Prove to me you can handle the truth.

Or else search my posts and find the proof I've always posted with my statements.
You have never posted PROOF of anything... you post this list and want us to run and do your work for you. You want us to draw the same conclusions you have drawn instead of you doing the work that you should be doing to make an argument.

I take it that you've never won a formal argument before or if you have, your opponent was weak. A formal argument is more than unsubstantiated rumors or innuendo, which is all you post. A formal argument is a multi-step process by which one establishes credibility. One establishes credibility to citing research from academically respected individuals.

Any moron can find an article through Google that says what they want it to say. A true intellectual researches the issue and provides citations from credible sources. You haven't done that. You are doing the academic equivalent of whining.

Good luck with that though. Sadly no one is buying it.
