I don't owe hostiles a debate

So I won't debate. It isn't because I can't. I absolutely can. I can provide all the supportive information where I have gotten my info from and try to prove them wrong.

But why?

If they don't have the integrity to actually look up for themselves if I'm correct and want to stand on their imperical ideologies, then why bother?

At least have the intelligent honesty to see if I'm wrong and refute me with the proof I'm wrong? Not just what you have been spoon fed?

Everything I state in a reply are things I have independently learned by asking, "Is what that person said true?" and then finding the truth. 95% of the time, if they are conservative, they are not correct and I have learned why. No debate needed. Just honest curiosity.

If a person can't even bother to have curiosity to see what is true about an opposing thought, I can't be bothered to take them seriously.

If I’ve learned anything on here specifically; it’s that people HATE to be proven wrong. They will die on whatever swords they have. If that makes sense..

@Moneyonmymind I tend to think it is because they don't have the ability to admit to themselves they may not know all things. I try to always ask myself when presented with conflicting information, "Is that true? Let's find out!" Then, I actually will go back and say, "Wow! I learned something today!" or, I don't and realize I don't need to continue conversing with that person because they don't have the common sense to question what they hear or read. If they aren't going to do that, there is literally no point in continuing to talk to them. They want to be stupid that they won't question their own beliefs and opinions and I don't have time for that nonsense.
