No "maybe there is bias and lies".........simply there is!

As Morlac pointed out, the "studies" you linked to are not studies at all but merely opinion pieces and anecdotal stories.

Should there be any valid scientific and verifiable studies then I'd be most happy to have a look at them. Though I have no actual opinion on the validity of the studies as yet(and therefore nothing to "make a difference to), should they stand up to scrutiny I would be most happy to stop wondering about their validity.

Two personal anecdotal examples with no way of verifying if they are truthful or not........strike me down with a feather I'm convinced!

Seriously though, for every example of that nature you can give I can give one of someone who just wants free stuff and has no intention of buying or donating anything.

Cheers,
