A forum like this is supposed to be just like guys sitting on the block and discussing issues of the day, whether sports, regional, international issues. If you had a solid educational base, attained a certain level of education, life experiences, and have kept up your readings on all kinds of subjects in books, magazines, newspapers etc, you ought to have developed a solid repertoire of knowledge to be able to come to a forum/block like this and speak/write straight from the head on any issue. So when someone makes a statement about a whole lot West Indian men being dumped by X or social media, why do they have to have to provide data? This is a general observation based on "trained observation" in many cases. people read, listen, view a range of platforms on a daily basis. that combined with the attributes above allow us to engage in mature analyzes and , evaluation. In a classroom, if we are writing an academic paper, we need to support our positions. Also, on public forum like this, if we make certain sensitive statements, we may need to back up. But, here is for general, mature, educated, and free discussions. I try my best, never to quote anybody here; never to cut and paste, and never to seek assistance from AI. When i come here, it is straight from the head.
