The brains of the BNP

[HoreTore]

So nearly a quarter of all muders in the last ten years were committed by immigrants; yet 94.4% of your population are ethnic Norse. Muslims make up 1.8% of your population, yet have committed 10% of the murders in the last ten years.

That's a pretty big problem you have there, proportionally speaking.

Bah! There are two kinds of lies; normal lies and statistics.

It can be as high a percentage you want, we are still only talking about 75 murders. Which is an irrelevant number.

You're the one bringing in statistics and then describing them as lies. Make up your mind.

Furthermore, I'm kind of surprised that you consider 75 murders to be irrelevant. That's potentially 75 families that lost a member, and god knows how much people who lost a friend. Aren't you typically in the 'every life counts' side of the political spectrum? I thought that was what being leftist is about.

The same statistic can lead to all kinds of different conclusions, when presented in different ways. But when you're dealing such low numbers as 75 out of 200.000, I think percentages are irrelevant.

Yes, but I still can't see why on earth those 75 deaths should affect the 199.925 non-murdering immigrants one bit.

Tell that to the families...

[HoreTore]

Tell that to the families...

Why would I have any problems telling those families that even though someone was killed by an immigrant, I still think it's OK for the 200k other immigrants to stay in this country?

[Tribesman]

The best way to deal with that statistic is to go longer term.
The murder rate is pretty consistant on a per capita basis for norway.
So take a pile of years when there was a very very low proportion of non-norwegians living in norway then compare that to a pile of years when there was a higher proportion of non-norwegians living in Norway.
When you come to the amazing discovery that the constant has remained unchanged with both variables you get the conclusion that a relatively stable certain number of people living in Norway will get murdered no matter who it is that is living in Norway or where they originally come from.

So first you say all statistics are lies and then you quote Norwegian statistics, mix them with british statistics, assume things that don't seem to be in the statistics(that every immigrant committed just one murder, you might of course want to cite statistics to prove this ) and then you imagine things I never said.

75 murders may be statistically(oh wait, you said all statistics are lies) irrelevant to you, I was just saying it's certainly not to the families of the people, nowhere did I say that this means you should throw out all immigrants, you might want to stop proactively putting words into other peoples' mouths.

If immigrants are much more likely to commit murder then surely there is something wrong with them, their community or their treatment, if it's so irrelevant then why does Norway have a police in the first place? And even if it's completely irrelevant in Norway, why do you assume from that that it is completely irrelevant in Britain as well? Is Norway an exact copy of Britain now?

Oh, and:

(that every immigrant committed just one murder, you might of course want to cite statistics to prove this )

No I do not assume that, in fact I stated the opposite.... 75 is the number of people killed by an immigrant, not the number of immigrant murderers. As I said, the number of murderers would be a little lower, as I can recall a few double murders.

Yeah, well, he's talking about Norwegian statistics while this thread is about British statistics, of course they may be similar but it can't hurt to point that out, what you did was try to disprove the british statistics with Norwegian ones and...

200.000 immigrants -75 murders = 199.925 non-murdering immigrants = 75 murdering immigrants = one murder per immigrant murderer is your logic displayed here.

Now I'm going to take the above as a correction but this topic is about Britain and Britain is not Norway so they may have different problems under their CCTV.

I think a pendant is a similar thing/expression/object/situation. So that might fit, unless you are joking.

[Fragony]

That's rather cold, those are 75 murders I don't think that's nothing. Actually think that's quite a lot for a lowly populated country like Norway.

When you come to the amazing discovery that the constant has remained unchanged with both variables you get the conclusion that a relatively stable certain number of people living in Norway will get murdered no matter who it is that is living in Norway or where they originally come from.
