We have seen the answer to that question many many times.

But it doesn't work both ways

You stated, and I quote, that you "wanted to determine the accuracy of my claims." You have the same internet access I do. Feel free to do the work involved to determine such.

As it stands, it is becoming increasingly obvious that your motive is not to determine accuracy, or to learn and become informed, but simply to throw around challenges and troll.

If you are not motivated enough to find the answers to your own questions, it is no one's responsibility but your own. It would be my suggestion, if you want to engage in productive discussion and exchange of information, they you find those answers prior to attempting discussion. You will then be capapble of actually engaging in discussion from an informed perspective instead of having to play silly, adolescent games to cover your gaps.

That is not exactly precedent, the SC could still go either way. That is why I tell people to have a plan for either decision and be prepared to capitalize if the SC upholds the law.

Why, pray tell, would that not be considered legal precedent? It is a legal decision made regarding the same question before the Federal Supreme Court. That is what precedent consists of. Previous legal decision regarding similar legal matters.

Meh, people are attempting to engage in discussion. Personally, I see making claims and refusing to back them up as an adolescent game. In my experience people who are on "up and up" and seeking intelligent conversation are willing to support their claims.

As I said early if you don't want to support your claims that is your choice. No reason to go on and on about it.

**shrug** You stated that you "wanted to verify the accuracy". You are finding 1001 ways not to do that.

I ssupported my claims. You can, too, if you will simply find the motivation to make a bit of effort. I don't see it forthcoming, however. As expected.

Come back when you have made the effort, and we will be able to engage in productive discussion. Until then, the merry go round has stopped.

No need, I merely asked a member if they could support their position. If she is unwilling, that is her choice.

Nope, you said you "wanted to verify the accuracy". That puts the ball squarely in your court.

I have already supported my claims. You are just having to exert effort to find it and you aren't up to the task. Maybe you can find someone else to do your work for you. It won't be me.

There have been court findings siding with both sides. I don't think the SC is going to feel bound by either.
 
Personally, any posts that I read about public current events that aren't backed up with a reliable source, I dismiss. I'm sure that I'm not the only one.

When I make my posts about such events, I try to include at least a link to the source so no one has to search for the information (unless they want to do additional research).

I consider it perfectly reasonable to request supporting information to statements that purport to be factual. If someone says, "This is my opinion," that's a different matter.

No one said they were bound. I said it sets precedence. And a finding in a higher court, which this was, carries much more weight as a precedent than a finding in a lower court, for obvious reasons.

Your choice. In fact, I have provided sources for the claims I have made regarding health care reform. If you, or anyone else, chooses not to access those sources, then that is your choice. Knowlege doesn't come with a link. Sometimes you have to make a bit of an effort to locate it. Telling you where to find it should be sufficient if you are motivated to find the answers. If you aren't motivated, oh well. That falls directly on your shoulders. I personally, find the unwillingness to exert a bit of effort unreasonable. If you have questions, the answers are more readily available now than at any other time in history. No one is being asked to go to the local library and search through micro fiche for hours on end. The lack of personal responsibility for stating that you "want" to veryfiy something, and then the refusal to make the effort to do so is no less than refusing to satisfy your own "wants" simply because you need to make a bit of effort to do so. That tells me that either you simply are not truly interested in finding the answers to your own questions, or your demands that others do it for you are empty challenges borne of an inactive mind.

And the "you" I am referring to is the generalized "you".

Wow, dude, exaggerate much? Wait...I know the answer to that one. You exaggerate everything, including that 164 IQ. Maybe if you started telling the truth instead of purposely exaggerating and blowing out of proportion, you would have some credibility.:laugh2:

I'm not the one that claimed to have an IQ of 164. You did. And then you conveniently disappeared for a few days when you were called on it, thinking everyone would just forget about it.

BTW...where is that sheriff and that state highway patrolman you were going to have come on the forum to get your back? And what year was it that Newt taught your history class?

:laugh2::laugh2: You are pathetic.

airportcop has you pegged. :laugh2:

He also used the word "narcissist" correctly.

When asked for a link supporting what you have claimed- your answer is what is generally called a "cop out".

Troll!

I've told everyone where to find the information they seek. If they choose not to access it, it is not my problem.

You calling someone a troll, when your posts show that the only reason you are in this thread is to try to start a silly little argument with me?:laugh2:

Find a therapist and deal with your tendency to hold onto grudges. :cool2:

Woudn't she first need to provide a reliable link proving she is right?

She has been asked several times already.

Again, everyone has been told where to find the information. And anyone with the IQ you claim to have shouldn't need to be spoon fed through a link.:laugh2:

So, why don't you go to the source I provided and find something to add to the discussion instead of playing your silly little games?

I found it quite easily and I will attempt to read as much of it as I can.
