    Do you really believe all the bullshit you post? Be honest....are you trolling or do you actually genuinely believe the crap post here? Not everyone does, that's why I'm asking. You don't owe me an answer, I'm just curious...

    Depends on how you define "bullshit" and "crap".

    Ask a serious question and I'll attempt to provide a serious answer.

    Alright, let me try this:

    Do you actually believe this red state/blue state, right/left, I'm right/you're wrong, black and white world.

    And before you respond, let the words of Barry Ritholtz guide you:

    "I do not care about the output of your cognitive biases, I am disinterested in the myths you cherish, I care little for the mass media rumors that influence you, or the heuristics you believe in. I especially detest the unsupported, commonly believed narratives that you constantly use in the artificial construct you erroneously call reality.

    Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous."

    Why don't you give that another try?

    I couldn't be more clear. It was a very simple question. Perhaps the simplest of all questions that can possibly be asked down here. There is no point to me asking you anything more complicated if you can't answer something so simple.

    Try losing the attitude and rephrasing your question like a grown-up. If you're primarily interested in another rant-a-thon, then no thanks.

    One more time....Do you honestly believe that the world is black and white, red and blue, right and left and most Americans fall on one side of this divider and therefore one can surmise everything there is to know about a person and their beliefs by any single belief by that which they hold.

    Everything db says is a lie. If he ever mans up and admits it publicly, don't believe it!
