Default Why are Oilers fans so murderous? [Note: liberal arts degrees --> higher murder rate]

Where are these places? Canada? Canadians aren't people. Your statistics are inherently flawed.

Edmonton is mostly liberal arts. Do you also have that popular saying which goes like "don't thrust any statistics you didn't manipulate yourself?"

Well, if we want to follow tracers, then:

Liberal Arts = lower median salary = higher homicide rate
Sciences = higher median salary = lower homicide rate Another excellent connection made.

Perhaps we should preemptively imprison liberal arts grads, before they don't make any money and thus kill people.

Yes, but he said deaths per 100K people. That implies that the deaths were of people, or at least that there were 100K or more American tourists or other humans in the area. At the very least it's misleading.

While those statistics are laughably bad (and definitely explain the Edmontonians' brutish behaviour during the Oilers cup run compared to Calgary), I don't see why you are laughing.

Your city is one of the worst in Canada, and it's way worse than Calgary.

Why is it inferior?

1) Tons of liberal arts people
2) Corresponding lack of intelligent people
3) Terrible hockey team --> frustrations
4) Lack of attractive people --> sexual frustrations

I'm not going to expend much effort on this.

As to who is trying to be insulting...

Everything pointed out in this thread is fact. You can't counter, so you surrender.

"City of Champions", my ass.

Everything pointed out in this thread is selective use of statistics for the purpose of getting a rise out of other people, or is the inane product of a malicious, bent mind.

Is this you, or Flubber?

I only play games that I enjoy.

Some good natured banter or piss taking among friends is one thing. Engaging in a slagging match of cities with a mentally disfunctional juvenile is quite another.

I'm responding to the person rather than replying in kind to infantile attempts to troll. Sue me.
