[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77658017, member: 412388"] The links you were given were to Pew. Guess who they ask to get their figures on people's opinions. Yeah, it's Joe and Jill Citizen. So I dunno, maybe you did the same and selected a cross section of people in a big city and rang them up and asked them. Maybe you went door to door. Or maybe what you actually did was read a few opinion pieces from people with an agenda who tell you lies to try and convince you that they are right. My guess is that you want to believe them because it fits in with what you'd prefer to believe. And trust me, that's the easiest way to get fooled. People telling you exactly what you want to hear. So why not spend a little time and investigate for yourself. Look for something that backs up your view. Look for something solid that we can discuss. 'Cos quite frankly, it ain't called 'watching and listening' (which in itself if you actually did it, is only relying an anecdotal evidence). What it really is is forming opinions that themselves are based on opinions that themselves are based on lies. [/QUOTE]
