Joe,

re: Is every rule that has exceptions worthless?

You said:

Actually, there was a some study about people's honesty and various other moral strengths and weaknesses. The researchers asked people if they stole minor things like office supplies from the office to bigger things, about lying about minor to more major things, cheating etc. One of the questions was if the respondents were Democrat or Republicans. When the responses were compared based on party affiliations, the Democrats scored substantially lower on the morality scale than Republicans.

First, if someone would waste time doing a study like that, they would obviously have an agenda.

Second, if you look at policy over the last four years, the Democrats have been more conservative than the Republicans. Clinton was more "conservative" than Bush. So I guess the Democrat/Republican label is more important than the Conservative/Liberal label when determining morality levels.

Third, that stuff is purposely divisionist, and meant for people who don't think.

You've managed to insult half the population by calling them morally inferior, is that really your intention? Just because they happen to be a Democrat? LOL
