Ban on gay blood donors upheld by panel

[Ben Kenobi]

Not only is he bigoted and hateful, he's making up random things and passing them as fact to push his agenda.

I'm not making up anything.

Girls are 3x as likely to be sexually assaulted as boys.

If we assume that the perpetrators are 90 percent male, and that gay men are 5 percent of the population, this means that 5 percent of the population is committing roughly 25 percent of the overall sexual assault rate. This means that a gay man is about 5x as likely on average to commit sexual assault.

More unsourced statistics...

You're making up EVERYTHING.

You are a liar and a terrible Christian. This should bother you -- you should try to be a better man and a better Christian, but your evil soul won't let you. The Devil has you, Ben.

[Asher]

76% of Christians are closeted homosexuals, while 95% of Christians have raped girls. Given these statistics, Ben, how could you possibly say that homosexuals rape boys?

These aren't exactly hard to find statistics, Asher. Look it up, check it out. It's all right there.

Of course, that would mean doing work which you are allergic too.

I work fulltime and have my own consultancy on the side, and you say I don't do work?

What do you do again, Ben? Remind us how hard your work is.

Cite these numbers from reputable sources, or go to hell. Your choice.

Look em up, check em out. The truth will set you free, Asher.

[Asher]

That's not how the world works, Ben. You randomly spit out random statistics when you've a reputation as a pathological liar then demand other people look it up.

You are hell-bound, my friend.

[DaShi]

I've looked them up. Ben you are wrong. If you don't believe me, look them up yourself.

And yet, you somehow find time to post on Poly? Gee, that's productive. Glad you aren't working for me, what a waste of money.

It's how I roll. You'd be amazed how productive I am. But my brain needs ample break times to reset itself, if I fixate on one thing too long I become unproductive and board. Poly is a perfect distraction. It's how some people work.

Some people are ridiculously good at what they do and can do in 10 minutes what takes other people hours.

Fine. Let's do a wager then. 100 bucks says those stats do have reputable sources behind them. 100 for each citation. Deal?

Ok. So you work on commission.

At least I have the honour to bill my clients for hours worked.

I'm not going to take money from a mentally retarded, socially inept sad ****.

You cite statistics central to your argument, you back them up. That's how it works.

In one study, 98% of males who raped boys reported that they were heterosexual. (Sexual Abuse of Boys, Journal of the American Medical Association, December 2, 1998)
