Here is a chance for libs to speak

That's fine for visual thinkers. I am a pattern thinker. The matrix is the source of my inspiration. I mean a formal matrix, the one that gives you determinants and inverses. The ones where [X'X]-1 * [X'Y] gives you ordinary least squares, dispensing with memorizing formulas to do statistics. Matrices are the basis of programming arrays/collections of any number of dimensions, decision contingencies, differential equations. They are the key to many mathematical and scientific advancements.

You are reminding me of the time I spent as a math major in college, playing with differential equations and all. Now STOP IT!!!

Did your College have a Football Program (Even Division 3) ??

Dude, I went to Cal-Berkley, one of the top colleges in the nation.

In the name of fairness (obama's new favorite term) I would require cognitive and logical thinking, so as to diminish the effects of fantasy based thinking that results in posts such as this one below.

I would make it so guys' balls would swell up several days each month. Accompanied by bloating, cramps and 24-hour diarrhea.

I would also make it a law that those who oppose abortion have to adopt at least one "unwanted" child. Because every life is precious, ya know?

As God, I would also turn random white conservatives into poor blacks, illegal Mexicans or Muslims. So they can know how the other half lives.

This thread has kind of puzzled me for a while.

Why did anyone have to open a thread, in order to give liberals a chance to speak out and say things?

They've been able to do that for years, decades, centuries. And all without some thread to "give" them the opportunity. Something in the 1st amendment about that, in fact.

Yet all we've gotten from them, in my memory at least (I can't speak for the first century or two, sorry), boils down to "Government will fix it" and "Anyone who disagrees is eeeevil and we can do to them whatever we like, starting with stealing everything they've got".

The absence of material solutions from liberals that actually work, has nothing to do with the lack of threads being opened for them.

That is, in fact, significant. But probably not in the way the OP intended.

Unlike conservative Republicans, liberals don't need to be told what to think. That is why there are no liberal radio/TV talking heads and no liberal equivalent of Fox News.
Liberals often disagree with each other. Which is why lib members of Congress often support conservative measure they agree, rather than voting as a block for the benefit of "party unity."
Liberals tend to be more educated and question the government more often. We can voice unpopular opinions without fear of the party hierarchy calling us out. That is why there are so many unscripted gaffes. Speaking off the cuff can be a dangerous thing in this era of the everpresent "gotcha" media.

your post sounds like it came straight outta the dems talking heads playbook

well, Im certainly glad this thread is all about God,,,,I think the lack of response to the real topic means they really dont have an answer and can only bitch about things like gabby is proving in this thread

as for visual vs pattern thinkers, it sounds a bit confusing to me.
I think we might be comparing apples to oranges, there are lots of different types of thinking, but also purposes of different thinking.

and wind song is using two different types of visual thinking in her examples of "proof", visual thinking to create new ideas or solutions, vs visual thinking to help performance.

as for your pattern thinking, your statement is a bit incomplete, "inspiration" for what?
Math being my favorite subject, I relate to your "pattern thinking",
I will tell you one thing though, your distaste for memorizing equations is based in your instructors not teaching you what equations really are,

a true mathmetician never memorizes equations, they simply come to understand them, then no memorizing is neccessary. Math is simply a language, and equations are thoughts, thinking about equations as something to memorize is the philosophers equivalence of memorzing statements such as, I think, therefore I am, when you really need only to understand it, not memorize it.

and Im not sure what you mean by "decision contingencies"?

Unlike conservative Republicans, liberals don't need to be told what to think..

no, they just need to be told what to do, which is why they support big govt dominating our lives, like obama care,

That is why there are no liberal radio/TV talking heads.

had to take a break and clean up the beer I just spit up after reading that.

and no liberal equivalent of Fox News..

yep, FOX news has no equivalent, even though all the liberal stations are still trying to achieve FOX's superior ratings.

Liberals often disagree with each other. Which is why lib members of Congress often support conservative measure they agree,.

You mean like how they have been able to come up with a budget,,,,errrr, THREE YEARS AGO, AND NONE SINCE????

rather than voting as a block for the benefit of "party unity.".

OPPPPPPS, just when I thought the limit of your idiotic thinking could surprise me no more, here I spilled my beer again.
SERIOUSLY, YOU REALLY THINK THERE IS MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES?
I see them both as evil twins, and only vote republican because it supports big govt LESS than the dems do, you are the fool falling for the evil twin who is stealing your money and claiming its ok cuz twin brother is doing something something so much worse, like taking away your abortion

rights, and while your rightous indignation makes you exclaim. "YOU ARE SO RIGHT, THEY ARE TRYING TO DENY ABORTIONS", the evil twins are pick pocketing you and laughing all the way to the bank while you do some more in depth philosopical reading about abortion rights and those evil republicans, to make yourself feel better and superior to those dumb twitted red neck republicans while the dems are stealing you blind.

Liberals tend to be more educated.".

yea, like Jimmy Carter,,,educated while not logging in one digit of common sense,

and question the government more often..".

yea, but the question is, "oh holy one, big government, how can we make you bigger and more powerful, after all, without you, the idiot simpleton american people will have to solve their own problems, and we know they cant do that, oh holy one, how can we make you more powerful?", and the "oh mighty holy one" spoke out of the clouds to you with this answer OBAMACARE !!!!

We can voice unpopular opinions without fear of the party hierarchy calling us out..".

ONLY problem is you never do.,,,

That is why there are so many unscripted gaffes..".

gaffes eh, so Biden is merely expressing unpopular opinions? hahhah, or just REALLY STUPID BONE HEADED IDEAS,

Speaking off the cuff can be a dangerous thing in this era of the everpresent "gotcha" media.

Yea, the ever present super conservative media like NBC, CBS, AND ABC.

Her inane babbling has given me countless hours of amusement over the years. I'm just glad it was free or I'd be bankrupt.

sad thing is she might still believe every word of that.
I know some liberals do.
