Leon, posting a link that says liberal scientist believe that conservatives are less intelligent is pretty silly. I know that people don't have the same presuppositions but come on.

I love my planet Vulcan. I'm proud of being a Vulcan in the universe.

Yes, but he backed it up with science. It's not me, it's science saying it.

I demand good spices.

The only thing politically correct "science" proves is a fool published it.

Conservatives will do everything they can to oppose an idea that suggests this....

That's a joke right? Scientists---especially social scientists---go data mining all the time. Heck, when I was in grad school, I knew people working as "research assistants" who would be given a conclusion by a prof and told to go find data to support it. Any ass can publish a paper (and most do.) It's childishly naive to say that something called "science" speaks univocally. I recall an article published in the National Review in the 90's "proving" that Evangelical Christians are "slightly more intelligent" than the general populace. (I took that one with a grain of salt, too.)

Java Joe is intermittently an unendurable ball of rock-ape turd, sun-baked but malodorous withal.

What I find funny is that you're very posts are proving everything the study found.

Yes, it's called "being a scientist."

Look forward to working with you.
