How does one argue against an opinion that doesn't have evidence?No, they dont.
And opinion is an opinion. It can be justified by personal observations that are not "sourced".
So say someone needs "a link" or "a source" for an opinion is an absolute cop out.
Someone asking for "a link" or "a source" for an opinion shows that they have no way of arguing against said opinion.

that's not a debate, that's comparing notes.anecdotal evidence, personal experience, counter opinion. it really isn't that hard
yeah right. whenever faced with an opinion you can't refute, you squeal "prove it" like a 5 year old.
you claimed: individuals have chips on their shoulders, not groups
I claimed: more of those individuals are black
you squealed: prove it
prove it: the first resort of the weak minded
you just hinted around it. insinuated he is a "nigger" without actually calling him a "nigger" , that's worse than coming out and saying it straight up. but, I guess, your way gives you plausible deniability, since you never actually posted the words.
Its not surprising that you failed to understand what I did.
OK...... *breaking up fight*
Gentlemen.. PLEASE!
Opinions don't need evidence.
it also shows they don't know the difference between an opinion and a statement of fact
Just don't expect people to take you seriously when you use your own observations and extrapolate them to make conclusions about the entire population, because like I told you before, anecdote =/= data.

Refusing to prove one's claims and crying when asked to is the only resort of those who make stupid **** up and get called on it, thus feeling like idiots for making **** up.
So I argue my point with evidence, but you don't argue your point with evidence. Right. That's not a debate, that's a waste of my time.You argue YOUR point with the evidence, in an attempt to change thier opinion.
YOU show them why their opinion is inaccurate.

We aren't the one's that said "the group that has the most individuals that have chips on their shoulders is the blacks."
That is a statement which would require quantititative data.
A statement of opinion would be "I think that the group that has the most individuals that have chips on their shoulders is the blacks"
That statement could just be dismissed as a racist stereotype. (It qualifies as racist because it implies that blacks are in some way inferior to other groups due to this perceived inability to overcome their past at a higher rate)
But my soul doesnt like it when I say it. I use it as an adjective, not a noun. Its usually in a phrase like NIGGER RIGGED or something like that.
My grandfather's theory was that there were black people and there were N-words, and he didn't like N-words. Now, before you go condemning him for that, he also believed that the N-word could apply to any color.

I was trying to be polite.
It's okay to say it here. Unless you have a black guy standing over your shoulder while you type. I thought conservatives wanted to fight PC, come on bro join the resistance!
So....
I guess I need to start my own Media Company to follow me around and write "sourced articles" about the stuff I see and do so that I can then show a precious 'LINK' to back up my opinion.
