(1,713 posts)Why would a demand for scientific evidence from people who insist their position is based in science be considered in anyway unreasonable?
So far this is where we're at:
You: "My position is grounded in science. If you don't agree you're a science denier."
Me: "If your position is grounded in science, great! I'd like a look. What ya got?"
You: "It's disingenuous to ask me for the science behind my position."
Me: "But you just insisted your position was grounded in science. What's the problem with showing your source?"
You: "Herd immunity! Irresponsible! Dangerous! Selfish Bullshit!"
Me: "I'm sorry, but wtf does that have to do with the conversation we were having?" <---- YOU ARE HERE
Please feel free to redirect the conversation down a path that sane people would recognize...
