"Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis"

This fits what I said PERFECTLY. You used a casual observation about Paris' murder rate and their liberilism to draw a conclusion about our murder problem in the U.S. A totally and completely meaningless comparison.

It is fun for you to play word games though. A lot easier than discussing the issues I suppose. I'm not going to go any further with my use of the word anecdotal. You may think your comparison is a "rigorous or scientific analysis", but I feel strongly that it is not.
