why do you think anyone should take you seriously when, like a typical non-thinking bogan, you simply dismiss all the evidence you don't like. One or other of us could easily refer you to each and every one of these studies but like Ian, why would anyone bother. You have already stated that you will not accept any evidence that is contrary to your opinion which implies that the worth of your posts is nil. The very best you could say about the Japanese experience is that the DP has had absolutely no effect either way. But feel free to maintain your belief in the face of over whelming evidence to the contrary.
You know you have never actually present ANY evidence to back up your claim, something I actually did, with little effort
You feel the need to tell outrageous lies to support your feeble stance. I have NEVER stated that " will not accept any evidence that is contrary to your opinion". I have stated I would never take your word for the validity of your supposed studies or the fact they prve your argument
The best thing about the japanese evidence is that 1. it exists and was presented to you for review and 2. it destroys your primary argument that the DP increases serious crime. In the long run it actually decrease serious crime, as you yourself have stated on more than one post.
So finally you not only have not provided "overwhelming evidence" but you have failed to provide ANY evidence. Any evidence that you could provide could not be considered valid or even remotely scientific, so I can see why you would want to hide it and refer to it in the abstract.
But relying on personal abuse is what passes for effort in your world then so be it.
