4/ You must back up your claims with evidence. If you are trying to argue for something, you need evidence to back it up. It is very quick and easy to add links to your posts. If you are arguing a statistic, link to the agency who generated the statistic. If you are arguing using a concept people might not all be familiar with, link to the dictionary.com or wikipedia.org page that explains it.

5/ Unfalsifiable claims are not allowed. What this means is basically: No matter how strongly you choose to believe something, if that something cannot be proven or disproven, you cannot use it as evidence in discussions. As a practical rule it means that threads about religion are on very shaky ground. You can discuss religions and religious concepts to your heart's content provided you have proper evidence to back them up, but faith-based claims simply lead to flamewars, and juvenile "yes it is, no it isn't" back-and-forths that make everyone's day worse.

6/ Proper spelling and punctuation are mandatory. Even moreso than in the rest of the forum, posts in CT need to contain full and proper english words. Text is a medium of communication, and when u tak leik ths it breaks down the ability of people to understand you. Yes you know what you mean, yes we can figure out what you mean, but every time a post has to be made asking for a translation or interpretation of what you said, communication has broken down. Use spellcheck, use those language skills you should have been learning all these years in school.
Please fill all of these requirements in your next post.

You have absolutely no grounds for your argument. And, like I (and many others) have said, here in CT you need adequate support for your claims.
