Tea Partiers have a better grasp of science...how embarassing!

[Asclepias]

Variables ARE covered. I am talking about violent rape.

and it is a well known fact for all the reproduction specialists - if you are under stress - the implementation is highly questionable.

Now, I know your tendency to engage in a menace of splitting the hair into the 4 parts, so I won't go any further.

as i said - Akin is an idiot - for getting involved into a discussion which he should avoided.
But I am not

Not everyone reports the variable of the rape being violent. How are you missing that? How are they measuring the levels of stress in the subjects and the levels of hormones and timing it to the moment of conception and attachment to the uterus? Are you really trying to say I'm splitting hairs? All you can say with any assurance is that it may be possible that stress may play a part in preventing pregnancy in violent rape cases. Thats about as useless as used toilet paper.

google is your friend

I dont need google to tell me they are not getting a true sampling of people reporting violent rapes or they can measure the stress levels and time it to conception. You guys are scary. RW's have some good policies but you are out to lunch on most other things as a group.

Well, given the degree of scientifc literacy displayed here by the "Conservatives", I find it difficut to believe that the Teabaggers have any scientific literacy above that of a sixth grader.

Every study I've seen slams Obama supporters as being some of the stupidest and most uninformed people on the planet. Bama phone!!!got my free Bama Phone!

Tea Baggers are much smarter than ObamaBots.

No problem here with that message.

not in 100% cases. but the occurrence of pregnancy after violent rape is miniscule.
but it has to be violent. the case - she agreed and then decided it was a rape - is not the one discussed here.

Yeeeeeeehaw! Ya can't get pregnant if you are raped! And if you do get pregnant.....it was not rape! It must have been consensual!

Ladies...........how about that!

I know you are an idiot and do not understand that "not in 100% cases" and "occurrence is miniscule" means exactly that pregnancy after violent rape is rare. and it translates in your leftard mind into "you can not get pregnant after a rape" - but then, that should be expected from a lying leftard

I wanna believe you actually some facts here.. But it's hard. Because all you've said is that case "is rare".. Well so is rape in general... (unless you're a women in military at an away conference)

How about just some GENERAL numbers comparing conception for rape versus non-stress intercourse?


**can't believe I'm asking for this..... "non-stress intercourse" ----- oxymoron?

Yale Professor: Media Biased Me Against Tea Party, But They're More Scientifically Literate | Truth Revolt

To think there are no educated people in the Tea Party is downright silly.

Doesn't mean I agree with the beliefs though.

The rarest form of intelligence, is commonsense. Highly educated people are not always synonymous with wisdom. Presidents Washington, Truman, and Reagan did not have higher educations, yet they were profoundly intelligent and wise.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I see A LOT of REALLY dumbass posts in this thread. Don't worry lefties you can still be king of EVERYTHING in your own minds!

Carry on.

How true. I can't even count the amount of so-called educated folks who can't even balance their own finances. Higher education does not teach common sense or wisdom, that comes from the lessons of life. I have met many more people with a high school education who display much more wisdom as their life demanded it.

On another note about the religious comments. The assumption is made that those who believe in their faith are simpletons, when in fact a majority of scientists believe in God, just not the literal Bible. Based on the design and physical nature of the universe, this God is most likely a scientist. By attacking those of faith it only weakens a person argument in a debate and is a shameful tactic.

Not a believer myself, but I would never attack a person based upon their faith.

Oh no... Google has become the go to for specific medical information? Now that explains a lot in the medical industry..

Certainly better educated than the average foodstamp liberal.

Actually, it doesn't take much to be smarter than the average moronic liberal.

Everyone knows that common sense is not learned in a classroom....and that wisdom is the product of experience. Your stating the obvious isn't blowing anyone's mind.

None of that explains why so many of the "tea party" folks here display no ability to discern fact from fiction and think someone like Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz could lead this nation.

What this proves is that the average progressive is a bigoted idiot, insulated from reality, who has no idea what they're talking about at any given time.

Watch out you might be accused of stating the obvious.
At least for those of us who think.

 

[mamooth]

Do you understand basic math?

Yep. Which is why my jaw dropped at just how badly you botched it here. You've often demonstrated before how awful you are at logical thinking, not to mention your membership in the Dunning-Kruger club, but you took it to a shocking new low this time.

Conservatives scored 0.05 lower than liberals. Tea Party members scored 0.85 higher than non Tea Party members. Unless you are trying to argue that liberals are part of the Tea Party, that means liberals scored 0.80 lower than Tea Partiers.

First bonehead error, you can't read. It was 0.05, not 0.85. Hence, your whole theory collapses.

Second bonehead error, your claim that "non-tea-party" = "liberal". Someone with at least an average grasp of logic (which excludes you) would understand that "non-tea-party" includes conservative evangelicals, conservative businessmen, independents, liberals, and other groups. The study never compared "Tea Party" to "liberal", hence no conclusion can be made in that regard.

Anyone want to guess how long it will take a liberal to point out what I did wrong?

Understanding you screwed up is good, but the next step is admitting it, instead of trying a "Ha! It was a big joke! I fooled you liberals!" deflection.

Mamooth is not a Tea Party member. In fact, he hates the Tea Party more than you do, and, like you, thinks they are all ignorant white redneck racists.

Lying about me isn't helping your credibility either.

So, my point stands. Which is that every conservative on this thread has been a raging 'tard concerning the study. We can't generalize from that to conservatives as a whole, due to the small sample size. We can only definitively state that every conservative on this thread has been acting like a 'tard.

Why those conservatives act like such 'tards is another topic. Some of 'em actually are 'tards, while some of them just deliberately choose to act like 'tards because their political cult orders them to act like 'tards. In their cult, anyone who doesn't act like a 'tard is viewed with suspicion.

I wouldn't be calling anyone else on their ability to discern reality if I were you. We are almost 6 years into Obama's term and you still think he can.

All studies that prove one group is smarter than another are flawed, yet you managed to dig into my deliberate misstatement of the math and conclude that you are smarter than I am.

Great job.
