    If you can't keep up with a conversation, then don't try. You're doing this on purpose and it's obvious because you don't have any good rebuttal.

    I don’t? You live in a generational poverty stricken region that is like Mayberry?

    It's as close to Mayberry that exists today.

    Another thing to keep in mind is there are people that grew up watching all sorts of propaganda religious and otherwise and because it was the only thing they were allowed to watch they liked it.

    Kids are easily influenced and the fact that a bunch of kids are coming here to this thing is more reflection on their parents.

    And it's pretty much the same with drag queen story hour.

    It's two sides of the same coin

    According to the US census [source] the median per capita income is $23,061, the area is classified as largely rural and is slightly behind the national average on personal and property crime.

    Are you really trying to compare a very rural area of the county — Ozark County has a population of 8,782 (2021) — to large cities?

    Hell, I thought my city in TN was small with 70K people but your entire COUNTY is almost a tenth of that.

    New York for example has a population of almost 9 million people

    You have to be joking

    I have no idea where ozark county is, never heard of it. (ETA I just googled it, it's in MO, I'm in AR)
    Why would I be joking? Small towns are great and the people are too. Also, they usually lean conservative and religious. No crime, good people, good place.

    Only participants from one side wants to arrest parents though:
    I may have missed it but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a liberal poster here say the same about parents taking their kids to religious services, even in light of the continued scandals

    What do you not understand about population density?
    How many people live in your town?

    Is there a certain criteria I must meet? Is population density an excuse for having morally corrupt people and high crime?

    I'm not sure I've seen a liberal poster here that's kind of a thing of the past.

    It was to prove a point but it’s irrelevant

    Your version of morality is subjective. I believe it is immoral to not feed the hungry, promote educational advancement for our youth, efforts to protect our water and air, accessible healthcare — To some wearing a hijab is an indication of morality that you would likely fail. You need to point to specific items if you want to address “morals” as I have no idea what you mean.

    If you want to read about the inverse relationship population density globally has with crime you can do so here or here.

    It happens even in very conservative towns and cities once they start growing and typically as they grow more business come to the area causing an influx of higher paid higher educated individuals that eventually turn the area from conservative to liberal.

    I provided you an example

    I agree, this forum has turned strongly conservative — almost like it’s by design.

    I'm beginning to think the Republicans have become the new liberals today. What you see from the left is not really liberalism.

    an example of what?
    And this is more of a perspective thing to come across people that are on the right of me and they say this forum is very left wing. It strikes me as pretty balanced.

    Well liberals have to be Republican because the left is authoritarian or another word for authoritarian is anti-liberal.

    I had someone telling me that Elon musk was far right.

    Any disagreement at all with the left that's not tolerated that is absolutely anti liberal.

    Yeah Republicans are liberal that's where all the liberals are.

    I think a lot of people are stuck in 1996 back when Rush Limbaugh was going against the liberals and they're just Frozen in that time period and you can't move beyond

    Right wing individuals wanting to arrest parents

    Poll results don’t typically indicate that — why then did you say there were few liberal posters especially on a global scale?

    Is that what you meant by participant?
    Polls are based on opinions lots of authoritarians pretend to be liberal that doesn't mean that they are.

    Or they're not aware that they're not liberal anymore.

    The plural of anecdote is poll data

    Maybe yes, maybe no, but it's strongly anecdotal and backed up by a similar methodology over time. Data like that needs to be accepted.....

    SNIP
    The Center’s analysis is based on DW-NOMINATE, a method that uses lawmakers’ roll-call votes to place them in a two-dimensional ideological space. It is designed to produce scores that are comparable across time. This analysis focuses on the first dimension, which is essentially the economic and governmental aspects of the familiar left-right spectrum and ranges from 1 (most conservative) to -1 (most liberal). (For more details on DW-NOMINATE and this analysis’ geographical definitions, read “How we did this.”)

    I mean the results of polls here
    I assumed you were trying to discuss data that can be seen and / or measured and not just your opinion

    I am uninterested in opinions not based in some type of logical premise with an observable metric.
