Something's amiss.

Ib, I EMBRACE difference of opinion and debate. Through debate we grow wiser and stronger.

I DO NOT SUPPORT trolling and personal attacks; both, methods used by lazy, uninformed jackasses.

Don't confuse intolerance of ignorance with myopic narcissism.

Only when I see that you are either wrong, misleading or telling one side of the story. That happens Too often. You don't support personal attacks yet you commit them, usually with childish name calling. If you embrace a difference of opinion, the. It doesn't show. If you said the sky was blue, and I said it was a shade of blue, you would lose your mind!

Kalm's WAPO article redresses a 2012 study, NOT the two previously cited in this thread (both published in 2014). Note, however, that the WAPO redress DOES CONFIRM problems associated in use by adolescents and heavy use by adults (last paragraph); also a qualifier in the two later studies cited.

You don't support personal attacks yet you commit them, usually with childish name calling.
By calling trolls, "jackasses"? I'm not the one repeatedly implying that a person's state of residence is indicative of their mental health or supportive of a logical fallacy within their argument.
If you embrace a difference of opinion, the. It doesn't show. If you said the sky was blue, and I said it was a shade of blue, you would lose your mind!
NOT IF YOU POST A PICTURE OF THE SKY!!! Start backing up your assertions with logic and fact!! Take a few seconds to look up sources and provide links. Whether you agree or not, JSO is one of the most successful debaters on this site because he focuses on logic, explains his position, and cites his sources...

...rather than implying the disagreeing person MUST BE WRONG because they are a liberal living in the south.

BTW, at least it's not penises.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
