Did you even read the piece? She refers to others opinions (and a report) as well. But of course, none of those opinions have any merit as they don't coincide with your own.
You rarely intelligently discuss/debate any article that differs to your own views, you just automatically dismiss it.

Do you consider it a good, well-balanced article?

I did and I deemed it to be nothing more than someone who was used to having a majority opinion not being able to handle being part of a minority. The 'study' is dubious at best too given that Dr. Steve Davies is a conservative supporter, asking him to come up with balanced study on the left wing is foolishness since, due to his political allegiances, he cannot be trusted to be unbiased when it comes to any kind of study regarding people in opposition to his views.

Here's a tip Jet, just because someone quotes a study doesn't make what they are saying more viable or factual especially when the studies they are quoting are fatally flawed from the outset. Perhaps you shouldn't take things at face value like you have here? Perhaps, like me, you should take a little time to look into sources and studies to asxertain whether they are trustworthy or not.

As for your insults, they are hypocritical and therefore meaningless and that's all to be said in that, perhaps try to stick to the topic at hand instead of trying to bait people into insulting you back? Just a thought.

Nail on the head Jet. Usually dismissed with considerable hostility.

The Biggest Error is Banning Right Wingers
on a Open debate in a University.

We used be able to sit on a Panel with left wingers
but now they blocked it.

This thread is Correct

Anyone who has an opinion against socialism may be questioned as to why they feel that is important...which is maybe met with silence as basically today what is the alternative?
