It's absolutely an accurate use of statistics. One third of the male population was imprisoned for sexual abuse. Regardless of how many, wouldn't you want to know if 1/3 of the men around you are sexual abusers?

> It's absolutely an accurate use of statistics Nope, that's what phrase "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is about. You're a manipulator.

  Just because you do not agree with a position does not make it manipulative.

    I never said that it's my (dis)agreement with you that makes you a manipulator. It's the way you frame your argument. You said "third of the population" but forgot to mention that it's just 7 people we're talking about which is a crucial addition. I conclude you were writing that in bad faith to promote some kind of agenda of yours (which is confirmed by the history of your posts).

And I propose that it being "just" 7 doesn't change the intent of "1/3" at all. > I conclude you were writing that in bad faith to promote some kind of agenda of yours (which is confirmed by the history of your posts). My agenda is to obviously raise awareness that an island that aids sexual abusers is bad. Your agenda must be to suppress the dissemination of information pertaining to sexual abuse, I guess. I'm kind of disgusted at that behavior, tbh.

        > My agenda is to obviously raise awareness that an island that aids sexual abusers is bad This is another example of you using emotive phrases to imply a narrative that is not true. Pitcairn Island does not aid sexual abusers. Abuse is abhorrent. Trials were held, people were convicted. I'm not sure what is different to how this is handled anywhere else in the world.
