Survey Says: Republicans Know More Than Democrats
Want to know why the GOP is spiraling downwards into stupidity?
Because they reject new ideas.
Good example of older, more "experienced" people getting their butts kicked by young, open minded, free thinkers?
Computers. Ever watch people over 60 try to surf the 'net?
Then check out how a teenager does it.
Nope, Republicans are DUMBER than liberals.
You have me stumped with that analogy. Democrats get old too, not just Republicans. The reason ALL teenagers are whiz kids at computers is that they were born with one in their hands, whereas people like me remember when a "computer" was the size of a small office building, and we've had to keep up with technology moving at the speed of light instead of learning from the time we could walk how to push "send" and "delete" and watch in fascination as another picture screen dances before our eyes.

It's not about the age as much as the age identifies the behavior.
Old people tend to not want to try new things, because they become cynical and think that stuff won't work.
See Orville and Wilbur Wright for reference on that. They didn't know science, but they did make observations, and thus allowed humans to fly.
The GOP tends to not want to try new things as well......they want to maintain the status quo.
Only problem with that is, you can't get new ideas running. We should already be somewhere as far along as Brazil when it comes to renewable energy, but because of the oil companies having this country by the balls, we didn't.
It almost killed our economy.
Young people, as well as those with open minds (there are many seniors who are going back to grade school and high school by the way, they are open minded), will ALWAYS look for new ways of doing things.
Those that are too conservative, won't.
Where are these brilliant young people? Why aren't they more literate than us old geezers? Why are their test scores so low? Why are they still living with their parents until they are 30? Isn't the internet making them "smarter"?
Their mind are so "open" the info pours out like a sieve.
True Story from earlier this week.
I talked to a 26 year old engineer who also teaches physics part time, married with one son and generally relates more to conservatism because they say they are patriotic and insist they are fiscally conservative.
He said he couldn't believe that Republicans would elect Arnold Schwarzenegger as a "governor" because he is a dumb "actor".
I pointed out that Scott Brown was a nude centerfold, Sarah Palin a former bathing suit beauty queen and Ronald Reagan was a B movie actor and he absolutely did NOT believe it. He said he did NOT believe that Ronald Reagan was a movie actor. I had to take him to the Internet and PROVE all three. The guy was flabbergasted. So was I. How could anyone not know these things? How is it possible? Well, now I know.
