Good read. Sounds like a decent Freeper vanity. Thanks.

Ran into that just this week and today. I made a statement something life the negative effects of the liberal ethos are abundantly manifest , linking to an web page i began years ago (no longer much added to anymore) with extensive findings from dozens of established researchers.

The response to which has been that the "blog" (its a web page with no adds, or pop ups or any malicious code and has been posted here dozens of times with no complaints, nor in the approx 15 years it has been online) crashed "several browsers (crashed their fantasy), and was not providing objective research.

Yet this was part of a debate with "Christians" who utterly reject that the Bible supports physical discipline for kids (not as abuse or peevish anger), in which the only source they provided were fallacious statements from the NY times, which the poster did not even give attribution for.

And they resent being called liberals, and ganged up on me along with atheists and a Universalist, none of whom could could refute what i showed them from Scripture.

The atheist even asserted that the Bible stated that a child could be beaten to death. Oh yes, that is objective reasoning.

On the other hand, healthy skepticism is a good thing.

The more extraordinary the claim the greater the proof required.

It’s *ALWAYS* up to the person making the claim to prove it, never to the other party to disprove a darn thing.

Nothing says clueless idiot like using arguments such as ‘you can’t DISPROVE it’ or ‘If you disbelieve then what DID happen/is the case?”.

100 percent up to the person making an argument to provide proof, and not just merely a hypothesis that cam’t be disproven.

In other words, you make bombastic claims with nothing to substantiate them other than hyperbole, and accuse those foolish enough to read you in the first place of assigning “homework” in the form of backing up your ridiculous assertions. Sorry, son, but you and your kind are the clods that make persuasive discussion on the internet impossible.

Call these jerks the homework-givers.

I've seen the needle; YOU look through THIS haystack for it!
