Source on 50 points below the average?

You don't know the difference between percentage and percentage points.

et's see what I've said rape is close to the national average (well within 25%) fact, your own statistics prove it.

Wrong again. Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Per 1,000 people stats (remember we covered this earlier? You're not gonna bitch about it, right?)


Bellevue: 0.21

National: 0.34

0.21*50%=0.105

0.21+0.105=0.315<0.34

Bellevue has a rape rate that is more than 50% below the national average. If you want to phrase it differently then that's fine, you could say that the rate is ~60% of the national average by saying that 0.21/0.34=0.617 or 61.7%

Where you got 25% is beyond me, but you're wrong again.

The we're above the national average for theft. Fact. Your own statistics prove it.

You're right.

The reason I said you present erroneous and disingenuous arguments is because I've realized what your doing you're arguing a completely separate point and using it as a "counter" to my argument

The argument has evolved, you kept bringing up other shit so it had to be address. This is on you. I'm going to bold this and whatever else so you dont ignore it:

YOU ORIGINALLY SAID THAT DRUG RELATED CRIMES IN BELLEVUE HAVE INCREASED 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3-5 YEARS. YOU ARE WRONG.


Of course not, even the places with the highest statistics it won't happen.

No, you're just lying about a whole host of other things. For instance the drug related crime rate, your understanding of statistics, and probably a dozen other things that I stopped caring about an hour ago.

Are we both right? Absolutely.

You've been right about exactly one thing. I've been right about a dozen.

But I am saying that in one case it is over the national average and the other it is quite close.

60% is not close to 100%.

I am highly skeptically that people actually pay you for your supposed work in the field, and more alarmed for them if they do because you've clearly shown a complete lack of moral fiber in presenting those "facts", and a complete lack of understanding of what you are supposed to be presenting.

As opposed to the guy who presented "drug related crimes are up 3X" as fact. Fuck off. Or at least tell me where you live so I can send you some books on statistics and rhetoric.
