If we're not careful, women voting will make a HUGE difference in outcomes, too. Let's not let the young or the women listen to any of that 'constant messaging' because they are 'so massively ignorant of history, civics...' What a tard. |
@pierce, "revanchism" is my new word for the day... ;)

With two kids through HS and one graduated from college, it has become increasingly apparent that teachers are teaching the students what they need to pass some state test more so than to think on their own - regurgitating facts and formulas instead of HOW to think. |
It is true but that is a separate issue. I don't see it is full out indoctrination though (which the article implies).
Also, I strongly disagree that voting for Romney was in the best interests of my generation. That is the main point that irks me. Quote:

I know. I agree with you.
I criticized the article's implication that our poor critical thinking education is causing young voters to vote against their own interest. First, I don't think my generation's critical thinking skills are any worse than you old timers :p:. Second, I don't think voting for Romney was in my generation's best economic or social interests. |
I'm pretty convinced my g-g-g-generation is about as dumb as all that came before it, but not much more. The stupid people are just, via the internet, much, much more obvious.

I'm repeatedly amazed how many people don't know how the government works/is supposed to work, and are not embarrassed by that. In fact some tell me are proud of not knowing, and they feel not participating makes them guiltless in anything that bad happens in the world/country. "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for him/her/them."
I don't know which is scarier, the ones that opt out, or the ones that vote uninformed. |
I'll take the uniformed for $200 please.

No way. I'm much happier with folks who don't bother than people who don't know shit about what they're doing.
...especially since conservatives have a MUCH higher percentage of "low-information" voters. |

Absolutely, uninformed/misinformed is equally prevalent in every segment, by party, by location, or any other designation.

You can't find anyone now that voted for Nixon, and soon it will be the same with Romney. :rolleyes: |
