Mayweather v McGregor

[jefmcg]

rich people, poor people hit and do worse to their partners and kids every second of the day, are you only sadden by those whos worth is over $100 million, it seems a strange thing to write.

Personally, I would like to stop every woman beater being paid $100M.

You may feel differently. I suspect that is partially because you have a penis.

 

[jefmcg]

Ok, let's agree to disagree. I'd like to see women beaters stop being rewarded beyond what is even in the imagination of most people. You focus on punishing those who live miserable lives anyway.

(I'm not seeing many other threads on Cc publicising events that will make abusers millions. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places. Please point me to the other threads here helping make wife beaters rich)

I watched the bout on YouTube. I thought it was interesting that every time McGregor got stung, his instinctive reaction was to revert to faintly cage fighting tactics before the referee stopped it.

I'd like everyone guilty of beating their partner punished irrespective of wealth,
I didn't think this thread was specifically about making a wife beater rich,
again he was punished for his crime, should he and all partner beaters be continued to be punished for the rest of their lives or again only the rich ones, because if its all, then in that case most the posters on CC would probably be out of a job.

Did I read that correctly?

 

[screenman]

Yep - I think you did...

Wow! That is very sad.

Since the thread has gone here...

Classy.

yes you did, do you really think CC differs greatly from the real world when it comes to domestic violence, its now a hidden crime, with no signs of declining....CC isn't the moral bastion of the internet, where its poster do none of the evils of the real world but I might have been a tad dramatic with the suggestion of half but I've no doubt the percentage would still be on the high side.

About 1.3 million female victim cases of domestic violence, and 716000 male victim cases for the year ending March 2016 These are also ALL domestic abuse cases. Since you're comparing to Mayweather, we can take 75% which are the violent cases. So 1.75 million violent cases

The UK population aged 15 and over (this is as close to adults from ONS data), has the population at just over 15.5 million.

1.75 million victims is 11% of the adult population.

Since 83% of domestic violence abusers have a previous conviction, that accounts for roughly 25% of the UK population.

ALL registered users here are around 40000, that's only 4400 of ALL users ever registered to CC. Since only 25% of the population have a prior criminal offence, those 4400 cases on CC are likely to be committed by 1100 users.

1100 users out of all registered members is actually tiny. 3% in fact. So I'd disagree with you that the percentages would be on the high side. If every post in this thread was made by a unique poster, there would only be 2 offenders.

The real world, and stats disagree with you.

thats a lot of effort to try and prove that CC is the moral bastion of the internet, are all cases of domestic violence recorded, I'm guessing not, it is a hidden crime hence I reckon the numbers might be a tad higher.
anyway 2 offenders too many, if you ask me but you keep going, knock yourself out, and hopefully nobody else.

I'm not saying that CC is the moral bastion of the internet. But out of all the forums I'd use, I'd say is likely to have the lowest percentage of people who meet the characteristic of the typical offender.

Either way, I am merely disputing your claim that a large percentage of CC are offenders. It's interesting that you see research, and evidence to support a claim as a lot of effort. it does go someway to explaining some wildly incorrect sweeping statements you make.

Boxing...anyone?

 

[slowmotion]

really... you can tell this from on anonymous internet site, "it does go someway to explaining some wildly incorrect sweeping statements you make" please see your above post.
you can tell nothing about what people are like or what crimes they are likely to commit from the anonymity allowed by CC.
most people don't even know what crimes are committed by their friends or family,
one other point domestic violence doesn't have a typical offender as much as you like there to be one.

Would you say that you have an overwhelmingly bleak view of the world?

Since 83% have previous convictions. Over 50% of those for a violent crime. I think it's safe to say there's a type of person who Tends to commit these crimes.

You say that I can't tell what crimes people have conmitted, yet a few posts ago you was saying that percentages of offenders would mean there are plenty on here.

Yet those percentages you refer to actually disagree with your statements.
