Liberal men least happy

[noobsrevenge]

conservative women are particularly blissful

lol, yea, conservative women must be blissful about having what they can do with their bodies policied by the republicans.

.... not.

Oh wait, ignorance is bliss. Gotcha. Then yes the republicans can take pride in being blissful.

I see the brain defectives have brought their brain defects to bear on the article.

We have here an article written by a guy on a mission to promote the traditional American economic system over European capitalism. He does so first by showing that most of happiness is genetic and a huge part subject to transient events, with 12% due to other factors, one of which is personal success at work, the rewards that come with achievement, to which would be only some fraction of that 12%, and this is what he promotes as the vital ingredient that must be preserved if America is to be happy. I don't argue that conservatives self report as happier than liberal or that personal success at working is not a wonderful thing, only that we are looking at the words of a person on a mission, a crusader with a cause and one dealing with a very small percent of the various factors that create self reported happiness. What is odd about his stance is that in the Scandinavian democracies with a high degree of socialism compared to here, people self report as being happier than Americans so something seems rather off about his conclusions and beliefs regarding the data.

But what always happens in P & N is that the brain dead read a OP and then they shit out whatever it is they have imbibed as trained monkeys. Such a supposed high level of education on a technology focused site, so infested with folk who have never learned to really think. How shameful some of you real idiots are. I know, I know, you aren't stupid, just brain dead, for all intents and purposes.

I'm sure conservatives said the same thing in the 1960s when civil rights laws were passed. And in the early 1900s when women's suffrage rights were passed. And in the late 1800s when the slaves were about to be freed. And in the 1700s, when there were rumblings of revolution against the british..

Sounds to me like you are agreeing with Geosurface then:

I don't really understand what you mean by this. Liberals have pretty decisively won the political battle in America since the 1960's. They have this country by the balls. Do they have it as tightly by the balls as they do in Sweden or Britain or France? Perhaps not, but conservatives certainly don't hold sway.

Liberals have America by the balls and keep moving the country in the direction they want. So shouldn't they by happier?

Woah, I am taken aback by the eloquence and accuracy of this post.

LMAO!!!!! Thank you Moonbeam, my Psychologist friend told me exactly what your response would be on the OP.

May get the help you need one day so you too can experience some happiness in your life.

Only a conservative could be happy with America in it's current state. In other news, Jews during the 1940's less happy than Lutherans.

/thread It is a good time to be an America hating cheerleader. Conservatives have that market cornered.

HamburgerBoy, whom you just quoted, is testament to the opposite. Making comparisons to Nazi Germany. I guess you can just feel the love.

actually not odd at all

2) they don't have to put up with berrie and his buttbuddies policies

Goodness, are you claiming the title of brain defective, MISERABLE, conservative? Get a job and achieve some success. Be happy, like me.

Please tell me before hand what your psychologist friend predicts I will say. Did she say that I would agree that conservatives report being happier than liberals or that achieving as a result of work is also a good thing? Did she say that my quibble with the OP would be that the focus of Brooks would be on such a small % of the factors that are known to affect happiness as to fade into insignificance and that I would provide factual data to support that even that % has no meaningful relevance since it doesn't apply in other countries that have gone where the propagandist who wrote the article suggests should produce misery and doesn't. This is what I said, and that's exactly what she said I would say, or are you just a liar with nothing much to say? Please try to be honest and tell me the exact prediction if there really was one. It is, however, quite flattering that I should have a real psychologist studying me, me an absolute nobody. You must teach her how to PM me. I can use all the help I can get. But then, maybe she already knows everything I might say.

Which government subsidies?

don't get me wrong my friend i'm not judging your "dwelling" life style, but i'm almost curious to know what traumatic experience occurred in 1999 that compelled you to hide out in a basement and generate a decade and a half of dribble?

Which government subsidies?

i assume he's referring to the one that pays for your lithium

I think it was a hardware issue with an HP Pavilion but it was so traumatic I think I must have repressed it. It must have been many years before you were born. You know of course the level of mental sophistication it takes to have 20 posts and a join date of May 2013 and still know the content of my posting history. But never mind. I will value your opinion for what it is worth.

does this mean that we have the same level of "mental sophistication" since you amazingly seem to know "the content of my posting history" too?

