I think you guys are making things up again, and pretending they're true.

But seriously, the way it works is this: Someone makes a statement and supports it the best they can with the facts they have to back it up. Then the next person refutes it BY OFFERING FACTS OR EVIDENCE that may contradict the original poster's opinion. Back and forth it goes. That's the way debates and political discussions are supposed to work, anyway. What you can't do, with any credibility anyway, is pop in with a "No, it isn't" and actually have proven anything, other than registering that you, personally, disagree. It's on BOTH people to present some facts and evidence upon which they have reached their opinion. It's not an either/or thing.

I don't see anyone here asking SSP to back up his claims. Like I said, it's only conservatives that have to "prove" their opinions. Others get a free pass.

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh I'm always willing to explain myself, if it's called for. But there's nothing here to explain. I'm not sure why the three of you are trying to pick a fight with me. I guess you have nothing better to do.
