Quote me! I do rememeber quoting a police officer that 70% of Dutch-Moroccans in Amsterdam have a criminal past. I later on, specified that it concerns 70% of Dutch-Moroccan youth and does not aplly to all Moroccan. but in the mean time I waiting for the quote where I state that 70% of all criminals in Amsterdam are Moroccan.

My bad - the statistic FD made up was the one highlighted below - I got the labels the wrong way round. But it was still proved to be a made-up statistic - 70% of Moroccans in Amsterdam are not criminals, as claimed.

Happy to help.

Oh, the irony.

But it must have been very uncomfortable reading to re-visit your invented statistic. How many days and how many posts did it take you to admit that this statistic wasn't real?

Note here's your mea culpa:

Flying Dutchman wrote:For Amsterdam, a journalist quoted the Amsterdam police saying 70% of young Moroccans in Amsterdam have a criminal past. So, my previous statements regarding 70 and 80% were not completely correct.

What confuses me though - is why you guys set yourself up for all this embarrassment. Did you not know I'd quote back your words for you, and show up a thread where there were multiple invented and exaggerated statistics?

Cheers,
Shafique

The self proclaimed rogue statistic slayer!

The refrain from throwing around rogue statistics or out of context quotes to avoid getting slayed

You come across as a little angry man in your posts. If specialists had to conduct a behaviour analysis pattern we would probably establish that you were bullied at school.

I would disagree with the specialists, I dont think you ever attended school.

Believe me, I wouldn't use English at all. The only reason why I use it, is just to communicate with people who don't speak my language. I rather need to improve my Persian language!

Anyways, I think learning different languages makes life more joyful, and peaceful

I don't think spellcheckergirl is criticising you Sym, your English seems fine to me, better than the English written by the English probably!
