Just because there is no evidence of something doesn't make it false, and if you dismiss what I think because my view is supported by no evidence then you are close-minded.
Being open-minded means agreeing with everything I think, not matter how comical, facially false and devoid of evidence.
Asking for evidence is shutting down the truth.
Think what would have happened to other controversial ideas if the naysayers had demanded evidence.
Evolution? The heliocentric model of the solar system? The Earth being roughly spherical?
Obviously there is no evidence for any of these controversial propositions, but that doesn't make them any less deserving of respect.
If I say something and you ask for evidence you are calling me a liar.
Why isn't my bare assertion of the implications of my emotional state sufficient proof? To say it is not is to is to dismiss my person-hood.
I said it. I believe it, That settles it.

Anonymous pisses them off far worse than Rove does.

I don't even believe this, get that through your head, the reaction to it is far, far more interesting than the substance such as it is.

(11,198 posts)ludricous. Anon is not that fucking stupid. They made a claim -- we can choose to believe or not. But to insist they provide evidence, it a waste of breath. If they wanted to PROVE their claims, they would have provided evidence in the first place. Clearly, they are not interested in proving anything. They simply stated a claim and they probably don't give a rats ass if we believe them or not.
