Not unless you do a really bad job of translating him from English into another language.

"More and more, I have less pity. Gun-friendly states, and their voters and children, reap what they sow."

Can you break down how you read this, in reference to a school shooting in Michigan?

Does it make sense to imply that Michigan is a gun-friendly state? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it does not logically follow that (a) California is not a gun-friendly state, or (b) that Less believes that non-gun-friendly states are immune from gun violence (as opposed to, e.g., believing that whatever they reap, it is not what they sowed).

Also, when I linked a summary of school shooting per state, he did not accept that Cali is a dangerous place for school and he disputed the facts staring him in his face.

I don't really have a dog in this hunt, but he didn't say that on any post on this board.

Huh? Tell you what, maybe let Less speak for himself? He speaks closer to normal human than you.

He can speak for himself just fine, but apparently you can't read.

I think I see the problem here with this debate, or at least part of the problem:

Hank, you translate others’ posts from English into some other language, and you do so poorly. That means that what you are responding to is unlikely to be an accurate representation of what was actually said.

Ty, your language skills are far from those of normal humans, or at least farther from normal human language than is the case with some other posters here. It is therefore difficult to respond to what you are saying because it is hard to know what you would actually be saying if you spoke normal human, or at least close to normal human language.

I don’t know the solution, but I think the above problems may be why it appears you are talking past each other.

I remember you engaging in quote fights years ago, and thinking I can't imagine doing that, but now you sucked me in- Less, will you tell him how you feel about the amount of school gun violence in Cali?

"You claim credence for having a technical degree, yet you post this bullshit with raw figures. California has the largest population, so the amount of shootings is unsurprising."

I’d respond substantively, but I recently learned that, in addition to the problems I discussed in my earlier post, it has been discovered that you apparently are unable to read. Which makes me think that it is probably not all that helpful for me to spend time on a substantive response.

Ty has my proxy. I did not say that CA was immune, and I questioned your use of raw shooting numbers, rather than per capita or per victim.
