“So if its 'truth' is unsupported, then it follows it cannot be true”
Find a source that actually says this. Nothing you have quoted so far says anything of the sort. It doesn't have to be in those exact words, but something similar.

There is not an exact replication, but the statement for fills all the following requirements of deductive logic. Moreover, I cannot discover anything that refutes such a conclusion, more importantly neither can you. Otherwise, you would have so indicated.
”Philosophy Evaluative Terms and Concepts
Supported: Applies to: Premises and conclusions
Definition: A premise is supported when it is backed up by factual evidence/further argument (e.g. a sub-argument).
A conclusion is supported if it follows a series of premises that guarantee its truth or at least make it more likely in the case of a non-deductive (e.g. an inductive) argument https://quizlet.com/27700266/philosophy-evaluative-terms-and-concepts-flash-cards/
Conclusion
The claim that an argument tries to establish as true; what the arguer is trying to prove to the audience. The conclusion is supported by the argument's premises.” https://quizlet.com/27700266/philosophy-evaluative-terms-and-concepts-flash-cards/

And I don't have to refute your claim. That would be shifting the burden of proof.

Thats correct, but neither those quotes do anything other than buttress my statement.
Meanwhile, your unable to refute, the compellability of those that assert to prove. The truth of the statement “Thoughts are either true or false in an absolute sense. You've attempted an 'argument from ignorance' and a 'reductio ad absurdum', in attempting to shift the burden of proof to an irrelevant aspect of philosophy.
So while I'm unable to meet my burden, my assertion may still be the correct one, since there in no evidence too the contrary.

This is what I have been arguing all along!
So if its 'truth' is unsupported, then it may still be true.
This is what you have just stated, in direct contradiction to your previous claim.

As they should be easily provable. The only likely reason for such a refusal, is the party knows it's not true. As in case of Jack, who continually acts in such a fashion.

Oct 01st, 2016 - 09:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So since it was just an opinion, you no longer believe the below?
“So if its 'truth' is unsupported, then it follows it cannot be true”
And you now agree with this:
“So if its 'truth' is unsupported, then it may be either true or false.”
Not at all, I've clarified the issue, so engage in all the sophistry you wish. As my stand is perfectly clear.

Oct 01st, 2016 - 10:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have clarified nothing.
Do you still claim:
“So if its 'truth' is unsupported, then it follows it cannot be true”
Yes or no?
If yes, prove it. If no, just admit you were wrong. Everyone is wrong sometimes, it's only a problem if you can't admit it.
Your just whining and opining
Oct 01st, 2016 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's a simple question, Terence. Yes or no?

You have engaged in fraud twice, on the first occasion was misrepresenting what I had stated post #44. The second time was fraud by omission which I revealed at post #40 http://en.mercopress.com/2016/09/21/obama-blasts-those-who-build-walls-fuelled-by-nationalism-sectarian-hatred-and-economic-inequality#comment450924. Which is an admission that you don't have belief in your own position, and that your cause has no merit. Otherwise, why would you engage in such dishonesty?
