Intelligence Study Links Low I.Q. To Prejudice, Racism, Conservatism Joel - 03/02/2012 08:58:00 PM 1818 Views
I think ... Nate - 03/02/2012 09:28:02 PM 1247 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1995 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 2186 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 2206 Views
Pretty sure hes saying liberals are pedophiles and I for one am not at all suprised! *NM* Urza - 04/02/2012 09:23:58 PM 1506 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1969 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 2001 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 2010 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 2027 Views
It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM 1987 Views
Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1938 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1959 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 2021 Views
Actually, I could be an enthusiastic Democrat on principle, if any elected Dems would join me. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:49:48 AM 2155 Views

Primary voting age is pretty high for both parties compared to general election, GOP a bit higher Isaac - 04/02/2012 12:22:44 PM 2011 Views
The two tend to go together, though it is far from a hard and fast rule. Joel - 04/02/2012 11:50:03 PM 2069 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1880 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1956 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1362 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 1061 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 608 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 1106 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 1225 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 1247 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1338 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1367 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 1068 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1357 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 1060 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 1173 Views
Yes. It is not very likely, though, since no measurement we have done so far indicates that it is so jh - 05/02/2012 02:28:18 PM 1023 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 1245 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 1129 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 971 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1326 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 562 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 1163 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 1201 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 1115 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 1218 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 1122 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1409 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 1255 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 1246 Views
this sort of "science" is so easily and often slanted it doesn't really merit arguement Ray - 04/02/2012 04:23:14 AM 1188 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 1158 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 1011 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 1049 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1274 Views
