You're welcome. I will enjoy being able to provide for my future family some day. I know that makes me evil, and that I'm selling my soul to the devil, yada yada yada.
Oh, ok... Yea, forget "values".. Who wants or needs those, right?
Oh wait, I thought Liberals were the ideologues of values that DO NOT derive from dogma like Religion but from logic...
So far, the only logic you have presented is.... "do as you are prescribed".
Education is mostly it. In MN we are still over 90% white I believe and always go Democrat.
Like most states MN goes democrat because of Minneapolis which overwhelmingly votes democrat like most urban areas. You're also the state who voted Jessie Ventura governor, so much for intelligence.
Slept through the informal fallacy discussions while you were in school as well??
There goes that "intelligence" thing again.
When have I brought up intelligence? Yeah, I'm probably more intelligent than you, but that has nothing to do with this. I don't know why you keep bringing my intellect into this.
I said they're more educated in New England, not smarter. There are plenty of intelligent people who are simply uneducated, and thus believe a lot of stupid things.
Ok, so let me break it down for a (I suspect) Liberal?
(I thought this was the intellectual ideologues....*shrugs*)
To sum it up....
Saying "Most college graduates are Democrats so Democrats are more intelligent by default"
is the same logic as...
"Most jobs hire college graduates so a degree = vocation"
And that couldn't be further from the truth....because all that college is, is a false barrier into the job market. It's only reflective of capacity at the very high percentile and specialized fields. But the truth is, a great share of college graduates are rewarded for simply following instructions and not going off the beaten path.
And that does not require intelligence.
Thats not what he argued though. He said "most people with college degrees make more money" and that is true.
also, if college really was the Democratic re education system as you claim then explain Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney ?
When have I used that logic? The only logic I've used is that I like money. Who doesn't?
And what do values have to do with this? Is getting a degree immoral? No one told me.
And you would probably say my values are based off religion loosely, even though religion is really more based off common human values.
Getting a degree is not "immoral"....the system is rigged for you to pretty much have to get a degree.
The only point I am trying to make is that Democrats being comprised of more college graduates =/= Democrats being a more "intelligent" party. On the same token, having a degree =/= capacity or vocation.
In regards to prestigious institutions like MIT, Yale, Brown etc. etc. But these prestigious institutions make up a very small percent of the population. And these institutions are heavily influenced by special interests. So, even in the case of the "intellectually elite", what direction they cast their ballot holds no significance because people tend to vote in their best interest rather than altruistically or "ethically".
So saying "Democrats are more intellectual" is not true..but the truth isn't any better than the misconception.
