Obama spanks Wall Street.

You should reread my post - I stated that there wasn't "concrete" evidence. Then supported my claim with several links from the mul-tit-ude of sources available.

Oh, and using the same link as I doesn't really support your case. Especially if you read more than just the first few lines.

Then there isn't evidence.

I accept your surrender in this matter.

Fail.

Oh, okay.

So when you ask me for a link, and I say, "well, there's no actual evidence for my position, you'll just have to believe me", you won't see anything wrong with that?

Right?

[TheMercenary]

Ask around. See what others think.

Oh, okay, so the facts of a given event are dictated by the opinions of some people on an internet political forum?

Is that what you're saying?

You're entitled to your opinion, and to express it here. In fact, we welcome it. Helps get to know you better.

If you try passing off your opinion as fact, you're going to get dropped on though. That's pretty fair warning.

Best to provide links from credible sources to support the views you offer as fact if someone asks.

[TheMercenary]

Absolutely not. Never said that.

What I said was when you state,

"So when you ask me for a link, and I say, "well, there's no actual evidence for my position, you'll just have to believe me", you won't see anything wrong with that?"

Ask around and see what others think about your statement.

Unless you're on the right, when you can just say you don't have evidence, but everyone has to believe you anyway.

Or words to that effect.

Well, I'm not a right leaning person. Definitely more liberal than conservative, but I don't have a problem with discussions here where my conservative friends get on their high horses and start sprouting horns and stuff. They're all pretty reasonable most of the time, and when they're not, I usually just stop talking to them, or start cracking jokes. We all have that right. I don't think any of them think I'm stupid for my views though, and I don't think they'd think that of anyone else either.

Sure, things get heated sometimes, and people start getting personal, but it blows over.

The important thing to remember is, the conservatives are always wrong, even if they don't realize it. It's our job as liberals to guide them through the murky waters of life to ultimate enlightenment.

YOU'RE WRONG Ali! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I believe that like I believe that all liberals are socialists cloaked in clothing none of them can recognize each other by. Wait. That might be true. Ok, carry on.
