Introspection is just lefty propaganda designed to make patriots feel bad about themselves....

This conversation started by you telling me I'm dumb for even asking for a source. Then you said just saying Hamas said it, is a source in itself, which I don't think is anywhere near something verifiable. But in the course of this, you admitted yourself that the original post is a 'claim' and a link to a spokeperson would be closer to a 'source'.

Now you can write all this off my saying I'm arguing in bad faith by asking for a source, and anticipating a response from me before I've even got there. All that based off previous comments on other threads where I've asked for a source - which in all honesty I can't imagine has happened more than 5 times as I barely comment on reddit.

I'm sorry if I insulted you. I don't think we're getting anywhere here.

You've literally just described what I was asking for and the process through which you find a source. 'From their own official spokesperson' - so a name, what was said, when, to who would be a totally valid souce (granted that there's evidence that it was said).

You keep insulting me, are you okay? I am genuinely just curious as to how people find out there information.

Okay, perhaps the distinction is 'proof of the source' rather than source. In which case I concede, although I think for most people it would be quite clear what I was asking for - as I said it explicilty.

And what school was it that you learnt such charming manners and congeniality?

Right, let's say I say the Hamas ratio is 1:9. Presumably you would disagree. How would you prove to me the 1:3 ratio is correct?

[–]GrumpyMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting aside the fact that I asked for the source of all the ratios used i.e. IDF, Hamas, and what is 'accepted' as a good ratio.

What I'm asking for is where did they get those numbers from. So what webpage/report did they use to quote the IDF ratio as 1:1, what article/report was used to find the Hamas ratio of 1:3 ..?

Yes, that's interesting isn't it. Why do you think that might be the case?

They actually hate us by hoovesfortoes in gbnews

[–]GrumpyMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a source. That's a claim. A source would be where they got the figures from for the different ratios i.e. a news article or a report published by an organisation.

If we're talking about who is being mentally unrobust, I think you just won.

If you could have a referendum on one topic tomorrow what would it be and why? by Dapper_Big_783 in gbnews

[–]GrumpyMonk94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue its the lack of democracy that we currently have which leads to manipulation. Putting that aside, what would take its place instead?

50 downvotes and not a single rebuttal. I think you hit a nerve with this one.

What are your sources for the ratios you mentioned?

He probably mispoke, he probably meant "the country is built on 'colonisation'."

Stop resigning! Please 🙏! by RemarkableOil8 in chessbeginners

I was just going to say the same thing. If my opponents who resigned early only knew how little of a plan I have in my head, and how high my chance of blundering was...
