Anything controversial means flame war. Say D6MRD and someone apparently counted the bodies at the front door of Auschwitz in 1945. Talk about taxes and that few dirty little secrets about that and someone claims to have a law that makes it all null and void despite the fact that the IRS itself cannot do so. Talk in support of the death penalty and the opponents thereof would shoot you. Tout our unique gun rights and they similarly want to shoot you.

Describe an incident where you shot an intruder in your home and people think you made it up because they didn't see it on TV. Talk about a less than perfect relatioship and the respondants' deal breakers must become your deal breakers or you are a moron, or stupid or something. Talk about fixing your car and some expert would no doubt pop up telling you that you need a trained professional. Talk about a court case you won and the fact that you are not in jail is not good enough proof.

And proof is in the eye of the beholder. I offer proof you can see and actually hold in your hand and I get called a bigot, and additionally the offer itself was insulting in some way. No, we need links. The internet is God apparently. Well kiddies let me reveal something to you. I know how to edit webpages. I could get some hosting, register a dot org domain and take pages from just about any source and edit them, making it say whatever the hell I want. The only clue you would have is the actual URL and if I do a good enough job at that, the friendly URL function of the browser will take care of the rest and you would never know. It is not difficult. I also have a program that allows me to print on any government letterhead. So what is really proof ?

No document would be good enough unless it's a certified copy, OK. Now how do I feel the notary stamp on it via the internet ? What's more I have access to one of those squishers. Now what's proof ?

And I am not the only one either. Many of us have recieved ads via junkmail that look like official documents, it's just one of those marketing tools. Look at how many people fell for mortgage sale scan so many years ago. I mean I can make money with a laser printer. Open up a bank account with a DBA. Send out about three or four hundred notices in the mail, telling people that their mortgage has been purchased and they now will need to make their payments to ___________________. If ten of them bite and I run the scam for eight months I could make alot of money. And don't worry about the paper trail, all I need is a bum with a picture ID and my name need never come into play. Just pay the guy to do it and voila.

There are a plethora of things I could do. The Micheal Rodent case proves it. That wasn't the guy's name but I bet I could come up with that one. He just went to an office supply store, bought a bunch of blank W2 forms and typed them up, netting him millions. What's more he started doing it again from his prison cell. At the trial for the second bunch of charges his lawyer said "You might as well let him out because you're obviously not rehabilitating him". So, yes, I believe I could prove that via a Google search, but for what reason ? It has nothing to do with the real income tax issue and is fraud plain and simple.

But then how do I prove certain things that never went to court ? I could prove that I got sued for $353,000 in 1978 or 79, because my Mother has run across the original papers. All that proves is having the right lawyer is priceless. But the best victories over the system usually results in something getting thrown out of court. So how does one prove that ?

I don't know. Some think their word is the word of God and cannot be questioned because of their credentials, yet debate global warming, which has both sides of the issue bearing plenty of credentials. What then ? My experts are better than your experts ? But I need to STFU because "I have been told". Shit like that is so hubristic and condescending that it defies my vocabulary of adjectives.

And then we have those who engage in post hoc ergo propter hoc thinking. As if I could prove I got a big dick proves that I am good in bed. And who's to say the sexy supermodel doesn't just lay there like a heap of rags ? And what would constitute proof either way, a video ?

And then even with cites, some say "That site is biased" and they usually go on to deride said site as bigoted, slanted, opinionated or just plain lying. And then a discrepancy between Fox news and CBS news is proof of a consipracy, yet proof of the absence of a conspiracy.

Sadly all of this is evidence that I have overestimated the average intelligence of those here. But still I don't take it as actual proof.

The skeptics simply don't realize that I am alot more skeptical than they.
