http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/08/09/ ... tml?hpt=C1 The story is just fluff but buried deeply in there was this little gem: Quote: A series of studies conducted at the University of Michigan in 2006 showed that political partisans, when exposed to facts that corrected their assumptions, rarely changed their minds. They actually held even tighter to their assumptions. That explains this place! |

The simple fact that they even said they conducted "studies" for something so retarded proves to me that they are full of **** and indicates that likely the opposite is true. I see people change their minds all the time, regardless of what their "studies" may say. What a load. |

I am proud to say I now know that this is utter crap. |
