My assertions are my conclusions from facts. That is true.
Examples from my posts.
Fact/s:
UCI is HQ'd in Europe
FIFA has a HQ in Europe
IAAF is stating that drugs should be used and has HQ in Europe.
USADA - is USA based and went after Lance.
Assertion - Drugs in Europe are not that big a deal as compared to drugs in the USA.
I recognize that may not be true, although I have enough facts for me to make that assertion... as wrong, or as right as it may be.
Nope. See below.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...lish/assertion Note the words : YOU BELIEVE . You don’t need facts to make an assertion.
The rest of your post is simply gobbledegook. It does raise a question, though: why do you North Americans hate Europe so much?
