Why do people act like the internet isn't a reliable source for information?

[GingaNinja]

I'm always like "Blahblahblah SOME FACT HERE blahblahblah"  Then some one goes, "Oh yeah?  and where'd you learn that?"  And I say, "The internet."  Then they say "ahaha, yeah and everything on the internet is true!"


IT IS!!


why

[Himu]

Because sometimes it may of been an unreliable person, on the internet, spreading false information.

You're an idiot.

The most part of the internet is porn. The other parts consist of "Get rich quick" schemes, Penis enlargement, and "GET STUFF FUR FREE" crap.

And then there is the < 1% part that is actual Fact. (This does not include Wikipedia.)

Can I ask you a question?

Why is it that, if the time ever comes that a person should argue with you to the point that they win the arguement, and your point is moot, that you can always find something to say, or a question to ask, or do something in reply, so that your point becomes un-moot, or the argument turns in your favor, or you make the other person look like an idiot?
