Fasinating study fo the differance between the brains of republicans and Democrats.

Man it explains alot.

Does it give an explanation as to why some brains make it so difficult for some to spell properly?

The study, conducted at New York University, suggested that while conservatives are known to be more structured and persistent when making decisions, liberals are more open to new experiences. Researchers have traced these stereotypes to differences in brain activity.

So, one party can make up their mind, and stick to something, and the other is wishy-washy?

You're RIGHT, TDM, it DOES explain a lot. :clap:

Lends to the quip: "Liberalism is a mental disorder". :)

Conservative: Do it this way. This way works.
Liberal: In the interest of doing something different, I'm going to do it a DIFFERENT way. I know, I know it works your way, but I like the esteem-boost I get from calling myself 'progressive'. Seriously! I have a LOT to prove! My parents didn't instill me with self-confidence or common sense, so I'm going to do it a way that fails, ONLY because I MUST...BE...DIFFERENT.

What researchers found was that liberals were better at processing this conflicting information. The liberals were about 10 percent more likely to hold back from an incorrect response than their conservative counterparts.

Conservatives, on the other hand, were more likely to stay the course. They kept pressing the button even when the letter W flashed on the screen.


maybe you people need to realise staying the course is not inherently the right choice.

Is that like repeatedly making the same claims? Or chanting?

First off, I've known most of these people for a few years.. a couple of them longer than these boards have been around. What business is it of yours if I tell them they're right, when they're right?

Second, I make the avatars I display.. So, again, what's your point, and what business is it if yours what I choose to display?

Because you have an agenda and expect 1000 times more out of me than anyone else on this board because you dont like my point of view.

If you go back and read this thread from the begining look at my comments on this study you will actually find them very mild.

Then if you look at the hostility they were met with by the other side you will see they acttually back the studies findings. Much ado about nothing but a couple of words which requested the conservatives on here to take another look at the reasons for war.

Then you all went cablooooey!

I can take the insults, I can take the inability to accept new facts , I can take the pretending I didnt answer , I can take the attacks on my family, I can take the attacks on my intellect ,I can take it all.

Not true, but the reality of the matter is that you DON'T provide proof of your statements. You THINK you do, but you've been proven wrong countless times. I've conceded MANY points on this very board when evidence has been reported disproving me. Just the other day I conceded to MFM that the "majority of democrats did not in fact vote to authorize the war". I can admit when I'm wrong, unlike you.


Why dont you ask shattered why she doesnt prove my family wants nothign to do with me?

It's a statement of opinion and can't be entered as fact here on the board.


Because you have an agenda and expect 1000 times more out of me than anyone else on this board because you dont like my point of view.

I have no agenda. I am an equal opportunity asshole! I am equally arrogant towards those who make statements and refuse to back them up.


If you go back and read this thread from the begining look at my comments on this study you will actually find them very mild.

Mild, yes. Nonetheless you were asked to provide FACTS from the article by one person, and failed to address that. Now you were asked by another to provide proof of things you claim existed on these boards, and have again failed to do so.


Then if you look at the hostility they were met with by the other side you will see they acttually back the studies findings. Much ado about nothing but a couple of words which requested the conservatives on here to take another look at the reasons for war.

You've likely never actually see me go "cablooooey". Trust me, you'd know if I did! I'm also being very mild! LOL


Im can take the insults, I can take the inability to accept new facts , I can take the pretending I didnt answer , I can take the attacks on my family, I can take the attacks on my intellect ,I can take it all.

You just can't take being questioned and asked to provide actual real time facts to backup some of your statements. When this occurs, you argue and offer endless opinion, but never provide the facts/data/proof asked of you.


The truth getting out is worth all of it and more.

Agreed, now if you could only lead by example and actually provide it, instead of spouting rhetoric and misstatements.

Stupid question. Of course I don't feel "warm and fuzzy" about Bin Laden. I still think Bin Laden should be hunted down. However, new information has come to light on other subjects: the Iraq War for instance. We went into Iraq thinking we were saving the world and ourselves from an imminent attack from Saddam's vast wmd stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Now we know for sure that those never existed. And people like me take that new information into account and revise our thinking on the subject, like "hmm, maybe going into Iraq was a bad idea." Others who will remain un-named, ignore new information like this and in effect "stay the course" regardless of how wrong they are. When Galileo discovered Heliocentricity, there were those who accepted this new information and those who refused to take it into account who tried to "conserve" the status quo.

