I think they have their correlation wrong.

Also, I want to know where they are getting these statistics from. What college students could they possibly poll to get those numbers?

Art students from the North or California! At least that's what I figured, liberal and unknowing of well known political subjects? That seems right to me!
But what is ridiculous is the percentage they gave out, what was it? 18%? 18% is a solid number but it is not the entire population as they have treated it.
Those men seemed ignorant and unable to see that people formed their own opinions. They had such bad examples too. There really isn't anything bad with supporting gay marriage and serperating religious prayers from school. Abortion is very controversial as it is and is just a bad example in general. It's such a bad topic to bring up for anything.
Man, Fox News is nothing but a bunch of god damn jive ass motherfucking honkeys.
ew

They did a poll on 14000 students. That really means nothing that is roughly the size of the school I work at. I agree the students are dumb but they are forced to take political science here though. The thing that students lack in is common sense. They walk out in front of cars, don't look where they are going, try to beat lights but don't pay attention to people in crosswalks. I can't tell you how many times I have almost been hit. They also like to stand in the middle of the fucking road and talk wtf? All that is just what they do out side inside is a completely different story trash everywhere and grooming themselves in class
and omg the bathrooms
College doesn't make you stupid it takes away every bit of common sense.
So they're saying smarter people are more liberal.
Also the part where he says, "any flaws in the study?" "I don't know but noooope." is pretty funny.
"Is it better to not go to College than to get this kind of education?"
Oh go fuck yourself FOX.
EDIT: Oh yeah, "How do we fix this?"
OHHH go fuck yourself. And no he's not talking about the dumbing down thing there, but the support of gay marriage and other liberal social issues.
I haven't seen a stupider bunch of dumbfucks in my entire life.
are these guys serious?
FOX News: biggest troll ever
I wonder what mickey mouse piece of shit they pulled those statistics from.
I would like to state that my transition to economic liberalism started with reading the Jungle, so maybe they should try to prevent people from reading next!
Admittedly, where I go to school, what Flyn says is so right about having no common sense on the roads. They have no consideration for cars while crossing or bikes or other people. Also, where I go to school, a political science class is not a prerequisite to graduate, so I could see where some graduates get rusty with their civics.

Also, a sample of 14000. And apparently correlation=causation.
They just aren't trying anymore.
I think that'd only be bad if there were very few differing colleges in the study. Sometimes you can't really have huge data sets. Of course, sampling drift is bound to occur.
And yes, it is a logical fallacy what they're doing there. I bet they'd get worse results from high school grads.
Still, the title of this thread is a tad hyperbolic to the actual discussion that happened.
You know as much as they want to pull this "liberal college" crap I wonder how many folks at yale would fail a piss test for cocaine. Rich republicans love cocaine.
You guys are gonna' hate this prolly, but it's been a longstanding statistical theory that liberals/democrats tend to be better-educated, which is sort of a more positive way of looking at this outcome. If you're a liberal/democrat that is.
I honestly thought I was on The Onion at first. Then I did this :ohdear: and closed out when I saw it was real.
I don't see how it's open to interpretation whether or not homosexuals deserve equal rights under the law, really.
A sample size of 14000 is huge, fyi.
Quote from: BlackberryClock;1731127A sample size of 14000 is huge, fyi.
Out of the entire portion of all Americans who go to or have gone to college? Let's put these things in perspective.
Quote from: CAPTAIN CONDOM;1731134Out of the entire portion of all Americans who go to or have gone to college? Let's put these things in perspective.
Perspective: a representative sample does not include the entire available population.
This is a huge sample for any study.

i mean he was probably a closeted homosexual with a cocaine habit.

Do you think people who don't or didn't go to college really know more about civics.

Quote from: RibsClock;1731107Why would the clock crew hate this? We're the den of liberal elitists Fox is always talking about aren't we?
No. Actually the Clock Crew is pretty close to moderate on both sides, and from what I remember there were more self-proclaimed conservatives here than liberals.
Quote from: ToyotaClock;1731401No. Actually the Clock Crew is pretty close to moderate on both sides, and from what I remember there were more self-proclaimed conservatives here than liberals.
This is because conservatives like to rub their conservatism in everyone's gay pinko commie face.

Marlin and Roman and ?
RomanCollar?
I personally find it limiting to confine oneself to the doctrines of any one political party.
Also, from what I've seen every political party ever is terrible.
EDIT: Except for the Rhinoceros Party. Those guys (and animals) were gold.
I honestly don't give a darn fuck about who is liberal, democrat, conservative, republican, nazi, minister, dalai-lama, jewish, black or whatever. I just want people to know what they are doing.
Also I regret starting this thread now.

Quote from: MCP;1731417Clam and I voted Conservative.
RomanCollar or was it Roman? Either one admitted they felt betrayed by the Bush legacy and no longer hold to a Republican Party but still cling to Conservative ideologies.
I guess he realized the current Conservative parties care more about corporate and business gain for the few than protecting the rights of the many. As the Tory's call it, "A complete betrayal to Conservative values" - and then they ceased to exist in Canada.
I don't hold to Conservative doctrine but I base my vote by each candidate in an election, not purely by which party they stem from. Given the choice, I don't know if I would vote Conservative again but given his awful competition, one would be hard pressed not to.
canada doesn't count
Someone add a wordfilter that changes FOX News to ~*Troll News*~.

so are we keeping this thread bumped until roman's ban runs out?
Quote from: Slurpee;1731652so are we keeping this thread bumped until roman's ban runs out?
Unban him just for this thread I wanna see some blood.
Foreverkul's Law states that if anyone predicts Roman freaking out before he posts in a thread, he won't.
