I was going to start a pit thread for you, 2Thick, but then decided it’s just not worth the trouble. As you obviously do not know what a debate nor a fact is, anything anyone with intelligence would say to you is lost. My citation for that particular assertion is your responses to what’s been said to you in this thread. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by adam yax \* > \*\*I guess that you have not been here long enough to realize that nobody gets a free pass when they post “facts”, unless they are of the 2+2=4 variety, and even then then you may be asked to support your position. Your idea of common knowledge is not the same as mine, or the same as anybody else on these boards, that is why ‘ **Cite?** ’, is a very common refrain here. \*\* Oh, I realized that a long time ago. I just do not care enough to spend my days finding cites on google that anyone can find in 2 seconds. ---
