Why is it that any study that agrees with my point of view is incorrect but any study you use to support your ideas are right?
What does the recidivism rate of state prisoners have to do with the sentencing of a DUI offender?
Why do you state I have no practical knowledge? Is it because I simply don't agree with you?
How do you know what information I have or do not have about studies you have never seen?
Would my argument be more convincing to you if I followed your model? i.e. Using generalities and non-analagous examples
1. I never used any study.
2. Nothing.
3. Seems that way.
4. Don't know.
5. Maybe, examples of personal experiences is usually
more compelling that studies.
