I've just realised why shako is on this thread, probably thinks a sobering thought could be a useful thing to have ready.
Read back I said in western countries in my original post. That's the post you challenged. So no, my examples are not selective.
Read back That is why I said it was selective, you have selected the 20% of the world to back up your stats, but ignored the other 80%.
Are you thick? I made a statement about Western countries. I backed it up with stats from western countries. That is not being selective. I didn't make any statement about other countries with very different levels of prosperity, forms of government, etc etc I note you have not expressed any opinions yourself, just niggled away at this one point (which isn't a point, actually). Please don't waste any more of my time, just jog on
Not wasting anybodies time thicko, you are wasting your own time by replying. As the saying goes "you can't teach pork". Now ask mummy nicely to get you dressed for school
Have you both forgotten the site rules? It is not acceptable for posters to start their own arguments or continue a fight without my active participation. Sort it out ladies.
