Now that is an interesting point....how one can understand the subjectivity (non-scientific) of gender confusion (when their is evidence to the contrary) and then throw a tantrum over the idea of creation.....
For the record as an Agnostic I believe all ancient writings of religious beliefs need to acknowledge they were written by humans and deconstructed to the time of the writings to understand the messages..

Polls are evidence? Like in 2016 with Hillary...My opinion is the non-technical studies non-advanced and advanced are more liberal...but I agree with you that "Gender studies", Journalism, Poli Sci....yep liberal....I have found the hard sciences and the practical utilization of that body of work are more right leaning or like me agnostic
You prove my theory...you think polls are valid evidence of your theory

If that were the case, that would simply just be the case. But its not, and that's why the data is so interesting and why so many people are trying to flip back and forth between different metrics because some metrics are inconvenient. Let's start with an easy one. The US has conducted the most tests of any country in the world. How is that a bad metric? Its not, is the right answer.

Here are examples of high and low MOE problems
1. Your Poll..
Ask 1000 people if they like cats, every 2 weeks for 6 months
What do you think the margin of error would be over the entire 6 months if the MOE was defined as a changed answer?
2. On the very same day as you poll the 1000 people, take a 10lb mass and drop it from a 6 ft platform and calculate the force at which the mass is pulled down
What do you think the MOE of the calculated force will be assuming the MOE is defined as the change in force + or minus .1 m/second squared (all environmental conditions equivalent)
I know what I think

Not talking about insurance and setting rates (I'm sure there is no bias in that market to skew results...another topic)...I'm talking about how the scientific method is necessary to provide valid assessments that drive valid conclusions, it seeks to minimize assumption and subjectivity, which pretty much defines how polls are conducted because your data source are people HUGE variable

First, you said by ANY METRIC and it wasn't true. Second, you did exactly what I said keeps happening and dumbing down the conversation. So I guess size matters, and having some money matters. And we need to make adjustments. So let's go in that direction:
Death %
UK - 15.5%
France - 14.5%
Italy - 14.4%
Mexico - 11.9%
Spain - 11.2%
Canada - 8.1%
China - 5.5%
Japan - 4.8%
Germany - 4.4%
US - 4.3%
So how is that a bad metric?ALL I ASK IS ALL YOU GOT FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES

Click the testing per capita and see the ranking.
The top ranks are skewed heavily by island and very small population nations, which understandably will be a much different divisor that will skew the statistic significantly.
There are only a few major nations ahead of the US in testing for million population.
And on the 7, 30, 60 day rolling average US is doing better than almost anyone by far.
More importantly is how relevant out testing is- and how much better we can identify the cases, and how actual sick people can go get tested without worries of mass transportation being there only Avenue.“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither.

I’m kind of thinking other than healthcare treatment and capacity to do such when someone arrives sick—— All the nations would have ended up with the same statistics they have now regardless of what anyone did.
It’s just a really chittt virus that sucks at the end of the day“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”

Texas deaths top 100 for the first time today.
But yea, the US, thanks to Trump, is handling this so well. Forget 1k, we're well on our way back to 2k deaths per day.
What a phuking shame...all because the cult think wearing a mask is bad due to Trump and because he forced states to open early.

which states are still locked down? name them.
what line of work are you in? serious question.
disappointing to see the shift in mindset where more education is a bad thing. the decline of the US will happen for sure with this idiocracy. without advanced education, what do these people think americans should pursue as careers?It's hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person. - Bill Murray
