No? Why?
Because you don't have to disprove outageous claims.

I claim that all human beings are all pretty capable of being good or bad - REGARDLESS of any group affiliation.
Why does that strike you as an outrageous claim that needs proof?
To me becoming a better person by tacking an ( R ) or ( D ) after your name seems a pretty outrageous claim - as does the idea that all the good or bad peoole gravitate towards on party or the other.
Your reality may vary..
I didn't say I didn't believe them, and I didn't say your claim was outrageous. If your ability to draw conclusions from "experience" is as bad as your ability to draw conclusions about what you read, then your opinion ain't worth shit. I didn't say none of that crap. All I did was ask you to put your money where your mouth was regarding the value of anecdotal evidence. Given that my merely asking the question has you squealing like a stuck pig, I'm going to take a wild guess and say the answer is no, you won't put your money where your mouth is. Is that correct?
Clumsy dodge there.
You are in the defense.

Feel free to quote where I said either of those things, dipshit. You're obviously full of nothing but crap and moronic comebacks like this. You're well on your way to being ignored.
Are you going to answer the question, or is this dodge all that you have?

Absolutely. Social media is the new town square and I don't want people censored, even when it's something as ridiculous and stupid as Qanon. You start down that path and soon enough it's you that's being censored.
I think the Hunter Biden emails are legit and I think it's very dangerous to start censoring news outlets. Twitter has even backtracked now and admitted that they were wrong.
Cut the crap. This isn't about censorship. It's about unchallenged bullshit.
You're incredibly naive if you think this is like a Speakers Corner, where people can speak their mind to their heart's content. The echo chambers present in 'social' media is unprecedented, and this is only exacerbated by the algorithms behind the 'social' media platforms that skew what you're presented with. Most people have no filter and take stuff at face value. A good litmus test if something is likely bullshit (and certainly unsubstantiated) is if it appeals to emotions.
The bullshit is so steep now, that we've far moved away from using substantiated debate, and into woo woo land.

Quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is investigating whether emails that were published by the New York Post related to Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, are connected to a possible Russian influence operation to spread disinformation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The newspaper said in its story Wednesday that it had obtained a hard drive from Rudy Giuliani containing the emails, and that the messages were found on a laptop that had been left last year at a Delaware computer repair shop for service but never retrieved.
The unlikely account of how the emails surfaced raised immediate questions about Russian involvement, particularly because U.S. officials have warned that Russia — which backed Trump’s 2016 campaign through hacking and a covert social media campaign — is interfering again this year.
The episode is being investigated as part of a possible Russian influence operation, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss an ongoing matter. It underscores the extent to which Giuliani, through his activities, is a risk to a White House that spent years shadowed by a federal investigation into whether Trump associates had coordinated with Russia.

Calling what social media did with the Hunter Biden posts ‘censorship’ is really silly coming from the right.
Since when is a private company required to provide a platform for nonsense?

No - because it is an outrageous claim -
And based on anectdotal evidence.
I have never met anyone who has starved to death - nor have I done any scientific study to that end.
However - I have heard enough anectdotal information to believe it is indeed possible to die of starvation - i.e. not eating.
Are you of the opinion that anectdotal information is NEVER worthy of consideration?

It's a claim that has been debunked

The scientific fact if you don't eat you die is well established

Science has established if you don't eat you die

It's worthless as data

Good luck with that. The Biden campaign nor Hunter Biden have disputed the claims in the New York Post article. Giuliani says Hunter Biden's lawyer contacted the repair shop by phone and by email to ask for the hard drive back.
