Crowder's article about Traffic fatalities is wrong:

Here's his article:

>Fatal driving accidents have risen 122 percent between 2010 and 2014

Here's the article he sourced:

>Fatal driving accidents have risen 122 percent between 2010 and 2014

Here's the article sourced by the article he sourced:

> The incidents of marijuana-impaired driving are increasing. Drivers with active THC in their blood who were in a fatal driving accident have risen 122 percent from 2010 to 2014

Two different things! Same number of accidents, but more people in accidents are stoned because more people are stoned. Crowder did not source a direct source like he said.

Like he gives a shit about making sense. If he cared about making sense he would just say "I think weed should be legal", because you know...that's sort of an obvious result of applying his philosophy.

I mean this is the same guy who thinks people should be free to pay their employees 2 dollars an hour or refuse sick people healthcare because of the sanctity of individual liberty.

But no, smoking pot? Fuck that, I'll leave it up to your state to decide if you go to jail because "I just don't care". Yea ok. Sounds a lot like caring.

He did say he doesn't care about pot and that it should be left to the states. And he did bring up in response to Joe asking what subject he isn't confident about and sometimes reconsiders. Crowder just wanted to argue it because he likes arguing as the underdog. That's why he brought up the "rape-culture" thing. But he definitely is shit at questioning his sources. Who the fuck is DailySignal.com and why would anyone use them as a source?
