Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal?

One of my dumbest roomates happened to be a civil engineer. He thought french fries were made of bread. :laugh:
He couldn't tell you who participated in WW2 with any degree of certainty. He was girl candy though, so I kept him around
as a bird dog.

Too funny ... thanks for sharing that ... I met a lot of those types in school ... they made up math problems for their friends to solve for fun.

They didn't know much about anything except math, physics, computers, and engineering ... some good guys.

Sam Clemmons lies lies and stats. Your STEM brethren who have advanced degrees in the most difficult field of mathematics (statistics) probably don't appreciate you diminishing them.
Anywho, hand waving dismissal isn't an argument I'm afraid. Until you have better data, then I have all the evidence, and so win the case.
Why are advanced degree recipients liberal? You have a theory, but if you have no facts, it's nothing. It's just your prejudice by definition.

The OP says highly ed more liberal, (not more intelligent, although thats arguably not much of a stretch) the data supports that. Hell, your party even has made a cottage industry decrying the fact, but they don't say it's not a fact.

Pardon me there M but I was referring to data being used to support beliefs whether the data backs up that belief.

He compiled all this data and what did it tell him ... not much.

Fair enough. I guess that's why it's a discussion. I still wonder why there is the gravitation.

What the fuck difference does that make? a bailout is a bailout. Just as you whined and cried when Obama saved GM.

its funny.....when you hand out credit for the bail out its Obama saved GM........when we talk about national debt, its Bush's spending........let's just agree to give credit to Obama for giving GM to the labor unions and tally the cost of it to Obama's deficits........

Because when a professor asks a question about a controversial subject and virtually every student in the classroom has the same opinion there ain't much critical thinking going on.
