BF2S Forums Who Would Win An Arm Wrestle Between A Liberal & A Conservative?

Dude, just read Greenwald's new book on the subject...

Here's a much better article on the same subject...sorry it contains so many words and stuff.

By being true.

How can one stereotype another's physique by their rhetorical skills?

One stereotype that's true, is that liberals are truly smarter!  They go to and graduate from college and have actual degrees, moreso than conservatives.

The question now is, brains or brawn?  I'm not exactly teenie or wimpy, but I'll take brains anyday.    The problem with real liberals is they are too brainy or think too much to a fault..and it's disgusting; aka "Berkeley" and all the subaru driving lesbians and m3 driving fags with their bumpers littered with stickers that make even moderates cringe, their non-stop gabbing about their LGBTBBQ rights and how police are the plague of the universe, and how much the fire department with their flag adorned trucks personally insult them...yadda yadda.  But they are smarter people.

I'd say the smart ones are the people who don't commit themselves to the rigid structured labels of politics. No reasonable person is one thing on all issues.

And if we want to talk about degrees, let's talk about useful degrees and success in the workforce...

Dude, it's a survey.  "blue states" do in fact have more college graduates.  if you believe that makes you dumber, then that's your call.   even if college degrees don't matter, I've lived in big city populations and rural populations and the folksy "life experience" of you degenerate inbreeders is seriously no match to the high paced, multi-tasking geniuses that make big cities run..in regards to the 'street smarts' you're alluding too as you suggest all liberals get their PhDs in oceanology or other such usless things.

Eh?

You're the one who said liberals are smarter based on the number that have degrees, not me.

I'm assuming the rest of what you wrote is a joke of some sort...

I made a reference to a college project on bias in the media about a week ago and usmarine immediately snapped back at me with "typical liberal college professors"...the right definitely does seem to have somewhat of a chip on its shoulder about their poor representation amongst the US academia!

I'd personally rather a doctor of Oceanography than a pig farmer running my country.

Great!  Nice fargin thread..now we get to see   a n n e   c o u l t e r's repugnant face in the ads..and now   n e w t's.  talk about triggering ye 'ole gag reflex!

Point blank, liberals make more money than conservatives.  How would you define "success in the workforce"?

Source? How do you arrive at that claim?

This same article is posted around everywhere, that's where I heard it before.  I'm looking in every nook and cranny for the facts and figures, and I can't find any.  I'm thinking now this was just another cuntservative self-masturbatory propoganda piece.  I should know better than to believe this stuff.

The data is in there somewhere, but I couldn't be arsed to go get it.  If Bill Gates is a liberal, he just blew the curve anyways.

The Liberals would declare defeat before the contest was over. The Conservatives would hire contractors to come in and do the job for them.

(jokes) I hope no one is actually taking this thread serious.

YER Such an a-hole!  I'm so reporting you to...to...the other mod!!

lol.. you actually did.

Has anyone ever seen a gay conservative?



btw this myth or whatever you call it is clearly an American thing

Conservatives just like to spew the word "liberal" when either 1) they don't know the full information on a topic 2) they've run out of things to say, or 3) they're losing an argument.

I'm neither a liberal or a republican (moderate independent ftw), and I can count how many times I've been called a liberal. Yeah, I'm such a liberal, supporting the death penalty and all.
