    A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.

        Yeah, he’s the classic boomer model of “my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment”. Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he’s doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.

          I wonder if they will ever accept that israel constantly lies and shouldn’t ever be trusted without extensive investigation.

      At least I had the experience in several places and that is more than the person making the assertion. Also, the media covered events of the day, so the observation is not just solely mine.

        I don’t think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.

        You didn’t link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We’re not mind readers, we don’t know what you’re not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we’re not going to look it up for you. If you don’t provide evidence, people online generally assume you’re making it up, and rightfully so.

          I understand what you are saying, I just discount its importance. Plus, you started by calling me a name and now you attempt to talk down to me. Bet you’re fun at parties too.
