[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1291091, member: 10001"] Snipped to avoid too long a post. Lets face it, the situation is a mess mostly of our own doing. Right here on this forum, frequented by people that have at least one thing in common, we hardly agree on anything, if you consider the entire population, you can multiply this situation by a few orders of magnitude and you have a bigger mess. Swimming in this mess, I try to go by ideology not personalities or party labels. I see that there is a difference in beliefs, goals, how the society is viewed; that's what determines my support. Research by the National Science Foundation on several topics such as gun control or the Global Warming hoax shows the predispositions we all have. Here is part of the paper on Global Warming that I find interesting and is similar to gun control and other issues. "The cultural theory of risk posits that individuals can be expected to form risk perceptions that reflect and reinforce one or another idealized “way of life.” Persons whose values are relatively hierarchical and individualistic will thus be skeptical of environmental risks, the widespread acceptance of which would justify restricting commerce and industry, activities that people with these values prize; persons with more egalitarian and communitarian values, in contrast, resent commerce and industry as forms of noxious self-seeking productive of unjust disparity, and thus readily accept that such activities are dangerous and worthy of regulation."
