Discussion: Liberal v. Conservative

All,

Great fruitful arguments have their foundations in deep ideological differences.

Creation v. Evolution
Religion A v. Religion B
Choice v. Life
Nature v. Nurture

Liberal v. Conservative borrows from these and more; it is not an argument in and of itself, but a set of arguments that intertwine and inform one another. A constant churn of discourse. The great sociopolitical rivalry of our time.

Exchange ideas central to the ideological conflict.* Above all, truly try to understand the other side--if it's inconceivable now, even better; try harder. Ask about the background that led your ideological complement to their beliefs. Ask them about their certainty and conviction in their beliefs.

I'll begin: Clearly, either SSH has more liberal posters than conservative ones, or liberal posters are more active in the Politics subforum. Which is the answer, and why do you think that's the case? For example, if you think the SSH has more liberal posters, why do you think more liberal posters visit the site?

*As a disclaimer, the thread's title is a bit tongue in cheek. Treat each other with respect.
