Uh oh. I don't like IE and use Chrome. I hope that doesn't mean I'm becoming more violent over time. :biggrinjester:

Go back and retread the chart. It means the exact opposite. As IE use has gone down, so has murder. As a Chrome user, you are part of the downward trend..........IF correlation = causation......which it doesn't.

It has always been my position that using IE will drive a person to violence.

And the antis say the same about owning and carrying of guns. They say just because gun laws are loosened it may correlate to less crime but not be the cause for less crime.

However, I feel much better since I left IE behind a while back.
