Why do I have to rewrite each and every one of my posts specially for this forum?
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
If you don't like that you're in the wrong place.

Think of this as a review panel and you are presenting a thesis.
You have to defend that thesis.
That means you have to be able to word your arguments several different ways to get your meaning down precisely and explain it so there is no confusion over meanings.
You have to be amenable to changing\altering\amending your arguments when contrary evidence is presented.
This is how your argument gets improved.
I suggest you start with a single point, and we'll see how that goes.
Enjoy

Listen buddy I don't have to defend anything from anybody. I'm not on trial here.
I'm trying to be helpful but all you people want to do is argue.

So you want to post any old thing and have us just accept it as "gospel?"
Sorry, the real world doesn't work that way. Nor does this website.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle
If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1
"Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity.
Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view--William F. Buckley Jr.

Sorry I don't read cut and paste. You need to rewrite that in your own words

Listen buddy I don't have to defend anything from anybody. ...
So your thesis is not worth defending. Very well then: you are done. You posted your pile of opinion and fantasy and everyone is free to ignore it or mock it at will.
... I'm not on trial here.
Not you, your thesis is on trial. You need evidence to support it.
I'm trying to be helpful but all you people want to do is argue.
If you aren't willing to defend your argument and show evidence for it, then you are not being helpful. Preaching is not being helpful.
Do you really expect us to take your post without question as gospel truths?
Really?
