A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

I see so many people struggling with the article because of their own bias or their assumption of what I believe.

I have yet to state an opinion on the article.

To be blunt I’m not a fan of Lott. I think he starts with his conclusion then works backwards but that is my own bias.

His work has been replicated and peer reviewed. The issue I have is he seems to come to a different conclusion than other studies but they do appear to be solid studies that are well done.

One of the critiques always makes me chuckle. People complain that he’s an economist. To me it shows they don’t understand what an economist is or what a PhD is. As someone with a doctorate degree. It makes me chuckle what people think a doctorate degree actually is.

No one is struggling with the article. It just doesn’t say what you say it does and you’re completely sealioning everyone here with your fake civility.

If Blamemeta actually had any care for fostering discussion about conservatism here, he wouldn’t be telling everyone else to stay civil except you while also excusing your dishonesty.

I didn’t say anything about it. I’ve never asked you for more citations. You’re the one who is sealioning. All the information is in the article but you seem confused by it. I’m not being dishonest. You’re being a little nutty to be quite frank. Talking about we. Claiming I made a statement about it when I didn’t.

I posted the article and provided experts from you Mr attempt to sea lion. I didn’t add anything to it. You went to fantasy land and created a strawman after your attempt to sea lion failed.

So strange. Be well

You clearly have a mental issue that you should get checked out. Everything you just said is demonstrably false.
