Data Please Why is always the same ol' same ol'. Liberal side shows proof for their argument, and the Conservative expresses gut feelings

???? Isn't saving human lives always the most important thing?

Why does science scare you?

Not much to say, I agree completely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALe1e_e7_bw

Great update Rocky Road

I put him on my ignore list for two reasons. He contributes nothing It cleans up the pages I don't get upset with him, I just no longer reply to his comments. It does upset me a little when people waste their time responding to his Literary Diarrhea, and allow the topic to go off the rail. As a troll this is his goal.

Your falling into his trap, and once again this topic is going of the rails on a crazy train. STOP THE MADNESS

Maybe we can get back on topic, here's one of my questions. I'm not telling everyone what to do, but I think if we can ignore people like bush_cheney2004 we would not keep running into this problem. If you reply to him he wins.

Thank God, I was really confused. I put B_C on ignore list not long after joining. HE IS A TROLL

I am not implying anything. I am simply trying to understand the differences with the available research. I didn't go out of my way to find pro liberal studies, and am NOT implying conservatives are bad. The purpose of this thread is to promote a better understanding on both sides. Maybe the conservatives would like to know why Liberals are so anti- Authoritarian or why do they have a bleeding heart? Of course there are different degree's of these personality traits and everyone is different. Jonathan Haidt: The real difference between liberals and conservatives

As per: The Psychology of the Political Left & Right video. How do you know it is a false dichotomy if you haven't watched it? I agree with everything say after that point.

Like I said I am new to this forum so thanks for pointing out the previous thread. I'll have to go through it. I believe that people underestimate childhood development. I wonder if this is what you are referring to when you say life experiences? And did you watch The Psychology of the Political Left & Right video? Another video I found interesting

Have you only seen this page? I have made some real contributions to this topic. And are you familiar with bush_cheney2004 ? All he ever does is come in with little snipes. He contributes nothing, I've never seen any comments longer than two sentences. And all of his comments are simply defend America put down Canada. The man is a troll. And you call me cowardly? I'm not the only one willing to call him out on this. Isn't this what you said about him "Maybe you can educate us further with a more detailed post, instead of your habit of flitting around pointing out the specs in other people's eyes"

So what is inside the mind of a conservative, and why do I care. Well I’m fairly new to this forum , but from the beginning I’ve have run into people that have beliefs so different to me that it makes my head spin. Now I would like to think that I’m an open minded individule, especially when it comes to new ideas, but I have found myself guilty on many occasion of losing my patience when debating ideas with some people on this forum. So I decided to look into why these people hold beliefs that I find so different to mine. Is it just me, or is there a real difference between Liberal thinking people and Conservatives? Maybe if I find out I can become a little more understanding and accepting, and a better dialog can arise. So after looking into this I discovered that there are real differences between Liberals and Conservatives.
