Well we can shoot if they pose a threat

Is your name a joke or serious xD

Its kinda both

What does it mean

Is it just about stopping gay pride or about stopping gay people in general?

Just kinda stopping it in general. In my opinion they dont really contribute to much just because they are gay.

Oh lol

Lol I should go through a college campus with a shirt that says that

But i dont wanna go up to gay people and tell then to not be gay

I’d get murdered

No you would just get twitter shamed

Probably

I don’t mind gay people imo I’m kind of libertarian on the issue I don’t really judge people based on sexual orientation

With a bunch of posts that are threatening but don't actually pose one.

Me neither

I want to share my ideas but people like to take things out of context and only favor their side.

Ah

Alot of left media cherry pick data

Yeah I hate that too, both sides do it sadly

I just got to the fbi tables and save the pic

And also copy the link

You are right tho both sides do

Sometimes there are misinformed conservatives

Yeah I just think it’s a common human characteristic that a lot of people have regardless of ideology or party affiliation, they want to be right so they cherry pick facts and data to prove their point, instead of looking at it objectively and trying to find out what’s right or wrong

A lot of people already formed an opinion on something before they actually research it, so they go into researching it with a bias and will be more likely to cherry pick

I conduct research myself. If i find a whole data table the supports me, im happy. I don't cherry pick or look for skewed data. I always go to government sites. Like the FBI & CDC.

One thing i do want to put my two cents in is the Kavanaugh hearing.

The accusations did not happen until it so happened to be a Republican was running for supreme court justice, that someone came out and said something. If this happened in highschool, she could have reported it. If i was her and i got raped i would have stoped at nothing to make sure my rapist gets served justice. So why is it that she comes out when he runs for the position.

As

@chad do you think the average man is capable of overcoming his own confirmation bias, or is independent (primary source) research beyond his reach?

Hmmm

Honestly I’m not sure lol, I know in every group there’s people who are incapable of doing that but I’m not sure whether the average man is or not

If you really wanted to you could find primary sources and scientific articles but the thing is they are hard to come back unless you specifically look for them

identifying sound methodology is definitely out of reach lol

It’s not out of reach it’s just that a lot of people don’t do it

They get all their information or most of it from biased news sites or partisan hack commentators

The thing with articles in academic journals is that contentious issues have very nebulous data, and the bias of the authors has a significant effect on how they fill in the holes for their interpretation

illegal immigration is a good example of a topic where good statistical work just doesn't exist or is very hard to find amidst the partisan garbage

Ah idk I’ve never read any academic literature about illegal immigration

I don't recommend it

But that’s believable, but the thing is when trying to get to the bottom of something you have to get informations from both sides of the isle which the average man doesn’t do
