But every fact you presented in your counterargument has proved to be untrue. You need to learn to provide citations when asked for them.

The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

You're an idiot. I provided TWO citations in my original posts.
All of my facts are correct. I said "double", that being 6k -> 11k, but I only have to prove that GDP/cap has increased. At all. It might be 6k -10k, that is still almost double and still destroys the troll argument.

Show me your figure for 1980 at higher than 10k or STFU.
Again, your graph is wrong. Also, get a real citation for it. You are the one who did not provide a citation. Your citations were for general data and was only for 2008-9, not that graph. You never cited the graph; look at the post. You are the one without citations. Your graph could be GDP non-PPP non-adjusted for all we know. My citations are very clear.
Your graph is wrong. It went from ~6k in 1980 to ~11k in ~2005.
You cannot just grab random graphs from google, fail to cite them, fail to have proper labels on the axis, and then claim someone else is lacking citations when they are not and you are.Last edited by Ecofarm; February 23, 2010, 10:41.Comment

In a later post I told you where I got the graph and I told you what the citations for it where listed as. Also you seem to forget that *I* haven't been claiming that GDP per capita was lower.

You wait all this time and then blow it. WTG.
This is incorrect.
Although the preferred comparative would be "more stupid" , it is only a convention, and "stupider" does exist.

I'm slightly intolerant of these types of "grammar corrections", but not bigoted against those who do them.
