Default Liberals more intelligent than Conservatives

Quote:
Kanazawa's paper shows that more-intelligent people are more likely to say they are liberal. They are also less likely to say they go to religious services. These aren't entirely new findings; last year, for example, a British team found that kids with higher intelligence scores were more likely to grow into adults who vote for Liberal Democrats
I have to say, this is obvious, but it feels nice having a study validate the assumptions of the liberals! Hehehehe, this study tickled me. Suck it.

Intelligence won't help you bloody any after life if you're wrong about God. Just saying.

Little white flowers will never awaken you, not when the cold depths have all but overtaken you.

Dearest, The days are all so long,
and in the shadows I spend them all.
My heart and I long for slumber.
Slumber I'm caressing you, I bless your touch, I lust for you.
Slumber you are not a dream, Not as much as you seem.

Well... It's not a stereotype; psychological studies work on population validity to increase how generalisable the results are. Since this particular study is quite in depth and has previous studies to back it up, it is valid and generalisable.

Do not criticise the methodology unless you have any clue on psychology please.

I agree that extremist conservatives tend to be stupider. I mean, look at the US- Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, etc. However, it does not mean I'm stupid because I tend to lean to the right a bit more.

Believing everything you read wont help you indeed . Find your Personal Opinion on things and screw the others , Simply everyone can be intelligent .... it doesnt matter if they are Liberals , because some of them are , doesnt mean everyone else are aswell , generalizations are mean.
