My comment was a bit vague...If you had referenced the cited poll as qualifying your terms in the body of the nuke question then liberal == democrat would have been a known and smoother over the gums ..the title question would have still raised hairs. Point being without the poll defining your terms liberal == democrat cannot be inferred. "liberal and conservative certainly feel ideological, but not political". Yes they are ideological. EXCEPT in current US politics where liberal, conservative, communist and fascist are just political invectives. Reality sucks. | |

| Mar 11, 2011 at 22:23 | comment | added | Borror0 | @Dogmarog: The objections to the questions come from three sources: the meaning of the terms vary greatly from region to region; your unconventional use of bias is confusing; it lacks proper context, so people think it's off-topic. | |

| Mar 11, 2011 at 22:10 | comment | added | Dogmafrog | What about the example from my skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/677/…. It asked a purely stastical question, and was answered well by a poll. But people felt it was poisoned, even though the question contained no qualitative remarks about the relative correctness of the opinion. It could have been framed better with a regional context (in the US, in France, etc) but the question is an objective one answered by statistics, and debunks a widely held belief that US liberals are opposed to nuke energy. | |
