B) Googling does not count as scholarly research, it can only if certain criteria are met (I take it you haven't completed any college research classes). If you retreived this information from EBSCO, ProQuest or any number of other search engines with the scholarly articles only checked-THEN you would be presenting valid data. Otherwise you are just repeating something you read on the internet-and there's a whole lot of BS out there.

Based on your response to me I'm willing to bet you have no scholarly peer reviewed citations behind your 'opinion'.


I wasn't aware that you needed scholarly peer reviewed citations to have an opinion. In any case, you make good points. I'll be much more careful in the future.
