Q: How Old Are You, And What Is Your Level of Education?

For example, if you are a teen, what grade are you in?

If you are an adult, did you finish high school or college? etc. Just say" over 21" and finished high school, for example.

Thanks.

Why?

Are you hoping to prove that pro-choicers have a higher education level than pro-lifers?

No, I think there are a lot of teenagers that write in this forum and I am curious how old they are. I don't think pro-lifers have any different education level than the rest of society. Do you?

way over 21, bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis on community programming for children, plus hundreds of hours of unrelated courses which delayed graduation.

Also way over 21, bachelor's degree and master's degree, plus course work for Phd., all in journalism/communications. Sometimes I feel like I have a medical degree, specializing in back pain.

I am second only to Jules in intelligence here. Of course, at my advanced age, I have forgotten most of what I have learned. Laughing Confused

I don't recall our stance on abortion being part of the question.

Now this is a terrible, horrible, and awful generalization, but I generally feel that if I am talking to someone who is prolife then their intelligence level is indeed lower than a prochoice individual. Let me define this particular kind of intelligence as interpersonal intelligence, not necessarily math smarts or artistic smarts or any of the other differentiated intelligences.

I say this because I think it takes intelligence to have empathy - that they are mutually exclusive. I believe someone who is prolife lacks this empathy...and...well, you see where I am going.

This is going to get me blasted, but I also believe those with a heavily religious belief system are also not gifted with certain forms of intelligence - inter- and intrapersonal intelligence. They are given something to believe in because either they do not believe in themselves, they do not want to question their beliefs...an easy way out because they want the thinking done for them. This all ties in with the lack of empathy/prolife viewpoint and the lack of interpersonal intelligence.

And different religions seem to invoke different responses to me as far as this is concerned. A devout Christian does not strike me as an independent thinker - more of a surface level kind of person; but a 'spiritual' person seems to have more essense to themselves; they have worked things out and they seem deeper and more settled in reality and how people feel and how people communicate and react with each other.

Yes, this is very generalized, and my humble opinion. But I do find it to be true time and time again.
