Does anyone have any proof for anything they post in this forum? - Page 5 - New England Patriots Forums

The proof is in the pudding. (See: Bill Cosby.)

It is pretty hilarious in here. Everyone just makes crap up. Sometimes a garbage source is stamped onto the post, usually a writer of some sort and most likey a democrat.

I think you just have a bit of trouble distinguishing fact from opinion. A fact would be something like 'Brady completed 92.9% of his passes last night.' Somebody actually jotted down how many passes he threw and how many were caught, did the math and published the stat. That's objective and can't be argued. Something like 'Brady's a great leader,' is always going to be opinion. Even though the vast majority of people hold it as an opinion, its still just an opinion. Even if you were to back up your opinion that Brady's a great leader by staying that he completed 92.9% of his passes last night, you still haven't changed it from an opinion to a fact.

I also think you expect a bit too much from this forum. You can't just seek out data someplace and copy/paste it into your brain and instantly develop a political stance from it. Which is what I think you're trying to do in here. This place is useful for people who've already become familiar with a particular topic and now wish to refine or enhance that knowledge. At first glance this forum appears to be about one side trying to slay the other side; but if you visit enough, you'll find that only a few take that position. It'll take a while; but you'll learn who they are and learn how to take their words in context.
