Oops. Please accept my own retraction! :)

I think every smoker in the world would take exception to reference to smoking being as dangerous as homosexuality. It definitely is NOT!

[Antoninus]

In fact, according to the study, homosexuals are over 12% more likely to have been booked for illegal activity than heterosexuals....The data for criminality indicated that 22.8% of homosexuals have been booked for committing a crime, compared to 11% of heterosexuals.

Actually, that means that the incidence of illegal activity among people with SSAD is over 100% greater than us evil "Christer" breeders. I have to say, I 'm shocked. /sarcasm

[Antoninus]

Go figure that I'd ever defend homosexuals, but a 12% increase in criminal behavior rates is not impressive. Far, far away from what I would call "far more likely."

Read the whole article. That statistic was misleading. What it said was, the incidence of criminal activity among heterosexuals is 11%. Among homosexuals, it's 22.8%. If the news source in question was a mainstream effete media outlet, they would have run a headline like this:

"Gays twice as likely as straights to commit crimes."

BTTT

WOW!

[snip] In a press release put out by his institute Cameron alleges that the study “was withheld from the general public because of its explosive content.”

[Pessimist]

So mo's, ho's and IV drug users had similar rates of arrest to smokers?

Well, I suppose the percentage of smokers might be higher among the lower (and therefore more likely to be arrested) classes.

But if the point of the analysis is to paint mo's, ho's and junkies as being exceptionally bad, to me the presence of smokers in that group kinda blows the whole premise.

"12% more likely" is bad wording. Later in the article, it explains that 11% of heteros were criminals, versus 23% of homosexuals. So its more than 100% more likely.

Oh fercryinoutloud. This writer looked at 23% vs. 11% and concluded this means homos are [23 - 11 =] 12% more likely?!!

"Bad wording"? LOL. The writer is an imbecile.

AAAARRRRGGGG!!!!!

Actually, it is much worse than that--the author didn't understand his numbers. Rounding, 11% of heteros have been arrested and 23% of homos have been. I assume that's where he gets his 12%. But actually, it's a more than 100% increase in the rate of criminality as the rate more than doubled.

Verrry interesting. I've very busy right now but will ping the list later.

[Tanniker Smith]

Obviously, it's a case of profiling.

[SouthWall]

But, but...

It's because the mean old society makes everything gays like to do a criminal act. So if that nasty old society would just change the laws.(sarcasim off)

[murphE]

Oh this will go over well.

Yup, it's bound to be a big hit with the editorial staff of every major newspaper and every news opinion program in the MSM.

[television is just wrong]

My next door neighbor, 78 years old, with macular degeneration, allowed a gay man working at a neighborhood market to move into her house. The understanding was that he was to help her with paying her bills and be her 'eyes'.

After less than 6 months, she asked him to leave. Last Friday, I discovered after reading her Trust to her, and unknown to her, the attorney, and her ex-room mate were to own her house after her death, 50-50.

Stipulating in that will that the room mate must still be residing in her house, caring for her, and not received gifts from her as well.

She bought him a television set, and a new bed as well as draperies for the room and an entertainment center he took all items with him when he moved out.

When I read her trust to her, she said no one had ever read that in entirety, even when the attorney had her sign the trust, she knew she was signing a trust, and trusted her attorney to look out for her interest.

This woman has 3 children, and relatives from her marriage. Who have all been written out of her trust.

I would like to see the underlying data, particularly the sampling techniques used to sample the people who responded to the survey, as well as the actual questions.

What I'd like to know is how they're defining homosexual. Given that homosexual sex is rampant in prisons among otherwise straight men, how would those ex-convicts arrested for another crime be categorized? It could be that all they've discovered is that habitual offenders commit more crimes.

[JudgemAll]

judge Greer and his cohorts would disagree. Do not question judges (sarcasm off)

[M1-A2]

Lol
Good one really did have me rofl.

[Disambiguator]

Were the attorney and the "market-man" involved with each other? This sounds pretty sordid.
