1. They claimed that every elderly wears 'Dont kill me' bands here in Holland xD So I am not inclined to believe a similar story.

    Not every bureaucrat is a sadist Aaron.
  2. That's what you believe. It's you that is completely gullible when it comes to something that is obviously questionable. It comes from a professor who said this about five months ago. 130,000? Really?

    It's just the Daily Mail trying to get a story to shock people but really, it's ancient and incorrect. He's estimating it purely from the city of Liverpool - it's a load of bullshit I'm afraid.
  3. Me gullible? I question whether or not I'm alive, until I hit my hand on something.
  4. Insanity is a matter of perspective, son.


  5. I would also just like to make clear that the site from which your article originated clearly states that they're bias. Therefore you can't state them as a source for anything.

    Their official statement on what they do: Anti-union organization which does research and provides analysis to "expose the inequities of compulsory unionism."

    The whole idea of research is to find facts. Not to prove your own beliefs. What a stupid organisation.

    Everyone has a bias. They just have the balls to admit it. As long as you recognize it there is nothing to worry about.

    I stand by my statement. Unions cant argue with right to work on the merits, so they turn to fear-mongering.
  7. Granted, they have the balls to admit it, but it does render any "research" they do completely irrelevant by default.

    There is no such thing as an unbiased source. Therefore, I guess all sources are irrelevant.
  9. Well not exactly. Many organisations do make an effort to be unbiased in their research. It's what makes certain research bodies "reputable". It can never be perfect but steps can be taken to make your research more legitimate. Your linked site is a far cry from that. They explicitly say that they're out to prove their own point of view. They therefore cannot be quoted as a source. This is fact.
