People take option 2 when they're beaten and their case has been shown to be implausible and critically lacking.
This is also a popular tactic among right-wing fundamentalists.
And just for shits and giggles...
The amount of ridicule..
This is what happens when someone dares to stand up and think for themselves. Good luck with the government. And make sure to vote for the NeoNazis that runs america at the next opportunity also. I am not going to keep up this discussion in a serious manner when all facts are commented on without ANY background info at all.
Keep in mind, you still have presented precisely ZERO scholarly sources to back up your own viewpoint. Youtube and Google Videos do not count as scholarly sources.
This forum is called "Free Your Mind", but that doesn't mean you can come in here and say anything without a sound viewpoint. I could come in here and say chickens were our overlords in the Stone Age and I'd get laughed out of the place, too. But if I at least had some sort of scholarly (documentary, etc.) evidence that that was indeed the case, people would respond to me in a rational manner. You presented no sources and accused us of ignorance when we challenged that fact. You can't possibly have thought you could walk in here and we'd all suddenly agree based on a couple video links, so don't accuse us of ignorance when all we want to see is some sort of evidence that you actually know what you're talking about.
Someone else will have to take on this fight. I get to frustrated fighting the uneducated masses. Believe the disinformation if you like.
I am done!
Fair enough, if you're tired of the conversation. But don't act like we (those of us trying to debate the point academically) are uneducated. Some of the smartest people I know on both sides of just about every debate there is frequent this message board and discuss thorny issues every day, and it's one of the main reasons I come here, because those people who regularly post know that unless you at least look like you know what you're talking about, you're going to be called out on it. But it's done in a very scholarly manner - if you can't back up what you're saying, then don't say it and don't whine if we come back at you when you do.
I hope you stick around FYM - new opinions are refreshing. But don't be afraid to let us know where you get your facts from. Otherwise we have no compelling reason to believe what you say. Lawyers don't win cases by walking into courtrooms and sayng to the judge "my client is innocent, I rest my case. If you disagree, you are ignorant." They need evidence. If you want us to agree with you, and we're so disinformed and ignorant, shouldn't you want to educate us rather than just taking off in the face of an intellectual challenge?
I really need to get back to work on this paper. Damn this blue crack
