Once again, you do not support your argument with anything but your |
| 14 |
own word. Don't make me choke on the salt please :) |

Ah, that's assuming your arguments are right, and your arguments |
| 26 |
aren't supported, so I'll take some more salt with this one. |

Once again, rhetoric and insults without logic or reason. We all know |
| 41 |
you know that you need facts to convince people, but you're not |
| 42 |
providing any facts. One can only conclude that your purpose is not to |
| 43 |
convince. I honestly am baffled what purpose you have in mind. |

Excellent, then you are free to point and laugh when we trip and fall. |
| 50 |
In the meantime, if you truly think everyone is making the wrong |
| 51 |
decision, talk with some facts and/or statistics. |
