I agree with the divisive nature in America today, like cold civil war calibre. I happen to lean at least 75 % liberal on the issues and when talking with those who identify with Republican party mostly, wearing MAGA hats etc, as soon as I introduce evidence of any kind (even to the point of...

I used that example to provide a fact that cannot be disputed vs a fact about cow's perception of Heaven being more subjective. Again, not trying to open up a tangent on economics, simply just assessment of an inarguable data set being presented in any context at all toward proving either...

The point of the thread is simply to identify myself as someone who came across some studies to suggest correlation with dressing up talking points vs listing objective factual data. This was much more of a phenomena in the conservative group, but the study truly is only a vector for me to...

Haha, while I may agree with some of these things, I'm trying to see if any vector of communication actually exists anymore at this point. We should be able to, as Americans, talk with one another and not freak out because somebody did their research and now your own inadequacies are exposed...

I was speaking more towards like if I submitted a graph of the deficit as a function of GDP over the past 10-30 years as a longitudinal look at our economy. Not as much as subjective statements like a cow's heaven.

The Dream Act was put forward by Obama to attract the best of the best for societal improvement via higher education, military service etc. Many people supported this as the American Dream. Of course it was blocked by the Right ultimately and now we are building a wall when most illegals come...

-There was a greater general acceptance of continuation of the debate after fact introduction in the liberal demographic. I didn't cite the source because like most studies they can show possibility of correlation but not prove causation. It more sparked my interest, like "Have I been...

Well i guess if I was polling non-conservatives you would have selected option three. I included that for a reason out of general curiosity of what people who are actually using a non-facebook outlet feel about diplomacy.

I have been listening to TED talks and have stumbled across some sources of studying performed regarding what happens when we introduce even the simplest facts into a debate. One would hope in an ideal world that if the person reading the facts (assuming proper citation and simple mathematical...

Is boring really all that bad though? (I will try to maintain an unbiased analysis here) I understand Trump's current appeal in an era of quickly dissolving attention spans, but an elected official shouldn't be chosen or admired based on their excitingness. But back to the main subject, have...

No, and neither do humans

Hahahahahahahah so if I look into the sacred scrolls of the prophet Wikipedia and look out into the stars I will believe in God with Muhammad as the true prophet???? Why didn't you say so. Wow I just took a peek and immediately revoke my atheism for Islam! Thank you, Muslim 75, for the push I...

Evolution provides us with obvious physical adaptations over time and with our mapping of the human genome we have been able to further our understanding of our ancestry. The fact that we don't know exactly how life started doesn't dwarf how we do know the organic chemistry and genetic makeup...

There are serious problems with all religions. In contemporary times islamic extremist scripture literalists seem to have the highest propensity towards fanaticism and killing in the name of their god. That is ******* craziness and it needs to stop. Extremist muslims need to chill the ****...

Straightforward question
