How many of you 'absolutely positively, without a shadow of doubt' know the linked information is valid?
If so, please post another source/form of credibility (other than a link as proof) and thanks if you can...
I'm not one to buy it's true (whatever story it may be) because it's found in a link or printed in a news story on the internet (see buzzfeed, etc.) or in times not so long ago, folks thought if it was printed in a newspaper it was gospel...
Am I just being an intransigent so and so?
Nope, just not completely accepting that because a story is found in a link it's necessarily believable, nah...bubblegum is often found in what appears to be unimpeachable sources when they could just be... discrediting baloney. Often a story reinforces preconceived bias...as in: I toad ya he's a no good bubble-gummer and this link 'pee-rooves' it by gum...
