even the left spinning mother johns people couldn't leave out these 'facts':



and



probably explains why the left is always so angry and hate filled.


Also, the word defect, does not appear in the article. so misleading title op.

My theory on conservative happiness vs. liberal unhappiness is that politics makes people unhappy. Liberals are more likely, in my opinion, to engage in politics and political debates. That sort of thing makes me cynical and unhappy, so perhaps that's it.

I posted the link. I stated my observations.

You guys are getting all crazy over this.

Boomerang even lied about one of his replies. He tried to provide "proof" about how leftist/progressives are actually alarmist, and the went back to edit his post, because he didn't even read the link he posted....

Why are you so offended by science and a conversation about science?

None of your replies provide counter proof to the points made; conservatives are sensationalist alarmists.

Instead, insults and "well, you are one actually" replies are posted.

Who's offended by science? The fact of the matter liberals show many of the same traits that conservatives do. Each has their own fears and to claim one group is more fearful than the other is pure BS.

Who's insulting people by calling them misanthropist? You don't know me yet you have the gall to claim I'm something evil.

I think you need to take a good look at yourself and what you post in this forum. It's what you post that make people discount damn near everything you post.

,... stuff,...

You should NOT be posting anything towards me. I mean, you will and you are allowed to, but, whatever you post is dismissed, since you lied. What you lied about is even noted in my OP.

You and boomerang are exactly alike.

You should be ashamed about fibbing.

Also, Londo is in on the shame boat; he wants me silenced, because he doesn't like what I am saying,.. like a usual conservative.

Damn guys - you really are showing your true colors today. It's insults, demands to be banned and NO proof countering what is being posted.

:(

So claims the person who was throwing insults around. When all else fails pull out the victim card.

You are evil - because I am challenging your thinking, with science, and you want me banned.

How conservative of you.

In regards to broad strokes,.. I was indeed right,... you are all the same; pissed off sensationalistic alarmist.

I tried to chat with some of you, like boomerang (some past convos where OK, in my opinion) and then he goes and pulls this editing shit.

What hell is wrong with you people??

I was insulted after boomerang edited his post - he blindly linked something claiming it was against liberals, and then insulted me when called out on it. Another conservative trait.

So, yes, I am the victim here. But, you are going out of your way to make it look like I'm insulting you. Again, I've got observations about the conservatives - and they are backed by science.

You disagree? Fine. But, that is not what ANY of you did.

It has been; no it's not, ban this guy, STFU, insults, etc.

Get your head together dude.

So you called me a misanthropist because you were angry with Boomerang? :confused:

Not sure if that's it, but something is not mentally right with conservatives nowadays.
I think it's more of a persistent conservative media induced mass hysteria though.
The media like Fox is tasked with keeping conservatives in a constant state of fear that someone is coming:
Iraqis are coming with yellow cake
Obama is coming for their gun
Obama is coming WITH government health care
Obama is coming FOR YOUR government health care
Immigrants are coming
etc. and so on.
But the key is to move on to the next scare before the audience has a chance to reflect on how much of BS the previous scares were, and to never let them relax.
Scared people are easier to manipulate into irrational actions.

They can't help it; they fear what they don't like and equate it to a wild predator ripping into their guts and eating them alive - meanwhile, it's nothing more than a government funded school lunch.

:eek:

Eventually, society will push them side - because there is no room for people willing to harm and humiliate their fellow man, woman and child.

Hopefully, conservative will one day really mean what it should mean. Instead of a misanthropic insane mouth frothing sensationalist that lose all control over their emotions; over someone knocking on their door.

Please, don't gun me down,.. I am only talking about science.

You live in a metropolitan area where inner city youths (the ones you ignore and allow to rot) are killing themselves daily probably less than a mile from you, but instead you're worried about some random conservative shooting you? What else are you afraid of, being stampeded by a herd of penguins?

Nope. Ignorance is bliss.

Why do so many liberals so desperately need to feel superior? That's a study that needs to be done.

It's actually the opposite. Conservatives are (in a broad sense) more engaged in politics, at least by concrete measures such as voter turnout.

I don't think the voter turn out by conservatives means their more engaged in politics but feel it's their public duty to vote as many have been taught this growing up.

What you call a "need to feel superior" is really just a need to stem the flow of misinformation.

Granted, many on the left are guilty of spinning at times as well, though to a MUCH lesser extent. We need to cut that shit out, because it just makes it that much more difficult to call out the right for their bullshit, and it isn't necessary anyway. Fighting fire with fire is extremely counter-productive, especially because the right is on a path to self-destruction without any help from us.

Well we could also look at things like Fox News ratings vs. MSNBC, CNN, etc.

Conservatives also report being more engaged with the news, etc.

It's not that we are superior, we are normal.

We admit faults.

Conservatives flat out ignore, bash, vilify and lie - because they are afraid of many many MANY things.

Got some science to prove a conservative's alarmist sensationalism? Well, you are wrong, and here is a link that "proves" liberals are fearful,... oh, wait, I didn't bother reading my link,.. so, I'll go back and edit it.

The conservatives on these forums have been exposed, fully. You are liars. You are haters. You demand the truth be silenced, because it exposes how fearful and defective you are - much like the very extremists you claim you are not apart of.

My guess would be a tiny fraction.

Tiny fraction, but vocal; like gawker.com, the Daily Show, etc.

As a liberal, I don't directly listen to any of the buffoonery "reported" by conservative media channels. I hear it from one of the above.

Liberals don't rove around sniffing out stuff to go crazy about. We have the media platforms noted (again, gawker, etc.), but personally, fuck the conservative's titty attacks. We would rather watch the John Stewarts mock and point, while we chuckle along.

It's very simple, and somewhat relevant:
- a racist conservative becomes a politician
- a racist liberal becomes a comedian

You are making a lot of assumptions. You are taking some, and assuming that everyone under that category are all the same. Do you believe there is such a thing as a moral person who is also a conservative? What do you think society should do about these conservatives?
