It's the Social Sciences, the HR departments and the Administrative departments that appear to have a very strong left Bias.

HR and admin? Ok, I will bite, what evidence do you have to substantiate this claim?

[Katman]

Katman et al:

I have never once asked the Moderators to censure or move any of your Threads.

And I'll give you some small credit for that.

I have it on good authority though that both bogan and husaberk are prolific whingers to the moderators.

Smallpox is estimated to have caused 300 to 500 million deaths in the 20th century alone, before being eradicated in the 1970s by those dreadful vaccines. Perhaps it should have been left in the safe hands of natural immunity, rather than taint immune systems?

fuck yes. have you seen how many white townie cunts there are now?? WAY too fucken many.

There are 2 studies that I'm thinking of (which for the life of me I can't find - so I may edit this later when I get them)

However - as a small bit of Proof:

http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/

I should note - the site doesn't link to the source for their data - but if you look down at the Left wing dominated fields:

Teaching, Social Science, Academic Admin, Academia in general.

Where do you see these, there's none in Queen Street. I'm only guessing, but I think they're a bit sparse around Otara too. You been hanging around Remuera?
You'll get bloody arrested.

And you are correct to note they do not source their data. This website is not a study.
Full disclosure, I am an academic, so I have this annoying habit of wanting to see how the data leading to the results being presented have been obtained, I want to see what analysis has been applied to the raw data, I want to see the results presented in a meaningful manner, I want to see a plausible explanation for the results which have been presented, I want to see how these results compare to other (actual) studies and I want to see how the authors of the study have identified and addressed the limitations of said study (because there will be limitations)
But I guess I am just funny that way.

Hairy Muff - I'll keep digging for the study I'm thinking of.

Probably better you set your sights a little lower, like whole sentences and gud speeling.

I know, can't blame me for trying though!

Sounds good, does it come by the pint?

[bogan]

And I'll give you some small credit for that.

I have it on good authority though that both bogan and husaberk are prolific whingers to the moderators.

One must question how good that authority is, given that only the mods see this information, and you started the thread accusing them of being in cahoots to stifle your free drivel

One may also question if you know what prolific means, given that my reporting of about 10-20 posts in total, over 8 years, falls into such a category. Then again, it's just be more conspiracy theory illogic isn't it; make up shit, but ensure the source is obfuscated so it is not easily fact checked.

Also worth noting, that right now, you're taking this thread off 'topic' by making things personal, only hastening its justified migration to PD. Perhaps the PEBKAC at your end is also in cahoots

You're academic? Well that explains it.
Sometimes things are self evident.

Clearly the kinds people that go for the social sciences have a different mind set than those that go for real science.

[Katman]

However - as a small bit of Proof:

You're very selective with what you deem to be 'proof' aren't you?

[Ulsterkiwi]

Explains what?
Illuminate me what is self evident, please!
Different mind set? Perhaps, a good social scientist is no less of a scientist, they are simply interested in understanding different things. Science is not a particular discipline, science is a way to gain understanding of the world around us so I am not sure what you mean by "real" science in this context.

[Katman]

That's an interesting observation right there.

And I'm sure that if it's at all within your powers, you'll try to make it happen.

After all, that's pretty much what this thread is about.
