Interesting psychological study about (full?) Conservatives...

[CPT Tripss]

I think if we believe the "Cosmo" study the PP posted then I think liberals like the mellow, hallucinating, get you high drugs, and conservatives like the hyped up, speed sort of drugs. Of course you will change drugs from time to time, but we won't because we are intolerant to change according to the geniuses at Berkeley.

No need to smirk about "Cosmo," it's a link to Cosmos. A foreign publication covering science. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/

"COSMOS is a print magazine, an online news and features service and a weekly newsletter. All treat science as natural part of culture, covering it from many angles: art, design, travel, interviews, humour, history and opinion.

Published in Australia and with a global outlook, it was launched in 2005 and has already taken out 24 awards, including Magazine of the Year, Best Internet Site (for Cosmos Online) and twice Editor of the Year at Australia's annual Bell Awards for Publishing Excellence. It also recently won the Lord Mayor's Sustainability Award, given out by the City of Sydney."

Thank you for the correction. Either way I think the study is smirkable. However, I did read the url incorrectly. It's a relief to know that someone didn't actually post a link to a Cosmo magazine.

If you notice though, my post was all in fun. Just a way to lighten up more conservative bashing. I inclued the "drug use" of both parties in my post to make sure I didn't upset anyone.....unfortunately it looks like people want to be ticked off no matter what. Oh well, I tried.

This gets to the core - the constant "gotcha" games between the fringes. Neither of the "studies" are worth serious discussion, though they are good for a few laughs. The "our study is better than theirs" argument is inane.

OP, I am sure that this was posted in good fun (you cannot control the comments made thereafter.) However, it might be better to post something like this on the liberal thread. The true believers can get a laugh without debate - just like the cons did.

I'm pretty sure the reason it was posted as it's own thread on the Community Board, rather than on the lib thread where it belongs, is because there are certain people who take great delight in trying to prove they are superior, smarter, holier than thou, etc., and relish in trying to publicly denigrate those they don't agree with. I believe these people don't know the meaning of "good fun", because it is hard to have fun when one is filled with hate.

What??? A heterosexual marriage??? What kind of liberal are you!!



That's an interesting concept there.

Well, if it helps, my little terrorist came out of the closet last week. I'm so proud. Is his invite still on for Gay Days?

Wow! What progress you have made!! I don't know who I am prouder of...

 

[ConcKahuna]

Maybe I can get like $20 together if you can get your egghead and the egghead(s) in the OP from Berkley together in a cage match?

I'd pay to see that!

Of course!! How old is he exactly? Just need to know if I need to designate a sitter for club nights

I disagree. You are comparing two different studies from real universities published in real scientific journals to the opinion of a solo doctor who could not get his analysis or diagnosis published in a real medical journal. One can not compare the opinion of one quack doctor who is basing his opinion on his personal prejudices to the works of real scientists espicially given that such studies have been published in real professional journals

Sooo.... you're sticking to your original opinion posted years ago that conservatism is really a mental illness?

This thread is a rompin' good time! Don't take it so serious-trust me

It's kinda like when your neighbors dog leave a steaming pile on your lawn. You just get your shovel and lob it back over into their yard.

Sorry-it's the arugula talking

 

[DISUNC]

I think most conservatives put as much stock in a Berkley study as a liberal puts in a Liberty University study,

What makes me sad is the absolute gusto that those opposing political viewpoints are exhibiting as they seemingly go for each other's throats. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like a good time to me.

But the rest of ya'all can have at it .

agnes!
PS - Oh no, don't lob the dog-pile over the fence. Bag it up and leave it at their front door. *Right* on the first step...

Does anyone really believe any of that **ap of either study
It is just lunancy
I'm con and dont find libs to be mentally ill
Although I do work with a gal that is a lib. that is mental

here's the thing about studies, if I searched long enough I could find one to support any thought I might want to promote ie: fresh dog poo doesnt smell its all in your head

 

[bicker]

By the same token, there are studies that are accurate. I'm not saying either of these are, at least not as presented, but science is truth. It is only when human beings try to present something to others as truth that things can go off the rails due to deliberate or inadvertent distortion.

Who knows? His original birth certificate says "When the goats give birth and the moon is full" so we're not exactly sure. Let's just call him 21 and tell him to put on his party shoes!

Like global warming hysteria, for example.
