PROVE YOUR CLAIMS OR RETRACT THEM

Post #1

Post by JoeyKnothead »

THERE IS NO SHAME IN RETRACTING A CLAIM. EITHER PROVE YOUR CLAIMS OR RETRACT THEM.

QUIT IGNORING REQUESTS FOR EVIDENCE. QUIT CHANGING THE SUBJECT. PROVE YOUR CLAIMS.

THIS IS A DEBATE SITE, EXPECT YOUR CLAIMS TO BE QUESTIONED. BE PREPARED TO PROVE YOUR CLAIMS, OR BE PREPARED TO RETRACT THEM.

IT IS HIGHLY IRRITATING TO SEE ALL THIS PREACHING GOING ON, AND FOLKS ACTING DUMBSTRUCK WHEN ASKED FOR EVIDENCE. EITHER YOUR CLAIMS ARE PROVABLE, OR THEY ARE NOT.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PROVE YOUR CLAIMS, RETRACT THEM. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO RETRACT YOUR CLAIMS, THEN DON'T CLAIM STUFF, DUH.

Moved to general chat as there is no debate question.
What we do for ourselves dies with us,
What we do for others and the world remains
and is immortal.

-Albert Pine
Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one persons definition of your life; define yourself.

-Harvey Fierstein
