On a personal level I’m a bit surprised that you would politicise cancer research? Is it because Biden beat Trump to it? Something about LBJ and what his opponents may, or may not, have done with pigs - he just wants to hear him oppose it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So older, more experienced people tend to vote Republican and, younger inexperienced people tend to vote Democrat.

There is a correlation between education and which party is voted for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted June 21, 2019 #129 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Quote Biden announced. "We're gonna cure cancer." The crowd cheered in response https://www.livescience.com/65717-biden-cancer-cure.html The crowd is even more ridiculous than he is.

You seem to imply it is education, but education is often the same across a entire person's lifetime. Age = experience.... IMHO Education often is static from young to old.

It is a Western failure that we disparage the knowledge of our elders. Perhaps older people have more complex brains after living so long? That would be measurable. I'll look into it. EDIT: Found this... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8758971/ Quote The results confirm the hypothesis: after a jump in the brain dynamics complexity during puberty a linear increase with age is observed. During maturation (7-25 years), the maximum gain in complexity occurs over the frontal associative cortex. Now we just have to show that brain complexity is related to greater experience. Which I believe is so obvious I shouldn't have to even post a link. Edited June 21, 2019 by DieChecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not being pompous it's just fact so don't get butt hurt. Haven't you ever heard people asked "Don't you wish you could go back to when you were 30?" and the answer invariably is "Only if I can keep the mind I have now". There's a reason for that, the reason is you learn both tangible and intangible things as you get older. It's called experience. Even little kids hate hearing that they don't know much because they think they do, but you know they don't. That doesn't end when you're 35.

For example, can you think of someone who wouldn't want cancer to be cured? No. Average Joe Smith sees that promise and thinks, "Hell yeah, I'll vote for that person!"

Cancer doesn't affect only Americans. There are medical research teams all over the world trying to find a cure but because there are so many cancers it's not easy to find a cure for all. I hope you're right but it sounds more like CT and probably most people will see it that way too. Not something I would be promoting my campaign on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted July 8, 2019 #149 Share Posted July 8, 2019 yes there are many cancers and NONE is found cure for, so all those countries spending billions on research, for many decades, have not found a cure for even 1 type???? right, no conspiracy here, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only give my own personal opinion on the curing of cancer itself. Of course, we don't have anywhere near the problems on population control here in Australia so I cannot imagine what it would be like to have people coming into your town/city/country and getting free healthcare over your own permanent residents (from what I've ready only). That's something that is rather alien to me I'm afraid. edit: Good grief, I am such a dork, I just realised this is the same Biden that can't get his hands off females. He's like the epitomy of a dirty old man! Edited July 9, 2019 by pixiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
