I never said it eradicates violent crime, only that it lessens the chance of it. I rarely, if ever, speak in terms of absolute. There's always exceptions to any rule and there's usually generalizations made.
Both my stance on education helping to eliminate terrorism and the teachings of sociology are, as I stated in those posts, generalizations, so arguing me by pointing out those that don't fit those generalizations make no sense, at least not to me, because I never said that my arguments were absolutes. I also stated that the comment about education was my opinion, not a fact.
I have no problem with people not agreeing with me, your just as free to your opinion as I am to mine, I just wish people would not act as if I had stated something as an absolute when I made sure to put in my post that I was NOT applying the statement to all.
Rant off. Thanks for listening. Someone distract Johnny so we can get his beer!!!
