Too bad for these dipshits. At this point I could give two fucks about them. If they can't get with the program then they should just be left behind.

You [I]couldn't[/I] give a fuck, that really annoys me.
Scientific proof that Fidel Castro was absolutely right that the GOP primaries are a competition of idiocy.
Sensationalist Headlines..
Leaning to much to either side makes you stupid.
Seems obvious enough without a study.

It's not even like "all of the sudden", either, even reading it looks wrong, I don't get it.
damn liberals and fancy "facts"

Not stupid. Just misled. You could be a Stalinist and still have the smarts to get a PhD in medicine or something unrelated to politics.
How far "right" were the subjects?
Well, [B][I]NO SHIT.[/I][/B]
i'd like to thank all the posters making the same fucking joke (heh, you needed research to figure [i]that[/i] out??!) for really taking the high ground in terms of their comedy
Great job generalizing all conservatives, you twats.

Social conservatives are all morons.
It's not a generalization.

Proof:
Social conservatism is an idiotic (or morally wrong) belief.
People who believe idiotic things are themselves idiotic, otherwise they wouldn't believe it. (At least in terms of the subject matter.) (People who believe morally wrong things for morally wrong reasons are morally wrong.)
Therefore, people who believe in social conservatism are idiotic. Or bad people. Take your pick.
Except nowadays Conservatism can mean anything from One-Nation Conservatism and Toryism (which has a lot in common with modern 'liberalism') to Libertarianism.
And from the looks of the article, a psychologist found that kids with low IQ scores grow up to be prejudiced and created about thirty pounds of conjecture involving conservatism.
Basically, this article is bullshit.
Also, Many scientists believe your IQ can change over time. And, something like this would have to have some bias injected into it.

That's not a rational proof, because you're assuming socially conservative beliefs are inherently both wrong and idiotic, when in fact that's just your opinion

Provide an example when social conservative laws would be for the betterment of all people
It's wrong to hate someone for their beliefs, so we should all hate this group for their beliefs!
I really wish there was better distinction between socially conservative and all other forms of conservative
The die hard Republicans I know support legalizing gay marriage and don't really care about drugs, it's just that they don't see those as defining issues that would alter who they vote for (which is why conservative candidates pander to the religious right, who do)

In the eyes of social conservatives, their moral views take precedence over the desires of their constituents. This just isn't something you can argue about in a rational manner.

So you're admitting it's irrational? So, it's not a good thing then?
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;34421840]So you're admitting it's irrational? So, it's not a good thing then?[/QUOTE]
Yes, it's irrational. It's much like religion, that's why you can't argue about it.
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34421948]Yes, it's irrational. It's much like religion, that's why you can't argue about it.[/QUOTE]You can argue all day long. The only problem is that dedicated followers will never admit fault because of the inherent irrationality.

I don't see how this makes it a positive quality or worth just "accepting".

I never said social conservatism was a positive quality.

Irrational.
As in...
Idiotic?

Well if that's your perspective, then yes. But most humans are irrational to some extent, so it's likely hypocritical of you to say unless you are some sort of perfect bastion of rationality

Sure but I think some forms of "irrationality" are more extreme and more wrong than others.
