Yes, we get it you such a smart little boy because Mommy told you so. The truth of the matter most young liberals are angry, condescending little pricks such as yourself.
Again the article was fake and designed to appeal to idiots like you.
Let me help you! I'm going to write an article about how people on the internet with the username Londo_Jowo are idiots and they will believe anything they read on the internet so long as it agrees with their feelings. I will also write that any denial by people named Londo_Jowo will only illustrate their idiocy.
I will then point to said article and show you how you are an idiot because the article fits you to a T.
Now, using your logic, it would appear that you are an idiot, right?

Lol! You didn't answer the question? Why not? Do you get it now? Yes? Good, now we can move on.
I got it long ago, thank you for playing. It's too bad the person (moonbeam) it was supposed attract didn't take the bait.
I'll be waiting for your next assumption based attack.
Have they figured out why the brain is routing things to those specific brain centers, or they still have no idea? I'd think that would be important to conclusively figured out, as that sort of either makes your irrational fixation on self validation somewhat relevant, or, confirms this irrational fixation as simply what it is now, which is a forum entertainment source. We eagerly await the response... ()
As expected
Now I'm wondering if we can convince you that you responded to the wrong person or if that will be perceived as only part of our conservative brain defects.Oh I did. My first reaction was to kill myself immediately but fuck if I have a gun handy. You have no idea how painful it was to contemplate the possibility that I was anything like described. But then my conservative brain passed the hat to my right hemisphere and I said to my self, this fits no pattern I instinctively recognize and is likely a bunch of shit. And since I a I studied German, and saw the scientists name, I started to suspect something. But I'm glad for the experience and am now more fully aware of the terror you must face facing up to the fact that your brain prevents you from rational thinking. We need to find a way to feed you some liberal sense of well being, that truth is only a problem where we have too much ego.

So I guess where we are is that there are many peer reviewed papers showing a connection between physical brain differences between liberals and conservatives and characteristics associated with those parts of the brain, but none denying that connection, is that correct. My dear friend LunarRay suggested to me this morning while we were playing Diablo that I seek to get some agreement on that?
So my dear conservative friends, are you aware that a host of peer reviewed studies point to these differences, and if so how do you interpret the findings? Are conservatives more likely than liberals to deny bad news for the ego, do they focus more on the negative, are they more magnetized by fear, are they more into authority, obedience, respect for superiors etc etc etc, to list a few observations listed in the science as peer corroborated finding.
Ah, the world would be a dimmer place without you, Moonbeam.I certainly did. Thanks a lot. That's the second time in a hour or so when I contemplated suicide.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who doesn't find Moonie and LunarRay to be indistinguishable.No, not at all.
Side note. It's strange when you write about your dear friend LunarRay, because I can't help wondering if you're referring to yourself. Then I wonder if he's an imaginary friend, or an actual voice in your head, that leads me to the thought that while I think your crazy, I don't think you're schizophrenic (call it a fun kind of crazy), which leads me back to wondering if there really is a person other than you using that name here. It's like a little two second loop that runs every time one of you mentions the other.
No, not at all.

Moonster and I or really he... has a Ventrilo thing that we use to speak to each other. We play Diablo 3 and at times we are talking about you folks instead of the mobs we're trying to proceed through... So!
Why not ask him to arrange a time when we both are on and you can put this issue to sleep. I suggested this a few times now but you folks want to maintain your line of thinking.
Me thinks this vent thing should satisfy you as to me and Moonster being who we are.

It's not worth the effort, as I just said to moonie, it's of no consequence what so ever. I certainly wouldn't put any effort into proving that I'm not moonie, so I don't expect it from you. Though you do have to admit that you seem to pop up at the most opportune times.
Sorry, not interested in the experiment, and certainly not interested in writing about it. Your mind is made up, and there is zero possibility of me changing it, so it's an exorcise in futility that isn't amusing. Just not worth more than 30 seconds of my time.
Don't get so defensive about LR, it's not like anyone really cares, or that it matters at all, it's just an interesting little thought that runs around inside my head once in a while. You can be whoever you choose to be, or as many as you want to be, and I don't mind at all.
You should be interested. The link describes how conservatives more than liberals avoid any data that points out they avoid such data.
Yet here we see Greenman saying in black and white that he is not interested in the data. Perhaps you could check out the experiment and tell us what is wrong with it, unless you are also afraid of the data?You know you project that onto all the conservatives, its the stereotypical 65 year old high school educated fox new watching retiree that is skewing the statistics. There is actually a whole new generation of lower 20's conservatives who got to watch the last 8 years of Obama growing up so you'll be singing that same tune long after its not true anymore.
There aren't that many 65 year olds posting on ATOT though so you are basically ranting over and over again on this forum about a small group of people but if you look at the older conservatives who post here individually they don't even fit the stereotype that you've read 10,000 articles about.
paragraph 1 ^^^
Psychology IS a weak science and is easily abused
paragraph 2 ^^^
Using history to back up my claim. Moony totally missed my intent here. None of what I cited was actual science, but using a 'weak science' in an abusive way.
paragraph 3 ^^^
paragraph 4 ^^^
Colbert refers to it as Truthiness, and he isn't talking about Liberals.
It's not about intelligence, but rather about how people think, about how they process information through an existing system of belief.
If you have an irrational hatred of women, you'll process information much like Nehalem.
If you believe deeply & emotionally that abortion is wrong, you'll process information like Texashiker.
If you think Sarah Palin is a hot number, you'll be inclined to give her more slack than she deserves.
So forth & so on. Where it gets difficult is dealing with people who won't examine their own assumptions, because they pose false arguments based on what is erroneous belief in the first place. Your third paragraph is just that.

How so? Suppose something was being routed to those centers, for which no evidence exists, the implication I read in the research is that those are the centers that dominate showing different activity when liberals and conservatives are presented the same data, location wise in the brain. Certain kinds of identical stimulus seems to activate different parts of the brain in conservatives than liberals, with a consistency that corresponds to self identified party affiliation. Liberals seem to focus on a peaceful landscape with presented with one and another of something unpleasant, whereas the conservatives focus on the negative picture. The question I would ask is whether you believe this has been scientifically documented, whatever may be the implication. One assumption I could make is that conservatives may be better than liberals at first person shooters where target identification and acquisition is paramount in competitive games and maybe on a real battlefield too, though you probably won't find as many liberals there.
