i wonder if they experimented what it's like to be an aborted fetus.

"It's one of several environment-related experiments Bailenson is conducting in the lab, all tailored toward revealing whether there are new ways to encourage environmental preservation."

should be changed to

"It's one of several environment-related experiments Bailenson is conducting in the lab, all tailored toward revealing whether there are new ways to encourage fetus preservation.

every day, the hypocrisy of liberals gets worse each day.  the complete lack of balance in education is beyond alarming.

here's what i wrote the researcher.

Hi Jeremy,

read the article on empathy for cattle.  as a former stanford employee and cattle producer, i feel it would be a balanced research project if you could add to your study what it's like to be an aborted fetus and if students empathy for life is changed.

The study sought to uncover whether temporarily "becoming" an aborted fetus prompted reduced abortions.

i am disappointed at the continual onslaught of biased science that  is focused on pushing a left leaning agenda rather than a balanced approach.  do you have any research projects that offers questioning left leaning bias?

thank you.

Left leaning bias lolol

schools and the mainstream media have a paucity of any opinion that differs from progressive democrat agenda.

it is a disgrace that schools can not challenge liberal thought.

the idea that you are laughing is really sad you think there is no such thing as left leaning bias in universities and school infrastructure in general.  you really do appear to have minimal observation skills.

My formed conclusion is just different than yours.  Something along the lines of intellectuals forming like-minded opinions.  Not to mention how silly it is to lump all 'rebublicans' as right-leaning regarding issues of abortion and animal welfare.

They aren't really intellectuals if they are forming the same opinion.

"Intellectuals" eliminate opinions by recognizing bias and set up experiments to eliminate it, not reinforce it through fake science.

A true intellectual questions themselves rather than reinforcing their beliefs through predetermined outcomes or self fulfilling prophesy. The professor Shoukd have also taken a chort and had them slaughter cattle, allowing them to desensitize and compare. The whole experiment is bs.

You're suggesting they came together and THEN formed an opinion. I'm suggesting opinions were formed independently and THEN came together with like minded individuals.  Just as in this forum.

wrong.  i'm suggesting an opinion was formed through group think and ostracizing those who think different and then reinforcing through circular logic, intimidation, hiring practices, funding bias, that any religion, including leftism is a self reinforcing behavior and is therefore, incapable of independent thought.  your theory doesn't allow for change or new data, only that like minded individuals will come together and reinforce their opinions.  they very rationale of tyranny.  why you are so blind to your own logic is funny.

knabe, you bring up some good topics, so I do read your post, but I get tired of everything being tied to abortion.  I am going to say my piece and then let it be. Maybe the study should also include interviews of children that are abused, assaulted, abandoned by parents who didn't want them. Maybe interview the child that had been chained in a closet for years because the parents didn't want the responsibility. Look in the local paper and find the parent that doesn't have money for shoes or a coat for their child, but has a cell phone, drinks and smokes. Then go to a third world country and interview the kids that are starving to death and dying of preventable diseases because the parents can not afford health care. Then go to the house where the boyfriend put the baby in the microwave to "get even" with his girlfriend.  After you get the details there, go to a foster home that have tried for years to adopt a child, but every time the parent gets out of "therapy" the judge gives the child back to be abused.  Proceed to the family who legally adopted a child, only to have the parents fight for, and win custody 4 YEARS after the birth.
So, as you can tell, I am pro choice. I am also mandatory sterilization for child abusers, pedophiles, murderers, and people who are public assistance and have more than 2 children.  If I have to neuter and spay my pets to avoid over population.....

wrong.  i'm suggesting an opinion was formed through group think and ostracizing those who think differently

Sounds like the ag community in general.

You mean human nature.

If choice is so good, why can't we have more of it.
