Not just educators, but also educated as well. We've had this discussion here before about the difference between education and intelligence and I'm in complete agreement with you. In fact, I think people with double doctoral degrees are sometimes the dimmest people I've met. Well, about half are incredibly brilliant and motivated beyond belief, while the others are... "special" <br><br>If you look at my post I only pointed out that most contributors on slashdot are educated because its one explanation for why an overwhelming majority of the responses there are liberal. Nothing snotty about it.<br><br>And John... you're absolutely right, of course there are a lot of educated conservatives. There are also african-american conservatives, and (IMO) a shocking number of gay republicans... but neither are a majority for their ethnic or social backgrounds. My point is its just statistics of a huge population - there is bound to be a majority on one side or the other.<br><br>

Of course there's a correlation between intelligence & 'liberal' thinkers.<br>(Those that choose to think for themselves)<br>Having the ability to do independent research, to distinguish the reliability of <br>sources, and to draw independent intelligent conclusions is a hallmark of intelligence.<br><br>It's the 'Control Freaks' & the "Go along just to Get Along" crowd, that I question.<br>The ones so quick to demean, discredit & label the people that they can't control. <br><br>Then of course that little list you published (JohnR)<br>of the 'liberal' members here that 'you don't even bother to read'<br>...nice...<br><br>Ah, was that in the 'Fear is Profitable' thread or somesuch?<br> ....the one that I said 'Fear of INCLUSION & EXCLUSION'? <br>as in being used to control people<br><br>yeah, ~ whateveh ~ <br><br><br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green>

...they are indeed allowed their differing opinions.<br><br>Part of intelligent assessment is to learn from others.<br><br>However, I feel that it crossed the line when it becomes <br>a non-stop excercise in bludgeoning with their opinions.<br><br>I'm sorry, that's where it crosses the line...<br>and eventually elicits a response.<br><br>At what point does it become so irritating just from shear<br>redundancy (if nothing else) that one is either forced to leave<br>or start punching the person in the side of the head, to help<br>them move on, like a phonograph with a sticking needle.<br><br>I realize, YOU, all mighty self appointed leader, have the <br>patience of Job, ...but I admittedly, do not.

...of course what pushes it over the edge...<br>is the little pity party where y'all sit around wringng your hands<br>about the political threads driving away members, yet never<br>attempt to approach the member posting all these threads,<br>and voicing your opinion about it it's doing to your community.<br><br>WHY?<br><br>Because it's YOUR candidate he's endorcing ('Round the freakin clock)?<br><br>I rest MY Case youronner. <br><br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>...of course what pushes it over the edge...<p><hr></blockquote><p>Maybe you're already too close to the edge in the first place.<br><br>And please don't tell me that a slew of mean-spirited wisecracks is the way to deal with this redundancy you have such a problem with. Matter of fact, these pro-Bush posts that seem to get your goat number far far less in number than posts that go the other way. But that redundancy doesn't phase you, does it? And that's probably because you interpret it as consistency. Well, people with an opposing POV have a right to be consistent, too. And for the record, I personally don't have a candidate yet, but if someone else does, why is it wrong to endorse said candidate "'Round the freakin clock"?<br><br>Nah, IMHO, you're just looking for a stone to grind your axe on.<br><br>But I agree with you on one point, I do have the patience of Job. Steves_Job, of course. Your tireless, self-appointed, thread derailing leader. <br><br>

So you don't like someone who's fat, opinionated, and narrowminded about America.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Then of course that little list you published (JohnR)<br>of the 'liberal' members here that 'you don't even bother to read'<br>...nice...<br><br><br>Ahh....take something I posted and use it out of context! Way to go!<br><br>The so called "list" was posted in this thread titled "I sure do miss Sherman" on page 2 where I posted, quote:<br>"I don't recall that either.<br><br>We have some left-wingers here:<br>Cherry<br>Celandine<br>nutty<br>sean<br>Mikebx<br>and some others I'm sure..but can't recall right now."<br><br>So it was only because you are you! welcome back". end quote.<br>Does it say up there that (to quote you) [color:red]I don't even bother to read</font color=red>? No? ok...good. Still with me?<br><br>Now...HERE is where you got mixed up. In the same thread about missing Sherman, but on page 3 I posted, and I quote:<br><br>[color:red]Nope. Course anything by TGD I generally skip over.</font color=red><br><br>Same thing as what you just said here? Noooo...cause I only said that I generally, not ALWAYS, skip over TGD, aka TheGreatDivide, threads.<br><br>Now please...get your facts straight or at least tell a better lie. <br><br>last quote of you:<br><br>yeah, ~whatever ~ <br><br><br>"You mean they're taking the thoughts we think we thought and making them thoughts we think we thought... I think." - Patrick
