    When someone writes a reply asking for a source, did they actually do a short Google-search related to the claim?

    no one is responsible for supporting our argument except you.

      Yeah, I feel the same. If you are making claims with no source people should be allowed to ask for the source without needing to look themselves.

        Exactly. If I ask someone for a source on something I feel is wrong it’s because I specifically want to know the information they’re working from. If I look it up straight away and send them a link that says they’re wrong straight out of the gate they aren’t even going to open it.

        Do you have any evidence supporting your position that this is the proper way to debate a sealion?
