And I state that nicely.

Don't worry, we understand. It's biological.

Summary:
Extremists don't use logic when evaluating information contrary to their beliefs. Instead, the emotional areas of the brain flared up while the areas associated with reason saw no increase of activity.

Interesting - I always wondered what the reason was. I was thinking dropped on head as a child but this explains it all.

i am in no way an extremist... although 500 and FT are admitted extremists. I just look extreme standing next to these left wingnuts....

i AM conservative... but i dont glorify pat robertson.

I would add Blib's name to that list.
*waits for the immature reply and the response that I should be on the list as well*

Fair enough. :)

Blib, I must say I'm not very happy with your choice of a thread title. I don't think it's appropriate to post a thread that personally attacks other posters by name.

I think it's an interesting article worthy of discussion, but not as an attack on some of the members here. In the interests of not precipitating a flame war, thread closed.
