Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

The More You Know...


We hear it often, especially when referring to political polls:

“Among college educated [women, men, Whites, etc.]...”.

Now, I believe that every cog in the employment wheel is important and worthy of respect.  But why bring one's education level up during polling?  Well, I also believe there’s a good reason.  

Question: Granted, it’s not a hard and fast rule, but why is it, on balance, that the more education you have, the more liberal you tend to skew, politically?

Explain it.
