Liberal men least happy

[Geosurface]

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?

lol, spot on.

You left out constantly having to apologize for your "privilege".

Them again based on threads and posts in here it's quite obvious that this is the case.

Oh goody! Another poll whose methods and results are somewhat questionable. But they fit yours and others confirmation bias so it's worth posting about.

Happiness and satisfaction with life cut across economic, gender, sexual orientation, etc. lines, not just political. Also 150 individuals is much too small of a sample size from which to draw any meaningful conclusions.

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.

I asked you to post that thread instead of talking about it. If you keep posting that 2 + 2 = 5 you will keep getting the reply that 2 + 2 = 4. Predicting that means nothing. I can predict, for example, that you will tell me I should listen to my doctor when I post. I just ask you to post where you got that notion. Don't call me a liar if you can't post the facts to support your claim.

actually not odd at all

1) they don't have to listen to your dumb ass

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

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?

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

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)

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.

It looks like you have another member of your "fan" club Moonie; Congratulations!

I think it was a hardware issue with an HP Pavilion but it was so traumatic I think I must have repressed it.

I can relate; never could get mine to recognize the expanded onboard video RAM. After that I started building my own PCs.

 

[Daverino]

Liberals Christians who see the suffering of the world and people around them and see Conservative Christians using Jesus to justify supply side economics and gun culture are unhappy.

 

[row]

Liberals Christians who see murdering the unborn as acceptable......

here, fixed that for ya davey

Or who disregard 2 Thessalonians:

Don’t you remember the rule we had when we lived with you? “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” And now we’re getting reports that a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings are taking advantage of you. This must not be tolerated. We command them to get to work immediately—no excuses, no arguments—and earn their own keep. Friends, don’t slack off in doing your duty.

I don't think I could come up with a more damning indictment of liberalism. Straight from the New Testament.

What's funny is how rarely I hear liberals on here complain, while the stream of victim hood that comes out of conservatives is unending.

Not only are you whiners but you pretend it isn't happening

As the home of individual liberty the Supreme Court of the United States would never allow murder to be legal and abortion is legal. Therefore you are lying. Abortion isn't murder. That is a fact so you are full of shit worthless opinion which the law of the land doesn't recognize even though filthy scum like you do everything they can to keep women enslaved.

That's because conservatives think money = happiness and have created a world around that.

Liberals see how fucked up you guys have made the world... It's going to take a lot of work to unfuck it to the point where we can be happy.

I'm pretty happy however, because I'm zen about it.

LOL, this is supposed to be an example of a "happy" conservative... calling someone he disagrees with handicapped and foaming at the mouth with rage. I gotta say though, one thing that does cause me happiness is watching crazy conservatives lose it with rage and insanity as their precious social conservative "ideals" are slowly destroyed by society.

A practitioner of zen is not supposed to indulge in schadenfreude, but god does it feel good sometimes

You may be right that many conservatives get their overstuffed egos from having earned money, but I think there's more to it. I have consistently recommended against free aid to the poor because what comes free doesn't build self esteem. It's the feeling of capacity, the knowledge you have the skills to survive, that I think build self confidence, the greatest treasure I think anybody can have. The fact's however are that many people can't find work because there aren't enough jobs and many folk grow up psychologically damaged to the extent they have no hope. The free enterprise system offers hope if there are jobs that the most damaged can do to get on track.

I don't know, liberals seem to be pretty obsessed with money too. Namely making sure that no one takes more than their "fair share" of it.

Seems like you are reiterating a lot of what Geosurface said:

It is very unsurprising to me that liberals are less happy. Both genders of liberals are attempting to swim up stream and live lives which are at odds with their own gender's natural tendencies, as a way of proving a point and trying to re-engineer society. Conservative men and women embrace their natural gender roles, and are consequently more at peace and happier.

You are just wrong in identifying who made the world "fucked up" and are wrong in thinking that re-engineering it is going to make most people happy(although to be fair it might make the small number of man-hating feminists happy until the whole thing comes crashing down around them)

 

[Victorian Gray]

How do you turn a man from a liberal to a conservative? You pay him 100 grand a year. Liberal men tend to be poorer and want more wealth equality/sharing. Since they aren't getting it they are unhappy.

Yeah, like Bill Gates. Damn but he must be an unhappy liberal.

 

[lotus503]

I find it interesting all of these factors in the article that determine happiness.

Being happy is simply a choice based on perspective. There are in fact people with enormous adversity and challenges in life that are just plain ol happy, because of how they choose to look at things, just as there are people with seemingly every advantage in society that are miserable.

One thing is pretty certain though P&N is full of some miserable fucks, no matter what ideology you line up with

This is a good point. Definitely think social safety nets are in need of reform, and right wing principles can be great for that. The sad part is today's breed of right wingers lack any form of common sense, desire to work with the opposition for the common good, or any out of the box thinking. Most of what I hear is hateful individualism and an entrenchment of dogmatic principles. There's no moderates anymore (this holds true of liberals as well, but is more pronounced on the right wing side)

a lemming like argument if you'd ever made one, and i'm sure there are many in your 50K + posts, but i digress, forgive me.

so having been a SCOTUS decision, you would have supported it's 1857 Dred Scott vs Sanford, which upheld the obnoxious Fugitive Slave Act?

“an inferior order and altogether unfit to associate with the white race,” taney wrote (the Supreme Court Justice). “they had no rights that the white man was bound to respect.” moreover: “the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his own benefit.”

it's heartening to see progressives such as yourself come of of the closet and admit to the thinking process which produces such dribble.... "it was stated, therefore it must be true". i could show any number of other examples of piss poor decisions by the court that by the logic of your post, you'd also support, but why pile up on such a lemming ass hapless creature as yourself?

Therefore you are lying. Abortion isn't murder. That is a fact so you are full of shit worthless opinion which the law of the land doesn't recognize even though filthy scum like you do everything they can to keep women enslaved.

sounds like someone got the progressive panties tied up in a knot here. calm down govenor.

i'm all for women's rights and being allowed to control their body. however the time to decide whether or not they want to get pregnant is before sex, not afterwards (i'm assuming you're familiar with biology, but if not, googles your friend). you see, deciding before hand affects no one but themselves', but if the decision is made after the fact (of intercourse), well now the decision that's made may not only affect the irresponsible female, but a totally innocent human being. a baby. defenseless. from scum like yourself.

an embryo in most cases, occasionally a fetus, but almost never a baby.

Yeah women's right as long as these rights are decided by "worthies" such as yourselves based on fictional books right?

Disgusting pile of social conservative trash.

It would be funny except this isn't the first time I have seen liberals on this forum refuse to discuss constitutional issues and just mindlessly repeat, "But the SCOTUS said this".

As Dred Scott has never been overturned one must logically conclude they consider the arguments with in it to be infallible.

So you are against abortion for any reason? No exception for rape? incest? genetic issues? life of the mother?
