I dismiss your facts because I am too lazy to see if it has any bearing to my final opinion. I just don't like how it calls into question my theory

Instead I will reply as to what your definition of "is" is. Then dismiss your whole argument.

Facts are for cowards who lack the strength of their convictions for argument.

Well if your verifiable fact is really an anom source, then those DVs are warranted. The "verifiable fact" has been abused by both sides over there.

By "verifiable fact" I was referring to verifiable facts. By definition, "anom" sources don't fall under that umbrella. Sorry if I was unclear.

Personally I think that's when this site started going downhill is when they implemented it. It stifles conversation and people begin to be too big of pussies to actually post.

It did cut a down a lot of the "u mad" and "+1" posts. Other than that I agree with you.

Then you are not there enough. They list stuff as fact and use stories from the media as their proof to that fact. Most of those stories are based off unnamed sources.

So those DVs are still warranted.

Again, you miss the point. I am not referring to those examples of non-verifiable facts that you are going on about. I'm referring to verifiable facts. Those being facts that can be demonstrably proven. I agree that people often post nonsense that can't be backed up. That isn't what I'm talking about.

Do you agree that facts exist? Yes? Do you believe that some facts can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt? Yes? Well, those are the facts I'm referring to. Not the un-verified facts you keep attempting to introduce to my comments.

I don't downvote. I think it's bitchmade.

Downvotes are for fat men, men with little penises, and men with fat wives

On a daily basis have the top two downvoted posters meet at Sonic. Knuckle check and then get after it. Should thin the herd fairly quick.
