Looked to me like you challenged him, he proved it, but you rejected his proof, and now he's asking you to explain why you did so.
Perhaps I missed something somewhere.
I don't know that he did - but he CLAIMED to have done so - I would presume that your disagreement with his proof is why you are being asked to explain why you don't accept said proof.Show me where he proved - what exactly.

Judging from the exchange, he disagrees with you as to what, precisely, the "underlying foundation" is.your posts ignore the underlying foundation of the constitution and the bill of rights.

Judging from the timing, I think you're a sock.
Thus you do not accept his proof, and he's asking why.Uh - yeah - he proved nothing
Of whom?Judging from the timing, I think you're a sock.
Is it appropriate to demand proof and facts on Debate Politics?
From my observation 100% of posters on Debate Politics are anonymous. This is also the internet where words can be typed in any order to say anything imaginable. Concrete evidence can rarely be presented via the internet. I also think this is a place to express your opinion on interesting and non-interesting topics. Can't a person base their opinion upon a lie? Just because their opinion is based upon a lie this doesn't make their opinion any less valid. After all, it's an opinion. An opinion doesn't really hold much weight anyways. Sure occasionally an opinion can change someone's mind but that doesn't make it authoritative.
What do you guys think? Are proof and facts necessary when presenting your opinion?
It depends if you want an educated opinion. Usually, in debate, you are looking for opinions with facts to back them up. Basing an opinion on facts makes it an educated one whether people agree with said opinion. Two sides can present facts and have different opinions. All debates should have two sides.
some things should be only one sided
resolved: ebola is something I don't want spreading in the USA
is there a legitimate counter-argument?
Arguing for diseases to spread is really not an educated opinion unless one can back up why it is a good and/or even a worthy opinion.
well if you hate america and want it to be plagued by a pestilence
Of whom?
Again, I don't know that he proved anything.(chuckle)
This is the second time I'm asking you: what did turtle prove, and how did he prove it?
