There is a lot of speculation here on our discussion board.
This speculation should be backed up, either with a logical discussion or at least with links to sites that have a logical discussion and/or evidence of what we are declaring.
In other words - BS walks.
For instance: if you make a statement like "Obama is a muslim", then you want to provide information that backs up your assertion.
Another instance: "Obama is no different from Bush". Well, it should be obvious that Obama's policies are vastly different from Bush's - unless you can prove it.