She knew that you would first try to discount any states of happiness that conservatives responded to in the survey cited by the article followed by your patented conservative brain defect psychobabble. She nailed your response to a "T", therefore I fully believe she has a good feel for your condition.

I sincerely hope you eventually follow your doctors advice and do the things you need to become fully healthy.

 

[Incorruptible]

So what's your excuse then?

Angry at the truth so you resort to insults, Not surprised at all.

Your posting history would be easily gotten if I were the slightest bit interested. I already had you in the idiot poster category. But I didn't impugn you record, merely stating the idiotic nature of the single post I quoted.

Winston Churchill on health care:

The discoveries of healing science must be the inheritance of all. That is clear. Disease must be attacked, whether it occurs in the poorest or the richest man or woman simply on the ground that it is the enemy; and it must be attacked just in the same way as the fire brigade will give its full assistance to the humblest cottage as readily as to the most important mansion. Our policy is to create a national health service in order to ensure that everybody in the country, irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, shall have equal opportunities to benefit from the best and most up-to-date medical and allied services available.

Churchill endorsed a policy that was significantly to the left of the Democratic position on health care. WHAT A COMMIE.

Oh really?

“In the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one should go broke just because they get sick,” Obama told a friendly audience at the college in Largo. “In the United States, health care is not a privilege for the fortunate few, it is a right.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...1d946e-26b8-11e3-b75d-5b7f66349852_story.html

Sounds to me like Obama and Churchill have pretty much identical beliefs on health care. The only difference is that if Obama had tried to nationalize healthcare it would have basically been the end of his presidency before it began

Londo_Jowo: She knew that you would first try to discount any states of happiness that conservatives responded to in the survey cited by the article

M: Please state the exact words from my post I used to discount any states of happiness that conservatives responded to in the survey.


LJ: followed by your patented conservative brain defect psychobabble.

M: Please quote the words I used you consider to be psychobabble and any evidence you have to prove they are. We can't have you using your brain defective truthiness as evidence that something is psychobabble otherwise you will have the world standing on its head.

LJ: She nailed your response to a "T", therefore I fully believe she has a good feel for your condition.

M: Please tell me the approximate time she first read this thread and predicted what I would subsequently post. Please also inform her that I do not think you should be interpreting what her opinion of me is, assuming you don't have an imaginary friend, because I don't think your judgment is very good. You can't follow the first thing I say. I don't see why it would be any different with her. The conservative part of me already says she agrees with everything I say.

LJ: I sincerely hope you eventually follow your doctors advice and do the things you need to become fully healthy.

M: What doctor, what advise? Still pretending, I see.

...Your posting history would be easily gotten if I were the slightest bit interested...

so what i hear you saying is that you are physically capable of moving your eyes roughly 2 degrees to the left when reading someones post and making the astounding observation that you see, now get this. not only the posters screen name, but even more amazingly, when said poster joined the site, and the number of post they have submitted? man, you are one amazing motherfucker!

well, unless of course you're immobile and can do nothing more that move your wheelchair left or right. although at the level of sophistication you possess, i'd bet you developed the means to move the screen left and right so your head didn't have to move at all! this explains the government subsidies as reported earlier. do you have a keyboard? how do you type? nose hairs? that would be something! man i gain more respect for you by the, moment. well. ok. not really, but, anyway you've..

lived in a basement since 1999
paraplegic (don't forget to have someone change your depends soon)
in love with jerry brown (gov of ca, hence the screen name)
also gay (per the above)

...I already had you in the idiot poster category. ..

when and if you ever reach this enlightened category i'll make a special thread for you on it. a celebration as it were! but, beware, at this point is appears your ability is not equal to your ambition.

have i gotten off topic? sorry. i get carried away on occasion when dealing with my fellow man's disabilities.

M: What doctor, what advise? Still pretending, I see.

So your post last month was not truthful? Did you state such looking for sympathy or for me to back off calling you on your paranoid schizophrenic psychobabble?

This thread was posted for a reason and got the exact response that was expected.

...but I thought money doesn't buy happiness? Right guys? Guis? Srsly, u guize?

 

[Zaap]

Gee, you mean constantly whining about everything, pretending you're oppressed, hating everyone else because they won't bend over and give you the fruits of their time/labor/effort, having rabid envy of the successful, worship of useless politicians who endlessly promise but never deliver, etc. isn't the key to a happy, fulfilled life?

No! Really?
