Are liberal children more intelligent?

[Misty]

The IQ test gives you 5 extra points for saying you're liberal and 5 extra points for saying your atheist. Lol. Ya that's how liberals measure intelligence.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

I would like to suggest an online study with inviting all posters here:

Is using crude words, vulgar profanity, personal insults and ad hominem attacks a sign of mental superiority? If it is, who are the winners: Liberals or conservatives?

Let me be the first to weigh in:

I, personally, stopped using vulgar words when (or shortly after) I passed puberty. In other words, when I grew up. By that time I had a vocabulary (and let me emphasize that English is my second language) that I did not feel it was necessary to use gutter words to express my thoughts.

I am proudly and unashamedly a CONSERVATIVE.

fuck off.

I use the words I want to use.

thinking words are "dirty" is flat our stupidity.

Your just a con acting superior while making up RULES for other to follow so you can manipulate them.


There are no fucking "dirty" words.

Get it.

I bet you dont becasue your mind is shit assed closed

First of all, Truthmatters, I made no attempt to set rules, I only asked for opinions.

Sorry if you think I picked on you, but your posts of consistently bad grammar, misspelling and copious use of words that are banned on public broadcast, left you, among your fellow foul-mouthed liberals as the best and easiest target for ridicule.

If there are no "dirty" words, according to you, then it is OK to call someone a ****, a fag, a krout, a bigot, a redneck and a ni66er?

If asking for civility makes me, in our world, "shit assed", I thank you for the compliment.

In her world, it's perfectly acceptable to use terms like that.

Case in point...

BTW the vast majority of black people would find calling a black man a watermenlon man racist.

I'm half black and I could give a damn if somebody called me a watermelon man, I like to eat watermelon from time to time during the season, so what? you don't know as much about Black people as you think.

thanks Oreo

 

[Conservative]

how many times have you followed me arround with a completely false claim of me lying.

you're not addressing what I said. I just proved you in a lie, and you're doing what you usually do... ignoring it.

thank you for proving me correct in such a short time.

did you, or did you not just say I do something 'all the time'?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

 

[Truthmatters]

So they are saying a child is liberal, and grows up to become more intelligent? Their argument is "liberalism comes before intelligence"?

Ok, fair enough!!!!

leave it to you to get the facts presented WRONG.

They check intelligence and differeing ages.

Then when the subjects are adults they ask them their affilation to the word liberal or conservative.


The finding showed a small differance in intelligence leaning towards the leiberal side.

You guys helped prove the finding correct by attacking the OP , the study and the facts founds while spewing hate and calling names.


Instead you could have made an intelligent arguement about how it is a very small differance and that IQ tests are not very good gauges of all intelligence.

Leave it to you to not be able to grasp a simple joke and sarcasm.

Fucking idiot!!! You should at least check your spelling before posting a response in a thread supposedly pointing to higher liberal intelligence.......especially when the word you spelled wrong is "LEIBERAL"!!!!

Lighten up.

And there it is.

personal insults and you dont have your spell check on.


Dudes I hate spell check.

it slows me down and fucks with the fun made up words I like to invent.

I spell for shit and am a pretty crappy typiest.

This is not a university disertation.

This is a fucking chat site.


Typos will NOT kill you.


Typos have never been an indication used in IQ measurement.


You either seek to understand your fellow American or you seek to keep them from communicating their beliefs.


Why do you WORK your asses off to try and make people fear a typo or a misspelling?


Because you are bullies who will use anything to keep people who dont agree with you quiet.


You people work to chase people from this site by intimidation through spelling nazi tactics.


FUCK spelling, fuck typos.


I want content.

Anyone out there who is timid to post for fear of these spelling nazis coming in and vulturizing your posts please just tell these assholes to FUCK OFF!


You will have a defender here who will insist that content is of far higher import than their poopy pants brains want to accept.


Be free to drop the pretense that spelling is an indication of intelligence.


They dont care about discussion and its healing power, they only care about thinning the "heard"

Haven't you noticed that truthmatters has been mentored by someone with a strong 4-letter-word vocabulary? Her schpiel is now "Everybody's bad but me, boock boock booock cluck cluck fuckity cluuck clcuk bitch."

There is a 10 point gap in the supposed intelligence of kids with 95 for cons 105 for libs.

The average IQ for a 13 year old is 115 so by my study, all the kids who took this test are morons.

Now, if we can put the pejorative aside, it's obvious that the OP is on to something. Where would the world be without liberals? We'd still see lightening but have never harnessed electricity, we'd be looking at horses and wondering what the hell are they good for; we'd be pissing in the water upstream, and drinking the waster downstream, Get it?

Yea, I get it... you're a prat.

It's too damn funny. Wry comes into every one of my threads and calls me an attention troll then posts that in this thread? Too fucking funny.

Sad but true. Reading your threads is much like driving by a bloody accident on a highway, one doesn't want to look but is compelled.

Truthmatters, chill on your profanity. The more profanity you spew, the more you display your pathetic immaturity.

The people who hate spell-check are the ones who are deluded enough to think they don`t need it.

Most of us on this forum are lousy spellers. We all make typos and innocent mistakes. But most of us are smart and respectful enough to our fellow posters to at least read what we had posted before punching the SEND or ENTER key.

And even if that failed, we are smart enough to use the EDIT key and correct everything we have not already corrected. In other words, this may be a forum where you can say just about anything you want, there are two ways to say it: Your way or the civilized way.

