Should the U.S. pull out of Chicago ?

....

To get an idea of other points of view (valid, invalid, interesting, whatever)..... To perhaps learn something?

To call the article "that piece of trash" without having read it, makes as much sense as Norminn throwing comments out about the article without providing the source so others might follow in depth.

I made a first read of most of the article.... I found it interesting. I'd have to read all of it (more than once) and follow up on references (explicit or implied) to attempt to answer the very valid question...

If NYC yes, then why Chicago no?

At all cities are alike so we're dealing with a multi-variable situation. Perhaps someone has or can tease out the "why".

idiocy of that claim,

Ummm.... yes, you did.

And there's the claim right there.

And yet you still can't explain why the same thing didn't happen in Chicago and DC.

[DD_BobK]

Fair enough... the choices were confusing & it was difficult to find the "free" one.

please hold the "dimwit" label for times when I truly am.

[Norminn]

Gads....I wonder how many ads and buttons I ignore in a typical day on the 'net?

I'll try to hold off until I can cite sources for Doug....apparently he is the only expert :o)

There is no need to distinguish you from the other doug.

Try again The piece of trash was NOT directed at one article in a magazine that is a piece of trash (see how that works)

Because it was not a causal claim

The fact that you had to cut my text to change the context demonstrates that you are a troll

My point was that it's *you* who doesn't understand.

*You* put my response in the wrong place when *you* rearranged this. So who's the troll?

I'm done with you. You've demonstrated that you're unable to hold an adult discussion.

Seems like you say that about everyone that disagrees with you.

[Attila Iskander]

Particularly when he's been caught cutting the previous post to change the context Ironic that a few days ago he was asking people not to confuse him with the other "doug", and yet after a few days his behavior made him indistinguishable from the other one..

My apologies for not following correctly what "that" was referring to.

The article itself is worth reading if only for it's interesting point of view.

"Because it was not a causal claim".... I know it wasn't a causal claim.

Perhaps if you read the article, it could be discussed.

Perhaps you should read more carefully, then -- I say that only about people (such as "Attilla") who are unable to discuss issues without introducing personal abuse. That's grade-school stuff, not the substance of an adult conversation.

[krw]

(such as "Attilla")

That's everyone who tries to have a conversation with you. You're incapable of an honest discussion.

Keith, you've got me mixed up with the other Doug again...

Crap! I don't know why my NR just shows "Doug". Sorry! ...again.

question was to show the

It proves to me that you apparently have poor critical reading skills. That's because the very simple comparison of what is going on in NYC vs Chicago suggests the association of leaded vs unleaded gas suggested by the article makes no sense. It's an obvious contradiction that at least 3 of us here thought of right from the start. I'd have that contradiction in mind just thinking about the topic. And I'd evaluate whether the article addresses it.

You say you read the piece, so I would think you'd know the answers. But for me the fact that Chicago today has a dreadful crim rate, while NYC has a low crime rate, with both using unleaded gas, suggests the above isn't the core issue.

[Attila Iskander]

Considering that

- the effect of unleaded gas is a cumulative effect

- other factors can play into such long term effect And finally, since it was a simple correlation, and NO a causative claim..

It appears that once more you just seem to be intent on jerking off to the beat of your down drummer.
