They should change #1 from "Never check if a quote is real, just post it" to-"Never check to see your facts are real, just post them."

I've seen a lot of 'facts' that look like they came from Bazooka Joe bubble gum wrappers.
 
Hey guys, I've played this game for 25 years. I NEVER chase my tail linking "proof" of a claim when asked. It's a fool's errand.
For starters, the demand isn't sincere. Leftwingers don't really care about so-called proof. Only an extremist leftwing source is acceptable them, and they aren't going to be truthful in the least. Then, in the event you have an acceptable source, then the goalposts will be moved. Trust me on this I've won every debate I've had with a leftwinger.

Posting "facts" without checking them is ridiculous.

Not looking into whether a claim is accurate or not is part of the game. On these forums people will claim all sorts of shit. rupol2000 claims heroin is good for you and that smoking does not cause health issues. Do we take that as fact?

I love #5. I have a lot of fun with the trumptards just by challenging them to prove their latest idiotic claims. Back and forth we go, round and round.

I had one idiot who claimed that what he wrote was true because "it was out there". Fun!

The other thing is leftwingers know better than to challenge me on facts now, so I don't have to provide links. When they do challenge me, they get egg on their faces. The Slow Horse's Ass guy hasn't been around long enough to know this, I guess.
