Dear Mr. Obama

[quote name='fidei defensor' post='1690836' date='Nov 2 2008, 03:07 AM']Wow, you're personal experience is supposed to convince me that a majority of the military is going to vote McCain? Fail. You may be in the military, but you are also biased because you are heavily against Obama.

I'm not saying that it's not possible that this is the case. I'm saying that no one has provided a credible source to show this. Arguments without proof are called [b]opinions[/b].[/quote]
I was offering you one point of view. You can take it or leave it, it's up to you.

Frankly, I think it's ridiculous for anyone to assume Obama could possibly win the military vote anyway.

[quote name='fidei defensor' post='1690170' date='Oct 31 2008, 06:57 PM']Of course, you have yet to provide a source for these statistics. Someone on another thread did, and I questioned the accuracy of those stats based on sampling representation and the voluntary nature of the survey.[/quote]

You should rename yourself Mr. Smarty.

I'm not assuming that. What I'm doing is pressuring you to provide more than opinions.

Why? Because I don't just accept things based on opinions and want actual proof? [i]Oh, the horror.[/i]

um.
I was making a joke. You know, a humorous saying or story.

Everybody seems to be in a testy mood in this thread for some reason.

I like it here.

[Saint Therese]

I know what you mean.
Yes, tensions are high. The stakes are set.
The game is about to begin.

It would be funny if it wasn't true that some people around here seem to think that opinions = arguments.

[Saint Therese]

Yes. But this is a CAtholic forum. You should expect Catholic biases when you're here. We welcome evryone, but surely you must realize that the main reason we're here is to strenghten each other in our Faith.

Objection.

Quoting someone's opinion within a specific demographic is dependable for a sampling of some of the opinions circling that particular demographic.

Altough you are right in some ways, it can be warped for outrageous poll-stuffing and opinion baiting.

Hint, Hint.

I'd vote for whoever gave me ice cream. If it were chocolate.

I don't have a problem with you having your beliefs, but that doesn't lessen the need to provide evidence for you assertions.

The reason most of here don't "provide evidence for our assertions" is that we KNOW the Truth.
That and we're all looney.

Charity Saint Therese, just because we know the truth means we have to explain it to them. Otherwise they'll just ignore it as baseless.
