For once I didn't cause this...

   

:roll: Spare me the guilt trip. You responded after I did more then once.

I did every once in a while, but I wasn't aware it was my responsibility.

   

I did too. Seems some of us have a selective memory.

   

I think rather his claim should be proven before we have to dispute it. If not then I can claim my next door neighbour is a rapist and it's up to him to prove he isn't.

   

Too much work to prove someone wrong who hasn't proven they were right in the first place.

   

yes I knew conservatives would get upset even though that wasn't my intention, what was I supposed to do not post something that I think is true just because it's going to upset a few people. It wasn't insulting, I wasn't derogatory in anyway I didn't say conservatives are less educated, or dumb or stupid or lazy whatever Tricks imagines.

I've dug up some surveys that support my argument, its not damning evidence by any means but I think its relevant to the argument that on average Conservative voters have less academic qualifications.

The higher the education level, the more likely Canadian young adults were to feel that the sponsorship controversy is the type of thing that goes on in most political parties. Conservative (33%) and Bloc (23%) voters are more likely to say that the sponsorship controversy was a unique incident. A large majority of Liberal (76%), NDP (75%) and undecided (78%) voters are more likely to say that type of thing goes on in most political parties.

A large majority of Canadian young adults agreed that Canada was right not to join the US missile defence shield (86%). Resident of Quebec and the Atlantic provinces are more likely to agree that Canada was right not to join the US missile defence shield (92% and 91% respectively). Young adults with a college (89%) university (87%) or post graduate degree (92%) are more likely than those with high school education or less to agree that Canada was right.

Conservative voters are the most likely to disagree that Canada was right (31% disagree), while Bloc voters are the most likely to agree Canada was right not to join the missile shield (94% agree

Citizens with higher income ($60K + and eductaion levels (university degree)) are more likely to have a better understanding of Paul Martin's policies...

As education level rises the proportion that believes Paul Martin would make the best Prime Minister rises (29% less than high school, 34% high school, 38% some post secondary or college diploma, 47% university degree)

edit in bold, hope it makes sense now

   

wasn't that part of Harper's new crime bill

   

I'm sure it's true because I heard it on the CBC, when I was tending my roses out here on Hornby Island.
lol.
Have to go now to get more beer & popcorn.

   

I'd like to put my international experiences, education and training up against Icecap and any other paternalistic lefty any day. Rather than sitting in a university, coffee house or in front of the boob tube, I've gone into some some of the shit holes that the left wing induhllectuals, tsk-task about and have tried to make a real difference.

   

You sure know a lot about nothing.

   

it was a joke you humourless drone

   

another one I don't care if you personally been to the moon, show me some evidence with a sample size greater than you and Tricks' dad to support your argument (as I have done).

   

No it wasn't, a joke is meant to humour.

   

yes I can see you automatically wouldn't find any joke aimed at the Conservative party funny
