Do conservatives generally avoid facebook and other social networking sites?

Similar questions: conservatives generally avoid facebook social networking sites.

I doubt they're avoiding it I hate to make generalizations, but conservatives tend to be a little older and so they're less likely to be involved with some of these things which tend to attract younger people, especially teens. And teens just don't have the life experience to really know if they're conservative or liberal, but it's not en vogue at the moment to be a conservative, so more of them are likely to want to present themselves as liberals right now. What I find interesting is this:According to the NetRatings poll, 36.6 percent of U.S. adults online are Republicans, followed by 30.8 percent Democrats and 17.3 percent registered as Independents.So if that's true, you'd still expect conservatives to have a significant presence in social-networking sites despite the age thing.

Perhaps they do and they're just more subdued about it considering the current mood of the country. So to answer your question, no, I don't think they avoid them. Some are there and just don't want to draw attention to themselves and some others are there and don't even realize it yet.

I don't see why we would... Facebook, LiveJournal, MySpace, Blogger, etc. Are not inherently liberal or conservative, so there's no reason that people with a conservative political outlook would be less likely to use these sites on general principle than people with a liberal political outlook. I consider myself to be conservative, and I have many friends (most of them real-life friends) of conservative, liberal, and even libertarian outlooks on each of these sites. The only real bias I could see having an impact is that sites like these tend to be more appealing to college students and people of that age range than to, say, the grandparents of college students.

It has been said (and it seems to match up with my own observations) that older people, on average, tend to be more conservative than younger people. So with this in mind, a bias toward a younger demographic than the national average could appear to be a bias toward a more liberal outlook than the national average, even though that is coincidental.

Netiquette Question: I use a couple of social networking sites to keep in touch with friends from around the country.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
