You liberals are a hoot, lol...
Might I suggest you google "california cities go bankrupt"?? Not that tough to do
Birmingham, AL?? Google it.
Detroit, MI?? Google it.
California "public pension scam"?? Google it.
Many of you Cons are a hoot: you don't know the first thing about debate and are footloose with facts.
In debate, if you make an assertion, and I challenge that assertion, it is YOUR job to support it. If you don't or can not, its an invalid assertion, which it now is.
Too many people on this board think they are debating when they post some fact they thought they heard or may have heard it when surfing political porn sites; they accept as fact and then post something that they believe is contributing to this board. When confronted, they can not back up their point.... because, it was wrong in the first place.
I could tell you were operating from impression with a reckless disregard for the truth when you suggested Santa Barbara was bankrupt. It is/was not. Though you did hedge your statement, it would have been a relatively easy thing to fact check before your posted... but you were too lazy or afraid your argument would break down. Stockton is the largest CA city to file bankruptcy. Moreover, Birmingham did NOT go bankrupt. The County that contains Birmingham went bankrupt (they are different entities). Face it, you did a poor job with your post.
Now that I blasted that part of your statement out of the water, the credibility of most your other assertions is very questionable.

Our courts work on debate theory. A plaintiff or prosecutor
must prove his case. They do so by producing evidence to back up their assertions. When challenged, they either have to "double down" on the evidence, but it is their duty to find it and produce it; telling the defense to "google" the evidence is not producing it and will void the assertion. BTW, once the evidence is produced, it is fair game for the defense to attack the quality, relevance or jurisdiction of the evidence. Be prepared.
You sir, have not made your point and have thus far wasted everyone's time with your post. Again, it is YOUR job to produce the evidence to support your assertions. Perhaps you can learn from this "schooling" and pick up your game. I look forward to a higher integrity in your future posts.
