re: Does anyone actually believe this

I'm trying to find out the opposing person's viewpoint. Unfortunately, the opposing person wants other people to explain his view for him because he clearly can't do it himself.

I'm not going to try to figure out what you're talking about for you. If you can't explain yourself without other people than you're not worth having a conversation with. Next time, don't use Wikipedia when you're trying to piggyback on someone else's opinion, it starts you off on rocky ground and you aren't going to be able to explain how they came to the conclusion they've come to. Thus being easy to spot that you don't know what you're trying to talk about.

I believe what I believe because I myself have studied it and have come to the conclusion I've come to. I may be wrong but at least my opinion's not a rip off of someone else's work and was formed by myself taking the time to figure out what I believe.

You should have just left it at page 2 with the .
