| averagejoel 07/30/21 1:06:27 PM #48 | zeppelin4ever42 posted... Considering that vaccinated people make up only about 7% of infections in the US (according to the article in the OP), I would guess yesit's worth paying attention to the way information is framed in stories. for example: say 100 vaccinated people attend a party, and 5 unvaccinated people show up; 1 of whom is infected. suppose the other 4 unvaccinated people get infected; and 4 of the vaccinated people also get infected. it could easily be framed as "50% of the people who caught it at this party were already vaccinated!" but it actually means the vaccine is 96% effective I'm not saying your statistic there is misleading in the same way, but we do actually need more information. like 7% of infected people are vaccinated. but what percentage of the general population is vaccinated? (I do trust that it's significantly more than 7%) --- peanut butter and dick |

Of course not.cool. that still has absolutely no bearing on what I'm talking about, and that is a terrible comparison. abortions are still necessary in a practical sense. there are people who will die without them. there are people who will die trying to perform a DIY abortion on themselves if they are publicly inaccessible. personal morals have nothing to do with that, and if someone is opposed to them being provided, they do not support universal healthcare. --- peanut butter and dick |

| averagejoel 07/26/21 8:46:55 AM #161 | FortuneCookie posted... Because when people say "conservative," the vast majority of them mean the political definition and not a literal definition.but if you define it only according to talking points rather than the actual ideology, then pretty much any political view can be associated with several different ideologies. which one it gets associated with is then dependent entirely on how often it gets discussed. like most people on the far left are pro-gun. it's not a super common topic of conversation in my circles, but there definitely are leftists who talk about it more frequently. just because you don't hear them doesn't mean they don't do it. so by your reasoning, that particular view is a far-left view in addition to being a conservative view --- peanut butter and dick |

If you're talking strictly according to rules of fiscal conservativism or being socially restrictive, then I suppose it wouldn't be.yes. the reasonable way to define which views are in line with an ideology is to compare them to said ideology. Personally, I would define a conservative view according to political talking points. The left is often quiet on the issue of gun ownership or vocally opposed to it. Being "pro gun" is solidly a conservative political view.why on earth would you allow talking points to dictate which views are in line with an ideology when the actual ideology exists independently of that? --- peanut butter and dick |
