Question

You know global warming, evolution, no WMDs etc. etc...

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

With all due respect, the question should read, "Is reality liberal-biased?"

The kind of "reality" to which you refer would seem to indicate that someone thinks "reality" is just liberal spin. What someone perceives as reality (right or wrong), however, is often different from "real" reality.

A conservative person can believe that evolution is a scientific fact. A conservative person can question the whole thing with the WMD (who said what, who was lying, who may still be lying, etc). A conservative person may acknowledge that global warming is what some say it is, or he/she may wonder if there are other fact/factors that are either not known yet or that aren't being included for one reason or another.

Conservative people are not all far-right-wing lunatics who don't acknowledge science and blindly buy whatever the government does or says. The reality is that both liberals and conservatives have their own agendas and often fluff up what they present for their own political purposes. Individuals of either leaning shouldn't just buy what "is out there" hook, line and sinker and call it "reality".

People of all kinds have agendas. Arguments and conclusions are presented by people who share those agendas, and often even expert opinion of people who don't or even common sense are not used when forming the conclusions. Something like the WMD issue is a good example. People apparently believed they were there, and people were (as far as we've been told) wrong.
Now there's the global warming thing. People are presenting a bunch of very convincing arguments, but there is the possibility that all of the facts may not have been factored in. (Science has often believed one thing only to discover that was wrong when the next thing was discovered.)

With regard to evolution, I'm not even discussing that because although some religious and conservative people question that, most conservatives are more science-minded than that. That one doesn't belong in this discussion at all.

So, if you define what you believe to be "reality" as "reality" without considering the possibility that there is a larger reality that has not yet been seen because there are still facts to come in or because a "reality" is simply a deeply held belief; then, yes, your reality is liberal-biased.

There is the saying that in an argument "there is one side, there is the other side, and somewhere in the middle is the truth". I believe, too, that somewhere in middle may be the reality. Sometimes, too, one side sees the reallity. Other times the other side may. True reality can at times be very difficult to really see.

(My "reality" is conservative-biased.)

Kitty people like to talk in circles . Your point is valid . When people have a need to twist your question . This would indicate a need to justify their belief . As for current events as one questioned . The polar icecaps and record heat must be imaginary and not measurable. as for evolution I have been to the mall .. Darwin was 100% :) lol.. WMD one could argue the fact that an auto used in a specific task could be a WMD . So without a specific definition this is a hard point to make or break .

Answer 4

Global warming, evolution, and the fact that there weren't WMDs in Iraq are facts. They have nothing to do with politics. Look to the news in other countries, read about it in detail, talk to people studying in the fields - there is more information to support these claims than there are to refute them.

If your only basis for reality comes from current events, and the things they tell you on the television, you seriously need to broaden your horizons a little.

Each person's reality is defined by their own sets of beliefs and views.

Answer 5

Reality cannot be biased, because it is based on unbiased facts.

However, the mainstream media is the most liberal thng since Howard Dean. Global warming is a scam, put out by liberals who want to make money selling books. Global temperature is relative to solar flares, not to mention it is always fluctuating regardless of outside influence. The medeival periods got hotter than it is now, and there was almost not c02 in the atmosphere.

Global warming is a liberal lie.

Evolution is also BS. Darwinism is simply a sad liberal attempt at making something up that explain how we got here without mentioning GOD. Yes, GOD. The guy who made us, and who is a driving force behind all change. GOD.

But, of course, secular liberals hate God. They don't want to teach our children about Christ or Creationism, not even ID. They are anti-Christianity, that's why they made up evolution theory.

Evolution is a liberal lie.

We have found over 500 canisters of chemically active nerve gas in Iraq alone, and we have also found missiles with warheads and arming devices capable of delivering these WMDs. Bush went in on the premise that there were WMDs in Iraq. The liberals have said, in their usual lies and anti-Bush hatred, that there were not WMDs. They scream "BUSH LIED, KIDS DIED!" This is a LIE. We have found WMDs, lots of them, and now the liberals are recoiling from this whole debacle like a stricken beast.

No WMDs is a liberal lie.

Liberals lie. What else is new?

Answer 6

Reality isn't liberally biased.

I hate to hear enviromental issues sucked into that harsh rhetoric of "lets call it liberal to down play it".

Cause Global Warming is serious and proponents of the theory are just trying to save the world.. I mean there is no profit in them saying "hey, lets slow down and try to treat the enviroment we live in more freindly"

Your kids are going to inheret what we leave.. why leave them with less than we had? Why not protect some marsh lands, why not recycle, why not protect that species of animal its just gluttony otherwise which is sad.

Now educational things like evolution.

Im a christian die hard and I still see no reason for America to be afraid of things that conflict with their religious views. Stop being afraid YES dinosaurs existed, there are bones, democrats didn't dig up the earth millions of years ago and plant them.

Reality isn't liberal/conservative, its us. We are reality, and our beliefs is what shape reality. People thought the world was flat, people think black cats are bad luck, people think babies come from storks, people think the weather man does magic and etc..

Its all about people's views and the bottom line some people are too little educated to become informed.

Its sad.

Answer 7

Yes, there was a joke like this on Comedy Central. I think it was Colbert. He was "interviewing" someone, probably a liberal who was making points on one of these issues. He introjected "reality is biased toward liberals" or something similar.

This is really funny but true if you believe that many so called liberal issues and positions have a lot a factual basis, and the right wing positions contra are just unsupported or insufficiently supported conclusions.

Answer 8

Entropy predicts that eventually the universe will go back to one big amorphous uniformity where no work is done. I think that's the definition of liberalism, so you are right.

"We have previously mentioned that a finite universe may be considered an isolated system. As such, it may be subject to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, so that its total entropy is constantly increasing. It has been speculated that the universe is fated to a heat death in which all the energy ends up as a homogeneous distribution of thermal energy, so that no more work can be extracted from any source."

Answer 9

Liberals deny reality, so your question doesn't really make sense. For example, humans are not destroying the planet - we are lucky earth LETS us live here. Who do you think created evolution in the first place? I'll give you a hint, it starts with the letter GOD! As for WMDs, we all sat and watched the same satellite pics that our government was seeing - and gave them MONTHS to HIDE them - just because they are hidden doesn't mean they never existed. YIKES - stop the drug use!

Answer 10

Of course.

Actually, the "liberal agenda" has been surpressed for so many years that all the issues on it--all the problems neocons and GWB said aren't problems--are coming to get us.

Answer 11

No, reality is what YOU think it is. Every ones idea of reality is different. The same applies to the world Normal!
