The article was written before he died. It's intention was to be specific to Moore, but was speaking about the likelihood that the risk would continue to increase. Nothing about this article is "rude to his family and friends".

Nice work. +1

I find it a bit odd that someone would judge others by their phone use. Personal choice is just that: a personal choice. I like my Note because it allows me to only carry/buy one device. It works for me. I didn't buy it as a statement of LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.

Umm, I was referring to your assumption, without any facts, that all murders would occur with or without access to guns. That is a very large assumption that all gun murders would occur without access to guns, just with the next best thing, like Knives.

I love how DrNick disproved someone's baseless statement (i.e. without any information to back it up) with researched fact, and the response to it was again baseless statements to attempt to prove their point.

watch the clip, buddy.

Are there any other fun Stats driven books out there for the lay reader that you would recommend? What were your thoughts on the book, "Scorecasting" or "soccernomics"?

Then have that stat standalone. No need to use a misleading comparison.

This has been going around the web a ton today, and I am a MLS fan, but it is very spurious logic. No stadium in the EPL, save Old trafford, can hold 66,452. A better stat to use would be percentage of tickets sold versus stadium capacity. Still a great turn out, but MLS continues to be a very localized sport.
