tbf i think you'd say that about anything

It's true about anything.

This idiot is talking about outliers like nuclear war, while also criticizing outliers like Iraq. After forgetting to adjust by population.

f**k you Hurf. You're full of shit.

I guess we're forgetting about that time when I gave you a database of the last 3700 wars in history, complete with biographical information, parties involved and multiple academic sources per incident.

Idiot.

You can't even load up a spreadsheet and analyze the data, and you want me to take you seriously? After you've been proven wrong on the majority of claims presented?

f**k off Hurf.

You did not such thing. You pasted a download link for an excel document from Centre for Global Economic History at Utrecht University. I'm nearly convinced that you didn't even bother to review it yourself, hence the fact that you only copy and pasted the download link not knowing that there was not a single academic source cited within the entirety of the document and there was an egregious absence of data; the military casualties, E, and total casualties, F, are constantly empty, such as in the case with Galt's go to, WWII, in which both E and F are left empty. Such is why you were unable to present the relevant data yourself. You don't appear to even know what you linked to.

I shouldn't have sent you the raw data. That was a mistake, as you don't know how to interpret raw data, or even simple graphs. It is too much for you to wad through and you get confused by all the numbers and letters that jump back and forth between rows and columns and tabs and oh my.

Let me get back to you with a suitably juvenile source. I'll try to find something with bright colours and large lettering and no multi-sheet workbooks.

Edit: Here, this isn't too complicated for you. I know that it has alot of words and stuff but I think you can probably handle it. Let me know when you are done not reading it, as per the last source provided.

Alternatively: http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/ ... t-overview

Alternatively: Joshua Goldstein's Winning the War on War. This is a book but you can find adequate summaries online.

Alternatively: Go look at PIROs conflict datasets. I will gladly teach you how to use Excel if you want to do this.

Alternatively: Azir Gats "Is war declining - and why?" This one is good because it goes over about a dozen other studies, all but one of which claims that war is declining. First after the advent of the state, and then again over the past two centuries.
