Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice

[Bison66]

Don't blame me, y04, hilander and OS.  I'm just the messsenger.

There's no gentle way to put it:
People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb,
according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely
to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle,
according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University
in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative
ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and
resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience....

...Polling data and social and political science research do show that prejudice is more
common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions,
Nosek told LiveScience. [7 Thoughts That Are Bad For You]

"The unique contribution here is trying to make some progress on the most challenging
aspect of this," Nosek said, referring to the new study. "It's not that a relationship like
that exists, but why it exists."

B66, thanks, that help me understand y and os. At one point, I refuse to believe anyone could be that __________, but now my eyes have been opened to the facts.

We discussed this here a while back. How we had living proof right here on this board.

PLEASE CITE THE PRECISE REFERENCE, SO THAT I CAN SEE SPECIFICALLY FOR MYSELF WHAT THE CAL BERKELY STUDY STATED.

This thread is total BS and a myth that stupid Knee-gras like you and others here that support Barry had blown up your dumb azzes to swallow.


This is more like the truth of the matter.

Well there is a conservative station here and the question of the day was--what is the smallest country in the world??


One of the caller said -- Australia--then the commentator said wrong, but I will give you a hint--"the pope lives there--the caller then responded --"What is a pope"?

Stop being a hypocrite.  You never ask that of '87 and Ken.  Look it up yourself.

No, FAN, actually y04 might be correct.
Cal Berkley may have said the opposite.  Who knows?

But I'd be more interested in what Cal Berkeley said.

Well, OS, it appears that you are saying that the research findings are BS but you
believe the opinion piece.
Not surprising because rumor has it that many conservatives are "anti" science.

However, after a closer reading of THE OPINION PIECE YOU POSTED, IT ACTUALLY SUPPORTS
THE CASE made by the research.  In truth, it does not even take a "closer reading."
It just takes reading (beyond the headline)!!!!!!!

[Twin, excuse me for this one, but it is SO earned and deserved.]

OS, YOU ARE SUCH A DUMB@SS that you didn't realize that
the SECOND D@MN SENTENCE of what you posted ACKNOWLEDGES AS ACCURATE
THE FINDINGS OF THE RESEARCH.[/size]

I won’t dispute these findings because they’re sensical
on a number of points: the detractors of conservative average IQ include a large portion
of fundamentalists.

I think beyond question this shows that you are the stupid one:  
RESEARCH FINDINGS CONFIRMED!!!

[MisterIkester]

In short, constantly posting out of your a**  + neoconservative beliefs = "I'm not so much a believer in white supremacy".

No argument from here.

[Bison66]

Ikester,

You know, I understand why OS consistently makes a fool of himself:
limited intellectual ability and even worse comprehension skills.

For example, I KNOW he had NO CLUE, what this meant:

...the detractors of conservative average IQ include a large portion
of fundamentalists.

So,......
OS, just for you, the author, WITH WHOM YOU SAID YOU AGREE, is saying that
the low IQ's of many fundamentalists DRAG DOWN THE IQ AVERAGE for Conservatives.
 THAT is EXACTLY what the research found.

IF I HAVE ANY DOUBT AS TO THE VERACITY OF A POSTER, I ASK FOR REFERENCES.   HOWEVER, YOUR NON-ANSWER IS IN ITSELF AN ANSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The last time I recall y04 trotting out that weak stuff was telling me that about
a post by Ken, in which he DID give references.

Just another deflection because either he made it up (one previous example:
he a claimed that Carter supporters told critics, America: Love it or Leave It,
but could provide not a single example) or he's too lazy to post it.


HELP:  Can anyone tell me how to avoid having the OP stretch so far off the page?
