Most studies of minority stress are correlational.[3] While these studies have the advantage of using large, national datasets to establish links between minority status, stressors, and health, they cannot demonstrate causality. That is, most of the existing research cannot prove that prejudice causes stress, which causes poor health outcomes among minority individuals, because correlation does not imply causation. One way to remedy this limitation is to employ experimental and longitudinal research designs to test the impact of social stressors on health. Indeed, several recent studies have begun to use these more stringent tests of minority stress.[78][79] Additional studies are needed to confidently state that prejudice causes poor health for minority individuals.

Originally posted by seer View PostIt is simple, your mindset, and the mindset of the left, have all the hallmarks of totalitarianism. First, destroy the family, empower every kind of deviant behavior, destroy gender distinctions and gender roles. Make people more and more dependent on a central, controlling government. Create a hirearcy of grievance groups (intersectionality). Most of all undermine religion, so the collective can assume the role of God. At present we are in early days, but this cultural revolution will end in carnage.
And your predictions of doom and gloom are not shared. Indeed, I am far more concerned about the tendency to authoritarian regimes from the right than I am from the left. After all, a belief system that honors and pledge allegiance to a "supreme being" is about as authoritarian driven as you can get - wouldn't you say?
I tend to "each thing in it's place. In the world of economics, some problems are best solved by capitalism and some by a socialistic approach. In the world of politics, I actually like the form of representative government we enjoy. I think it could use a few tweaks, and it is messy as all heck. But it tends to be better than the alternatives.Last edited by carpedm9587; 02-21-2019, 07:44 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostWhen you so blatantly misrepresent what I've said, there's little point in engaging what you've said about others.
Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostI don't trust you not to cherry-pick whatever stats most help your case, and present them as broadly normative. Wonder no more.
Indeed, OBP, your posts seems regularly filled with more observations about my person than they are with actual points about the arguments being made. I have taken to cutting out personal attacks and not bothering to respond to them. I do more of that with your posts than almost anyone else. If conversing with me is so onerous, perhaps you should consider not doing it? Why would anyone continue to do something they find unpleasant?The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Well, there's an accusation I cannot respond to. If I'm not brainwashed, I'll deny I'm brainwashed. If I am brainwashed, I'll deny I'm brainwashed. I guess your saying so makes it a reality.

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostIn general, most of us don't. But I cannot pretend that if 20-80% of the population of the country thought I was a degenerate scum that it wouldn't affect me. And when you are dealing with young people who have not yet reached adult maturity - the expectation that they can shrug off such widespread hatred is unreasonable. It is essentially why rates of suicide among gay and trans teens in unaccepting/hostile homes is one of the highest suicide rates of any group. It's sad that so many are so badly abused.
