I don't know who you are, but I know what you are. I've run into people like you all my life, and I've learned not to waste my time.You're only feigning interest in the subject matter. If you had even a minimal threshold of interest, you would, of your own volition, go searching around for additional information. That's what people do who sincerely have an interest in something.
But no, you camaflouge your true interest level (=none), by claiming the lame "I don't have to do anything, you're the one that has to show me proof!"
Well, let's talk about "proof". Like I said above, I know what you are. No amount of proof will be satisfactory for you. How do I know this? Well, besides skipping a discussion, and wanting the proof right now!, you tipped your hand in another way.
See, you require "peer reviewed" proof. Snobbery. And it's your "out".
"Well," says Poohbag, "that's not a recognized peer group."
I once told a friend about a federal law that Congress passed. He didn't believe me. I assured him it was a fact. He asked for proof. I told him I had a photocopy from the United States Code from my local library.
In other words, I had conclusive evidence of my claim.
His reply? Mr. Prove It Me?
"Well, you can't believe everything you read."
You're that guy. Same modus operandi. And same waste of time.
No, I know what you are. You are someone who is quick to throw around arguments, but cannot back them.
And I do know a little about what I am talking about since I am a 3rd-year chemistry major in college.