You are displaying your ignorance of history when you are making the attempt to make your fellow posters REALLY REALLY bad by comparing them to Nazis. If you had any knowledge of history, you would know that the most evil regime that killed 20 times more people than the Nazis, were the Communists, who, in various places in the world. And, of course, then you would know that President Obama is an enthusiastic follower of Karl Marx.

If you want to REALLY insult somebody, if you want the world to know how low and despicable and awful they are, call them not Nazis, but COMMUNISTS.

If you are not a liberal, don't say anything in class....you can't get a word in edgewise and it often affects your grade (openly stated by more than one prof or TA).

What school? My daughter has had a very different experience. Her liberal views have repeatedly come under attack during class times.

Of course she, being the smart liberal she is, has no problems with putting the rethugs in their place.

Proof that liberals are smarter than rethugs. I mean, when you tell your kid the gospel says the world is only 6 thousand years old (or what ever) how fuking smart is that? And then believe it. Good God.

And that life begins when you think about having sex. How smart is that?

Or that Ronnie Raygun was a "great" President. Now that is just plain stupid.

Ya, rethugs are real smart. That's why they have Mittens. To keep from scratching their heads, wondering what went wrong.

In my wife's case it was High Point University, and that liberal bias was in classes such as English, Sociology, Chemistry, History, economics.. etc. Those are her words.

In my case I experienced this at The University of Chapel Hill Greensboro, and before that at UNC-Charlotte.

I'm not religious and I have never told my child anything about when the world began, that is up to him to decide if he wants to follow a religion. I don't assume I understand anything of the creation of our universe, and for liberals to think they've figured out every aspect is a very arrogant notion. Lots of theories, and they could be right. But assuming they are correct and then berating any other opinion, and at the same time looking down your nose on organized religion is just being an ass. I know those circle jerks you attend with Bill Maher are fun and all that but.......

I've never stated I supported Ronald Reagan. That is another of your assumptions.

Mittens is definitely not my ideal candidate. Not that it's very often an ideal candidate that shares your every opinion comes along. I am once again forced to vote between two piles of shit, Mittens doesn't smell as bad and hopefully wont damage my nostrils the way President Obama has the last few years. I think his policies, his ideals, and his actions are devestating to our way of life. I disagree with both major parties, but I disagree with democrats vehememtly.

 

[LeftofLeft]

LONDON, March 2 (UPI) -- More intelligent children may be more likely to grow up to be liberals, a researcher at the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests.

Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist, says "evolutionarily novel" preferences and values are those that humans are not biologically designed to have and our ancestors probably did not possess. In contrast, those that our ancestors had for millions of years are "evolutionarily familiar."

Kanazawa argues that humans are evolutionarily designed to be conservative, caring mostly about their family and friends, and being liberal -- caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated strangers one has never meet or interacted with -- is evolutionarily novel.

Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health support Kanazawa's hypothesis. Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence, Kanazawa says.

Young adults who identify themselves as "not at all religious" have an average IQ of 103 during adolescence, while those who identify themselves as "very religious" have an average IQ of 97 during adolescence, Kanazawa says.

Does anyone notice in this diatribe that no where is the term "common sense" to be found? Common sense would question: If liberals "cared" about so many others, why, then, would an elite still exist where a class of "haves" and "have nots" exist in liberalism?

You had all fucking day to come up with an insult and that's it?

Yep, you're a liberal.

 

[Peach]

The majority of Barack Obama's most loyal demographic does not even graduate from High School.

Fail.

Actually, the REALITY is that Obama got the votes of well educated Americans, AND the poor. This study, along with numerous other "studies" cited here, proves NOTHING. Unless the children tested are followed for the next 30-50 YEARS, nothing can be drawn about future political beliefs.

You mean like that study that followed children for decades and found that whiney children grew up to be republicans?

You know children that DON'T whine? C'mon, it is the pleasure of youth.

Wry catcher you're overdue to go show what a loser stalker you are in my public messages. Get to it boy.

 

[jillian]

I guess you better define liberal. Socialism, which has failed so many times in the past, doesn't work and any intelligent person knows that eventually you run out of other peoples' money.

^^^^^^

thank you for proving the o/p's point.

there are many smart conservatives... i doubt anyone would say that antonin scalia or william f buckley is stupid.

there are many smart liberals... i doubt anyone would say that bill clinton or elizabeth warren is stupid.

and saying this president is stupid would be total hackery but that's a different subject.

however, if children are being taught we're socialist, or that there's no such thing as evolution or that the world is 6000 years old or that the president is "destroying the country", then they're uneducated and ignorant like the people teaching them, not necessarily stupid.

You can do a lot better than Elizabeth Warren for smart liberals.

she is one of many. your disagreements with people don't make them stupid.

Its the Carl Rove in you.

You guys look at cold hard evidence and then say it means nothing

The 'scientist' in question had other 'cold hard evidence' that you might interest you:

Satoshi Kanazawa, the psychologist who caused a great deal of controversy with his article on why African American women are unattractive has been fired from Psychology Today, where the article first surfaced. Huliq reports:
And now Satoshi Kanazawa’s lost his blog and his profile page has been deleted from Psychology Today’s website. His article and unqualified research on unattractive black women sent off a fury of protests online. 75,000 people blew up Psychology Today via email, Twitter and Facebook. Some even rang Psychology Today’s telephones off the hook.
