"Should we expect people to undertake at least rudimentary research before posting?"
i would say yes if you start stating 'facts' to support your point of view..
although with some on here one can point them to the publicly available information and then they will ignore it or denigrate it because they are not open to new information which challenges their opinion..

Well they should know a bit about the subject but people who just copy and paste articles and/or give a reference to some article they have read is very annoying.
You have to read many many articles to research a subject and posters that read the one that gives there point of view are just ignorant,somebody will read this and know I am talking about them.
We all have brains we should use them |

I think so on the politics forum otherwise people can make themselves look a daft."
We can all look daft, but opinion is good and so called experts can be pretty daft. |

Of course fact is better, however it all depends where you get your facts from. I was always under the impression the only fact is the bit of skin between your arse and fanny!
Which would equate to every politician when they open their mouth! |

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, everyone gets their facts from somewhere. Debate is great, however it soon degenerates into the usual who can shout the person down the best on here.
There is so much rubbish out there, so much spin and rhetoric that facts can be a load of fiction. The current state of mainstream news reporting and institutions funded by what ever political affiliation will distort the political 'facts' to fit their political agenda. |

I think it's hilarious when people rubbish research that they haven't actually read. Of course all research can be critically analysed, perhaps faults in their methodologies found, areas for additional research identified, research proposing counter arguments found etc. However, you can't do that if you haven't actually read the research that is being discussed. |

If you think it's better to dismiss all research out of hand before even reading it, then I think it is better you do give up! |

Only at Christmas 
Besides what have you got against pointy hats anyway? Maybe it's all those hours you spent wearing one with a 'D' written on it whilst standing in the corner of the classroom during your school days. |

CLCC, thanks for the advice, I obviously do not move in your esteemed circles of all encompassing knowledge.
I for one lead a very simple, hassle free life and to that end would rather keep it that way.
Lovely day, be seeing you...  |

You can as the basis of there argument is all you need to know.
If you have a good broad knowledge of a subject anyway you can work from there,A discussion is not something that takes place with 5 hours between statements while you research the others statement.We are not acadmics we are not writing a thesis on the subject.If you or I was writing a thesis we would not put it here this is a simply discussion forum. |

It's preferable for reliable data sources to be sourced and ingested before posting.
The lack of credible references and understanding here does highlight the risks of power via our form of democracy though.  |

I use this discussion to challenge my own view and learn from others. I research when I am challenged. Otherwise I try to talk about my opinion and feeling. Trying not to state it as fact.

We should be able to link to articles on the Politics forum. It would cut out, or at least shut down an awful lot of the bullshit.
Without it people post any old shit and can get away without being properly held to account. |

I have asked a few time if at least .ac.uk could be added to the list of approved links, but have heard nothing back from the site owners. |

The biggest shift in the paradigm will be crypto currency, its the biggest momentous shift in power for 2000 years. |
