Yeah, I'm not spending an hour searching for you. The reports are out there if you want to find them.

Well you tend to make a lot of hyperbolic and politically-biased statements so I'm inclined to not believe what you say unless you have some evidence.

And I've been down this rabbit hole before and done research for people, looked up scientific papers, and presented my findings. I typically get one of the following:

"Go read this other paper or textbook. I'm not responding to your response to the first citation until you do."

"Even if you pointed out a major flaw in my premise, you didn't refute it point by point. Your critique is not sufficient."

"Your response to the paper rests on different philosophical premises than the paper. Prove your premises are better. Do it using their premises."

I've sometimes crafted detailed responses citing sources point by point. And I've been burned again and again.

Well, this is saidit, not reddit.

To me it sounds like you're making excuses. In the time you typed all that up, I bet you could've found a source or two. You don't even try to back up your point.

That's because a ton of articles came out about it at the time. Backed up by PDFs from .gov. I'm not spending an hour out of my day finding them for you only to be dismissed.

So you have nothing, just empty partisan talking points. Got it.

Oh, I could spend an hour tracking down references for you. This happened. I just won't.

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Amazing how you can never actually argue your point or back anything up.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I do it all the time. I just ain't gonna do it here. You go search .gov sites for an hour, I guarantee the references are there.

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I do it all the time.

I look forward to next time then, when you present evidence for your talking points

Would it be possible to search through your own posts on other sites? I'm interested in some sources as well. Can search for terror(ist|ism) probably

Makes unsupported claim, doesn't back it up, says the reports are out there.
