Do Our Genes Determine Our Political Leanings?

[Truthmatters]

They are science you fool

 

[Truthmatters]

Our genes may determine how we react to certain things, but they can not determine what we experience.

Maybe you dont understand what this science is saying.

Predisposition to a trait that IS influenced by experience.


The insecure child sees the world as a threat.

The conservatives see the world as a threat.

The outgoing child has MORE diverse experiences with more people.

They see the other guys point of view as a non threat.

Interesting hypothesis.

What of the Liberal who feels threatened by the Tea Partier?

A figment of your imagination.

Are conservatives fearing the world a figment of yours?

If our genes determine everything, then we determine nothing.

Our genes do not determine everything. Just a lot of what and who we are.

Without Rand Paul's genetics would he be running for political office?
Or would people be wanting to vote for him?

Because they are scientists, we should embrace what they say without question? That is the retort you just submitted to me, while calling me a fool. The irony is ugly.

Makes sense to me.

Please understand what this science is correlating.

Its not saying things are black and white ( yet another conservative trait)

It sure does.

I cant imagine why the cons here would claim they do not see the world as a threatening place.

Do you make it a habit to be self-contradictory?

An example of the right seeing the world as a fearfull place.

In one breathe you condemn black & white logic, yet you paint conservatives with a single, broad brush-stroke.

The part where you are typing, even though you clearly have no active brainwave.

Here let me explain it too you.

Stating the study does not claim a black and white means they are not claiming the trait is universally observed.

That statement NO WHERE condems black and white thinking.

You see you viewed what I was saying in black and white terms.

You failed to read correctly what was actually said and saw it only as a means to find a way to attack me personally.

I never attack anyone personally, I only question their logic.

 

[Truthmatters]

Then why did you piull so many things right out of your ass about what I actually said?

 

[MikeK]

Interesting hypothesis.

Threatened in what way?

Let's not go down this road. I apologize if I offended you, I only wanted to discuss the topic at hand.
