WOW ALMOST SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION HERE, CITING ARTICLES N STUFF

[Yankowich]

You should link to the article then, not to wikipedia. Wikipedia can contain false info.

So far people have just been saying stuff like "i huz this solid proof" without giving any references to anything. Nobody's had anything to say about that until just a couple of posts ago.

But yes, of course, you're right.

I'm not saying any reference is better than no reference at all. Still, in this case (especially), I find comments disregarding wikipedia articles just because they're wikipedia articles a bit silly.
Which is why I bothered to make a comment in this doomed conversation in the first place. I mean if he'd linked to the reference of the reference, would it have been treated the opposite,
just accepting it? Or would it have been opened and would people have noticed that in order to see anything but the synopsis, you have to pay 30 bucks?

some journals/papers are free,

Anyway obviously it's better to quote a scientific paper because it's evaluated by peer review so without a question it's more reliable
but it's less accessible and you would have to do more reading.

BTW
here's a thought let's make a philosophy section so 'beautiful minds' of demobase can meet and exchange thoughts and ideas

[Kenshin-Horus]

Sounds like a good idea, except I dont think there are any savants here..

blasphemy

i believe the circle has come to an end. 10 pages of arguing and noone has changed any of their viewpoints and noone's learned anything. Let's create another topic

[Kenshin-Horus]

^ Probably because it hasnt been backed up with any evidence or proof?

[snugg]

takes us back to the wikipedia argument, dont try to restart it.

The general conclusion we developed as a hard-working unit on demobase about that was: its wikipedia, so its lies

[VARIMR]

that's not something to be proud of

I also were half of the time I studied drunked

discussions are not necessarily designed to change someone's mind

there was some interesting topics mentioned so for me personally it will interesting to maybe explore some of the aspects

also if you take in another debate like this, and I think you will since you always take side in discussions like that
maybe stop being so bitter in your posts? Discussions often heat up if they concern matter like this( i guess irl even more, I suspect many of us remember at least one debate when people almost killed each other over stuff like this) so to be so fragile.

Nah, I just responded on Snugg saying wikipedia is not the most trustworthy, while Foxdy yesterday edited the SOF2 page saying he developed it.

tbh, i think they have people that check updated pages, like u can edit whatever, but mostly its removed after a week or so, if its bs.. AFAIK

[Foxdie]

well he has info, who are you to tell that wikipedia contains false info.
He actually bothered to search something but all you're saying is that wikipedia is false.


therefore no actual talk can be made if some people think that the acquired infromation is false.
thats why i never actually talk along serious topics, because each certain topic has several ways to understand it.
many people just don't agree to view other persons points and then we dont have a proper discussion...

BACK TO THE CIRCLE YO.

no offence people yo.

theres a reason that wikipedia isnt allowed to be used in university because it CAN contain false info and can be edited by ANYONE hes not saying the info is false hes saying that because its on wikipedia it isnt 100% reliable so dont twist his words around cock munch
