If you are disputing my argument, you are free to prove it wrong with your own sources. I am not required to prove anything here, I don't care enough about this either way.
It seems like you prefer to talk about McDonalds though. LOL
That is not how it works. Since you are making a claim burden of proof is on YOU. It is not my role to disprove something you made up. If you come running out of the woods and say, "I saw bigfoot in the woods having tea with aliens from Mars," you need to prove this. It isnt my responsibility to disprove that big foot is not in the woods having tea with aliens, that only poor people who cant afford anything else eat at McDonalds, or that nobody retires to Morgantown. You cant prove something that doesnt exist wrong, it is wrong by default since no proof exist.
It seems like you prefer to make logical fallacies and then try to back away from them when you cant produce a shred of evidence. LOL
At least you admit you cant support anything you have said.
You obviously do care as you keep replying on this subject. Let be give you some advice it is going to be faster and easier for you to actually prove your point with evidence then to make post after post giving excuses on why you have no support or refusing to back up lies. You are just going to get called out more and further exposed as being wrong. It would be easier to just give support.

Actually, it doesn't work like that. This isn't a court room.
You are making the assertion that I am wrong. If somebody wants to assume that I am wrong b/c I have not provided a source, that is fine but they have not proven that I am wrong, at the same time. There is no presumption that I am wrong if I don't provide a source.
You don't have a respons;ibity to prove that I am wrong, nor do I have the responsibity to prove I am right.
I do think if you are asserting something is not true, then really you should make the case it isn't true, otherwise why bother stating it. It sounds like you don't believe it is true so if you believe it isn't true then you should have a reason for believing it is not true and you could just as easily tell us that in addition to telling us it isn't true.
I think it is self evident that a warm weather place near the coast has more retirees than a small town in the mountains of WV where they burn couches after a football game. LOL

I did an edit here is the rest of my comment.

This isnt a court room, it is logic 101.
Anyway, your opinion and assumptions are noted. If you ever want to give any support for this big assumption you made that is not shown to be based off any data feel free to come back and do so, but you dont care right? You dont care so much that you arent going to keep giving excuses on why you cant provide support. That is how much you dont care.
This is also known as the “you have fallen into my rhetorical trap” argument, wherein somebody says something patently stupid to you and you bulldoze them solely by pointing out obvious facts a fifth grader knows. You know, like every single argument on Facebook about politics, found underneath even the most mildly political article.
The name comes from infamous (to RPG.net users) forum poster Danth, who had this as a favorite tactic. It’s also called Parker’s Law.
Following Danth’s Law is a particular favorite of people who run forums and are chronically unable to win arguments. See for example Tim Buckley and the Ctrl-Alt-Del forums, notorious for banning users that disagree with the Buckley regime on anything, Scott Kurtz and PvP’s nearly monthly forum wipes for precisely the same reasons, and, of course, the ultimate example: Andrew Schafly, of Conservapedia, and his sad attempt to refute the work of Richard Lenski.
I think most people were probably saying that about Morgantown. LOL
Lot of people retire in Columbia. I don't think people are flocking to the wilds of West Virginia for cold winters in their retirment unless they are WVU grads.
Think what you will. Apparently you just don't know. Compare the outdoor venues of Columbia (yes, I have been there) to what we have in Morgantown. Look up how far it is from Columbia to a major population center. Look up the unemployment and crime rates of both cities. Then get back to us. LOL
When you finish doing that, I'll tell you to do the same thing with Winston Salem. Morgantown is quickly becoming a destination for business and for retirement.

CT btw, your retirement to Morgantown doesnt count. You arent a WVU alumni are you? LOL

There are no good jobs in Morgantown, people there just work in retail / restaurants. It's a smaller town so it makes sense there is less crime there than a bigger city.
Columbia is 1.5 hours to Charlotte, 3 hours or so to Atlanta. Do you not consider these major population centers? LOL
You guys are close to Pittsburgh. LOL I'd rather be close to Charleston and the beach.
I don't know what you mean by outdoor venues but Columbia has two nice lakes nearby.
CT should come home already and retire down here near Marshall and his pal CR. ; )
But SILK NOBODY retires there.
