It will take a more concerted effort by everyone to counter societal ills that foment this kind of act.

And as you know from the links that I provided, the study by Lee and Suardi has been refuted.

Any more discredited research that you guys would like to cite, since you are 0 for 2 so far in providing substantive research which supports your position?
