[http://wondermark.com/1k62/ Sometimes] it's so hard to get people to back up their statements.

:Indeed. It appears that you think people should back up their statements, to your satisfaction. Where did you get that? It's one thing to question what people say (it's quite normal), but it is quite another to demand proof, unless you are a defense attorney and even then, badgering or sea-lioning a witness is not a great strategy. It irritates the judge and jury. And if you say that to the judge, duck, because he or she will throw the book at you. | |||
:But you get to be "right." They can't take a joke. They won't stand up and defend what they believe. They are wrong. | |||
:You have the capacity to recognize how ludicrous your arguments are. What you may not realize is that by repeating them, you keep yourself trapped, all the while you *think* you are above that, you are not. They are just arguments, you say, what's the big deal? | |||
:No big deal. Eat them, because they are what you live with. The brain is programmable, and it is programmed largely with what you say. | |||
