I guess the next time you want to claim ignorance, you need to stop and think about whether you have really done the homework. you're not convincing me that you have. you haven't given me a single source you've used. I have a right to think that you haven't done any homework.

at your age and with the internet, you could have not been ignorant. if you knew how to use a search engine. that's how I got hold of evidence. plus I found sources that helped me evaluate the sources.
