I offered proof that drowning is calm. You've claimed the opposite but haven't proven it. So, prove it.
I live within walking distance of a beach, I swim.in the ocean plenty. Got any more dumb insults, or are you actually going to surprise me and attempt to prove your point?
I've done long distance ocean swimming before, not being able to see the shore is not that scary.
And it's quite telling that you can't provide any evidence to back your claim. I've provided proof, why can't you?
Where do you think the data from the study I provided came from? Here's a clue: it came from real life experiences.
Then it should be easy to prove it. I have literally provided evidence. You haven't. Stop trying to belittle me and prove your point. Cos I'm starting to think you can't.
Then prove it. There should be hundreds of studies proving you right. You can't even provide one.
Don't waste your time trying to patronise me, use that time to find evidence to support your claim. And maybe pick up a book, you're syntax is extremely hard to parse.
I've literally provided evidence that it's calm. This isn't me just making something up, unlike you. Provide proof of your claim like I have. That's all I'm asking. Your refusal is indicative as to how poor critical thinking is in the general public. No wonder the world is imploding.
People commit suicide by drowning all the time. I can prove that too. Which is more than you've done here. Seriously, it's not a hard problem. You should have mountains of proof to counter me. Yet you haven't.
This isn't a belief I hold. This is a fact supported by science. What you hold is an opinion not backed by science. You have provided 0 evidence to support your claim. Support your claim.
Then prove it. Should be simple.
