Talk:Mystery:Why is Phonics Taught in the UK but not the US? (view source)
Revision as of 18:32, May 13, 2008
, 18:32, May 13, 2008This is evidence?
::: Murray, your cite is meaningless and you seem to be playing the "you haven't proven it yet" game again. Pull up some meaningful illiteracy data and we can both take a look, and I doubt either of us will be surprised by its implications for party support. A scan of the internet reveals independent observations that illiterate voters tend to vote Democratic. Indeed, no one seems to seriously doubt it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:22, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

:::::So you're (again) suggesting that '''"a scan of the internet reveals independent observations that....no one seems to seriously doubt it"'''. You're really, seriously, considering that this statement reflects adequate research for your theory? You're a lawyer, I believe? I'm just asking, because, you know, you can find web pages on "the internet" that claim that George Bush and Dick Cheney planned the attack on the WTC on 9/11. It's not a reliable source, "the internet". What would a judge think if you showed up in court and presented your case that "the defendant is guilty because a bunch of people on the internet said so"? Is that acceptable evidence? What are your sources for your theory? [[User:GaryK|GaryK]] 14:32, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
:::: Does http://www.ccsu.edu/AMLC06/Political_Literacy.htm work for meaningful data? You can also examine the methodology of the study (something very useful in making any claim). On the other hand, you are making the claim above and as I understand it, "the burden is on the person who makes the claim that something happened to support."[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Wikipedia&diff=291546&oldid=291536] --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 13:59, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
