You see emotion because you view the world through emotional filters. Blaming your shortcomings onto others is a hallmark of the left. All one needs to do is study this board and see how libs get excited when you fail to agree with them.Any "study" that says we are born conservative is straight out of a rubber room.
Good thing the study didn't say that, eh?
If you had read about it, you would have known that, but that would have been too much trouble for you, and it might have interfered with your raging.
So, thanks for providing more evidence of the emotional nature of conservatives.
No content. Invalid post. Plus posting wikipedia is as dumb as it gets anyway.Where does it say you must follow one or the other? What about other countries? Doesn't make sense, a citizen would be under the Constitution, there's no if ands or buts about it.They aren't being tortured in Gitmo, treated pretty good actually. But you shifted from the Constitution to the Geneva Convention pretty quick. Almost as if you didn't know what you were talking about.Foreign nationals don't have Constitutional rights, especially if they are not on US soil, which is why it's in Gitmo. How do you know what the released terrorists will do?
Have you never heard of the Geneva Convention?
How much peril do you want to put captured U.S. soldiers in?
You either have to follow the geneva convention, or the Constitution. One or the other. It's clear we're violating the Geneva Convention by holding POWs indefinitely even after hostilities are over. Moreover, we're holding people from countries with whom we're not at war. It's a mess. Read even ONE scholarly piece on Gitmo and you'd know that.
You're an excellent example of why Fox news is poisoning political conversations in the U.S. with lie after lie.
But go ahead and show us where it says how long we are to hold prisoners. You have failed in supporting your allegations so far. And explain where it says we must release them once "hostilities are over". This should be good.

I think you just suffer from a deficit of information. Start here.
I've responded quite well to it. It's why your panties are getting bunched up. You can't even find the portion on wikilinks that makes your case. How dumb is that?You didn't post the article but you saidThe thread YOU STARTED was about the median age and how the median age of 68 is a dinosaur to you. Now you want to shift it to conservativism? You derailed your own thread. LOLNews flash. There is no conservative cable news. There is less liberal, but not conservative. So, we are already getting our news from AM radio, and the internet. But, being the well informed person that you are, I'm sure you already knew that.
LMAO, that would be a newsflash. Look, this sort of debate could rage on forever, but please try and make the case that Fox News is not the conservative/GOP mouthpiece.
Nope, those were the words of the news article. Not me.
And 68 is, by any objective measure, old. Human life spans in the U.S. are maybe 10 years beyond that.
"Between that and the demographic shift in the U.S., how will the Republican party keep pace if its mouthpiece no longer catches enough eyeballs?"
So now the topic is FOX is conservative, NOT the age of the viewers?
Another poster challenged the accepted fact that Fox posts news with a conservative bias.
If you can't keep up with the conversation, again, leave. Or at least have the decency to shut up.
Fox News’s biggest problem isn’t the Ailes ouster, it’s that its average viewer is a dinosaur

Thread moved from CDZ because the opener is a political call-out plain and simple.
The CDZ is supposed to be reserved for civil discourse only.
I think you missed his point. LOLThread moved from CDZ because the opener is a political call-out plain and simple.

Then omit the fucking posts that make it NOT civil. Don't move the whole thread because some troglodytes can't hang.

Really? wow, just wow. Ever actually looked at what people are posting? Inevitably threads devolve into no, you are. No, you are. It's really sad. Often times they start out with reasonable discussion then the idiots, on both sides come in, and the adults leave.Seriously you know how ridiculous that sounds and slapped in the face of reality?
The reality is you act like a spoiled toddler, and you're a conservative.
The reality is that far more conservatives than liberals here act like spoiled toddlers. This board is strong evidence of how maturity is associated with being liberal.
I showed an actual study. The conservatives responded with anger and anecdotes. Liberals are reason-based, conservatives are feelings-based.
I wonder how long it will take here. Oh, wait, you already started it.
He didn't start it. It was started by a board conservative who made the snarky "we grow up" [and become conservatives] comment. Read the thread. If this devolves into something personal, it certainly didn't start with his post. Two conservative posters have since weighed in to characterize liberals as whiny children. Meanwhile, liberals in this thread have provided links to articles, studies, and have provided reasonable responses.

Honestly, I see the Trump phenomenon in the GOP as little but a dying gasp of that portion of America that yearns for the days when "white = right" and in spite of one's relative ineptitude and ignorance, one could nonetheless sustain a financially reasonable existence. The rest of the GOP and the Democrats, as well, recognize that the U.S. is shifting every closer to being a full on meritocracy. That's especially and unsurprisingly frightening to those folks who would rather not have to work hard enough to compete with their countrymen to get the "good jobs" that are in abundance now, but that require either intellectual acuity, physical adroitness or both.
- They don't like immigrants because many of them come to the U.S. with either innate business creation ability and motivations or with advanced degrees and technological know how.
- They don't like minorities who are here because increasingly they are ensured of having the same opportunities to demonstrate their ability to be high performers and when they are given that opportunity, they rise to it.
- They want the U.S. to have more low skilled labor jobs, but they expect those jobs to pay on par with skilled labor jobs and yet produce goods/services that must compete with those made elsewhere by low skilled and lowly paid workers. (Nevermind that such a combination of factors of production has never existed profitably.)
That is a nice theory but do you realize that what is being proposed isn't anything new at all but something that has existed for a very long time.
I figured that from their commercials--medications and medical supplies. I don't think young people watch tv news, is all. They get it on their phones.Fox News’s biggest problem isn’t the Ailes ouster, it’s that its average viewer is a dinosaur

I'm sorry, what has the novelty of an idea/proposal to do with its veracity or relevance?
What do you think I/ we was born conservative?
I /we grew up.
