I agree, I find it immensely irritating when people don't provide any evidence or support for their argument (and I use that term loosely), they just say, "Oh, you wouldn't understand it," or, "You've obviously never been in my position or you wouldn't think that way."Why don't these people just concede that there is no logical or factual basis for their position, they just go with "their gut" or the prevailing winds where they live?
I would like to add to this, "Or says, "You don't get it 'cause you're just a kid," in place of justifying their position with data, facts, logic, etc.

Tautomer, I wholeheartedly agree with you. For me a statement without validation is a non-argument.And if someone states their opinion, it'd be a pity if they'd refuse to explain further when I ask "why, how or can you prove it" as I'm genuinely interested in their reasons and motives behind their views. (** I'm talking about in general and in real life, not pointing to anybody here. In fact, it's the first time I visit this place. Cheers.  ) IP: Logged | |
