Then they should be complaining that the meme uses derogatory language.
No, it doesn't make it ok because somebody else does it or that the blame should be on the party that did it first. That's an argument a five year old might think is clever; nobody here thinks it is. You have an opportunity to learn here. Will you take it or will you continue to blame others for your poor behavior?
It does however highlight how the user and you don't really care about the use of language and merely use it as an excuse to attack me because I don't conform to your agenda on prostitution legality.
If we're using your source, you should be for legalizing prostitution in some places such as the USA because it reduces trafficking. Tell me again, which of us has the agenda?
The study looks at both the supplying countries and the legalizing countries, before and after, and found that there is a direct increase in human trafficking as a result of legalization. How would that ever be an advocacy for legalization? Psychopath.
No, we've been over this, it does not show a direct increase. Average is the word they used. If you keep repeating the same wrong thing, it doesn't suddenly become correct.
You can't just say "nuh uh" and look away. Both with words and on the multiple graphs show increase as a result of legalization.
If you can't even count, I don't see a reason to listen to anything else you have to say on intelligent. There are two graphs in the paper you cited, the one that I've posted in another comment (figure 1) and a pie chart of prostitution regimes in appendix C. The former shows some places have the substitution effect overshadow the scale effect and it some places the opposite occurs. The latter is a pie chart that doesn't have a dependent variable.
There is 1 Figure, 3 Tables, and 3 Appendices which includes a Pie Chart.
So one singular graph?
Maybe you got some other things wrong, too.
Technically none of them are labelled graph, so zero, but I was including the tables and appendices.
It's not the label that makes something a graph. Including tables and charts that are data but do not show a relationship into the things that support your conclusions is incorrect. You claimed to have a preponderance of evidence where what you had was one incorrectly interpreted graph. Do you understand why I called you out on that?
