No doubt but the sheer simplicity of the wisdom behind treating others as you'd like to be treated - to put yourself in another's shoes - is just to starkly ingenious to dismiss as anything other than just as true then as it is today and probably even more so now. We should treat everything the same way - like our planet for example. Would we really like to be under domination? Now wait until some wag pipes up that's exactly what lefties want above all else. LMAO!

Will they sure seem to like identifying as such. In any case I subscribe to the original usage of the terms right and left - where wealthy entitled powerful people sat to the right of a monarch or center of power and everyone else were to the left. The terms progressive and conservative came later but I've always maintained these were two halves the old left. Even communist dictatorships need to have a right wing of influential powerful people to maintain the rulers hold over everyone. In this sense the right is primarily concerned with the distribution of power. It's obvious why right wingers feel such a need to ingratiate themselves to the ruler but why conservatives feel the need to separate themselves from the great unwashed and ingratiate themselves to the right wing isn't. I had it explained to me that it's because no poor man ever gave them a job. Explained to me by a slumlord I might add who was apparently completely oblivious to the irony.

Sure it is, revisionism usually stems from a modern more critically thought out understanding of reality and human nature. That said I'm pretty sure even Neanderthals knew that how they'd like other people to treat them was an important clue to how they should probably treat them.

Oh well, I guess I'm just not a lefty. Does that make me a righty?

Being human He'd probably regard you people as hopeless m*orons but being a rather intelligent insightful humanist he'd probably keep his baser feelings to himself. No one likes having them rubbed in their faces. Heck most people can barely tolerate being called a sinner and that they're doomed and in need of mercy or else. Why? Because the reasons start resembling the peculiar table-of-elements understanding of human nature that believers subscribe to - not to mention the retarded supernatural hooey slathered all over it.

You are referring to a right-wing mindset that over decades has morphed into a collective viral perception that's spread by word of mouth. Instead of immunizing yourselves with basic critical thinking skills you're like people who hold chickenpox parties.

What isn't there to get about doing unto others yadda yadda? Christ on a stick...it couldn't be any easier than that. It's the veritable e=mc2 of how to get along in the world.

Obviously I mean the random humanist who wandered the ME a couple thousand years ago or I would have said Jesús.

What on Earth are you talking about? You people have constructed a painstaking vision of the left that almost parallels the periodic table of elements in its ability to tie everything together. ...almost...

Belief is such a weird way to characterize an understanding - it's just too unscientific.

A what? I'm an Earthling, you must have me confused with another species.

There's stupid confused people everywhere you go, that doesn't make them racist, liberal or even white for that matter. Go look at the black woman in the OP video again if you don't believe me.

Oh well, it's what Jesus would do so that's good enough for me.

Just the government and its supporters. They'll always have the same need for a nation as the people who displaced them.

There are plenty of Israelis who also reject it. You still support their right to a state though so that's encouraging. Maybe in another 90 years.

Who did that?

As noted in the abstract and conclusions in the first source you provided the ability to detect bias in the media is in its infancy and worse... Finally, it should be noted that there is still no agreement on what is meant by media bias, and that the current approaches are mainly focused on the statement bias, which is just one of the several types of media bias that exist. In other words simply saying it exists doesn't make it so. AFAIC it's all in your head and beliefs sometimes hold people rather than the other way around. You are in control of what you allow in but you have to actually excersize that control otherwise you might as well just be a sponge.

It would take you years to go thru the science on AGW you'll find in the IPCC website I posted a link to.

Maybe your people's perception of what lefties share in common is loony.

Calling her a loon makes me racist? When I refer to you people as loons that makes me a lefty, something that's even worse apparently.

Perhaps they're just sticking with a plan to take action against AGW. If at first you don't succeed try harder. I'm still holding out some hope the issue of whether AGW is bullshit or not will factor into the election.

I support Israel's existence as a nation. Say the same for Palestine and everything else is moot.

Why would you take such an obvious loon seriously?

Except when I say I also clearly and explicitly support the existence of Palestine your head explodes. I can only assume you utterly reject a two state solution. Would you be happier if they were simply exterminated?

Naw, you're just projecting. There's nothing the least bit deceitful or treacherous about anything I've said.
