So you have no research to back up your statement?
We are supposed to accept all aphorisms as proven facts?
ABe
You did say there was emerging research. Was that a lie?

Correct, but not sure why Chuckie is jumping all over a call for evidence.

if you had any skillz at debating you would provide evidence to refute an unsupported claim, rather than using the evc cop-out and ask for supporting evidence
It is not our responsibility to search for evidence to refute claims. It is the responsibility of the person presenting the claim to provide the evidence.
If you had any skills at debating you would provide evidence to support a claim.
Throwing out unsupported claims then demanding someone provide the evidence to refute it is a a lazy cop out.
attacking a claim and the evidence is a weak-sauce argument, using by posters who can't really come up with anything on their own to refute something.
We are talking about when there is no evidence.
In the words of Christopher Hitchens.
quote:
that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

You see how I did not just assert that this was an actual Hitchens quote? I actually provide the source so that you and everyone else can read it in context.

Let me get this straight.
Poster 1
Posts assertions with no evidence.
Therefore, excellent debater.
Poster 2
Asks for evidence for the assertion.
Therefore, lazy.
Sounds like Bizarro World to me.
So in your crazy world it is incumbent upon people to show an unevidenced assertion is false before the asserter has to show any evidence at all for the assertion?
