Post a link?

Question

I have noticed that a lot of people ask this. But if you think about it does no good or shows any proof of what you are saying. Most will call the link biased, distoted or read it differently than than what someone else has. In most cases you can find a link that shows just the opposite of someone else's link. Finally there is the human factor, no matter what you post some people are set in their beliefs and you cannot change their mind or convince them otherwise.
Your thoughts?

Answer 1

I am more likely to believe a link from a major news source than the rantings of some Y!A user with an agenda. Many of the links are to biased sources, however I have seen some well written questions with educational links. This is almost never the case when someone is trying to troll about some political view.

Answer 2

Okay, I posted a link at the bottom. Thank you.

If the link is credible, then it should carry weight. As, for example, a link to a book by a person - to verify a quote.

And yes, some people are so convinced of their own correctness that they cannot be swayed. That's why our system of govt is based on the mass election - so that the votes of those people are dissipated.

Answer 3

Some people that are unable or unwilling to answer use it to attempt to discredit you. You can post a link after they ask,but they almost never return to answer. I have posted a personal observation in life(not posting it as a fact,just asking others about it) yet people somehow expect a link about it. Of course they may just be concerned with the highly valuable yahoo points. LOL
