By the same token, honest people tend to believe that everyone else is honest.
In over 12 years of reading and posting on this forum, I can't remember ever disbelieving anyone. I have disagreed a LOT, but I don't remember ever disbelieving.

well, it seems that in all your years, you should have learned more than that, and thats pretty simpleminded also.
Some things you clearly haven't learned are-
A. How to enjoy a calm rational discussion like an adult
B. How to explain yourself consistently, and how to back up an argument when it is totally at odds with everything else you've ever said.
C. How to cite evidence and provide supporting date
D. How to fully read or understand what other people say to you and respond appropriately
E. How to maintain or at least appear as if you have the maturity and dignity of someone of your age
as usual.
Now, im not going to pretend that this ridiculous thread is'nt because I challenged your interestingly questionable anecdote in another thread, and that put your panties in a bunch. Why don't you go back to that thread, respond like an adult and a man of your age should, describe the situation which surrounded your anecdote, and make us all believers. That would be a nice change of pace from all this noise. At that point, if it becomes clear that the implication that the anecdote didn't happen was incorrect, you will receive an apology for implying so. Ill be back in a week to check to see if you surprise me.
