<i.Speaking of the internet however, why is it conservative websites outnumber liberal ones by such a large number? I would be interested to see the exact numbers. Where did you find them?

Interesting the way you avoided the question entirely. You missed his point. You had the wrong question to begin with. It's not a question of intelligence, it's a question of active vs. passive thinking. You can have people that measure as "intelligent" on some test, but have little or no capacity for independent thought. You can find very "intelligent" people that believe certain races should be exterminated. Milosovic is a very "intelligent" guy. Speaking of the internet however, why is it conservative websites outnumber liberal ones by such a large number? Message 18377004 You seem to suggest that large approval numbers implies something positive about the group. If a large number of people agree, they must be right. That's nonsense. There are numerous example where conventional wisdom has been shown to be wrong throughout history and sliding right into today....Anywhere from where the center of the universe is to what the conventional wisdom is about smallpox. I have no doubt that you are quite capable of listing examples of where your opinion differs from that of the general public. Are you going to acknowledge that they are right and you are wrong? Are you going to acknowledge since the general public had high approval ratings for Clinton for his policies that they were right and you were wrong. Are you going to agree that global warming is real because the majority of countries and/or scientists believe that it is real? I'll bet not. You can hold the contradiction with ease. When "the group" agrees with you they are right; when "the group" disagrees with you, they are wrong. But you'll imply that group approval has some bearing on whether it's correct. jttmab
