i don't give a shit what he "graduated college" in. besides, that was essentially a joke since american sociologists are largely obsessed with "deviance" which apparently... fuck it....
Hey. Just saying he has some experience in what he's talking about.

you must be living in a cave, too. conservative figures of 2-3% of the population is fairly commonplace. that's about the same % as jews. are you going to tell me jews aren't commonplace? less than that % are lawyers. lawyers seem fairly commonplace to me.
Umm...I think you're looking at this the wrong way. 2-3% is almost rare by my standards...commonplace is closer to 10%. The area you live in may have up to 10%, which would make your statement faulty in any case because you're dealing only with your area. If you live in Israel, Jews are commonplace...not so in Iran, where they only make up about 2% of the population. You get no play on that statement.
Then you had to add lawyers to the mix. That was funneh, considering that I find most lawyers to be a fairly slimey lot...undeserving life in general. If you want any empathy, you'd best stay away from that line of fallacy.

the statement you're responding to has nothing to do with statistics.
Au contrair. You're basing an assumption on numerical data. Sounds like statistics to me. I'm looking at your post as a whole, not broken up.

Evidently, quite a few people, or none of this would be an issue.