I definately see the point of this study and I do think there's something to it. It doesn't necessarily insult either side to admit there may be something to it. It's obvious to me that there are two types of thinkers: those who base their decisions on what they see as black and white ideology that is written in stone AND those who make decisions based on what they see as the best current information who keep in mind that the information may change, which will necessitate a change in their actions.

There's nothing wrong with changing your mind about something every now and then. It proves that you actually think about things as opposed to just being obusely obstinate.

You assume that new information REQUIRES a change of action and if no new action is taken that the new information was ignored.
It's just as plausible that the information was heard and analyzed yet it was decided that the same OVER ALL decisions were still sound.

And now research has proved it.


Exploring the neurobiology of politics, scientists have found that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.

In a simple experiment reported today in the journal Nature Neuroscience, scientists at New York University and UCLA show that political orientation is related to differences in how the brain processes information.
...
[L]iberals were 4.9 times as likely as conservatives to show activity in the brain circuits that deal with conflicts, and 2.2 times as likely to score in the top half of the distribution for accuracy [in a speed-based letter recognition test].

Perhaps it is just your inability to accept new information because it challenges your exsisting beliefs?

I think it's more my ability to exercise my BullshitFilter™. I am in the business of strategy and forward and progressive thinking. It's how I earn my $10/hr. When people like, oh...say....YOU approach me with a new idea, I use my God-Given BullshitFilter™ to measure what you're saying. If it's a new idea that WORKS, I'm all for it. What's ironic is, MOST liberals have no 'new' ideas - they have ideas which have been tried and tested and found to be 'bad'. The difference isn't in accepting the 'idea' - the difference is Conservatives have a GOOD memory. And the "new" ideas Liberals tend to spout remind us of somebody trying it years ago, and failing (see "Communism" for instance).

I believe what I believe because MY beliefs are 100% Right in my view. I actively apply criteria to what I believe to make sure I'm not believing a lie. You seem to believe ANYTHING which is different - said another way, it seems to me you buy into ANYTHING which is not the current way of doing something - you love it simply for it's uniqueness.


I know many people who are conservatives who now have changed their minds about Bush and the war which to me shows that not all conservatives have this problem but the study showed that also.

It could very well be they formed their opinions from the wrong pool of information. ;)

First off, I've known most of these people for a few years.. a couple of them longer than these boards have been around. What business is it of yours if I tell them they're right, when they're right?

Second, I make the avatars I display.. So, again, what's your point, and what business is it if yours what I choose to display?

How's that flirting, again, exactly? Sees to me you're jealous because you don't have friends; just a bunch of people telling you what an idiot you are.

Stupid question. Of course I don't feel "warm and fuzzy" about Bin Laden. I still think Bin Laden should be hunted down. However, new information has come to light on other subjects: the Iraq War for instance. We went into Iraq thinking we were saving the world and ourselves from an imminent attack from Saddam's vast wmd stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Now we know for sure that those never existed. And people like me take that new information into account and revise our thinking on the subject, like "hmm, maybe going into Iraq was a bad idea." Others who will remain un-named, ignore new information like this and in effect "stay the course" regardless of how wrong they are. When Galileo discovered Heliocentricity, there were those who accepted this new information and those who refused to take it into account who tried to "conserve" the status quo.

I definately see the point of this study and I do think there's something to it. It doesn't necessarily insult either side to admit there may be something to it. It's obvious to me that there are two types of thinkers: those who base their decisions on what they see as black and white ideology that is written in stone AND those who make decisions based on what they see as the best current information who keep in mind that the information may change, which will necessitate a change in their actions.

There's nothing wrong with changing your mind about something every now and then. It proves that you actually think about things as opposed to just being obusely obstinate.

The strawman you guys keep setting up is ridiculous.

No one (other than Democrats) stated that Saddam was an immediate threat. If he was, then the war wouldnt have been preemption. The whole point of preemption was to eliminate Saddam before he was an imminent threat. If we wait till an enemy is an imminent threat, then we've waited to long and people are going to die.

Taking Saddam out was a good idea. It was the right idea. There hasnt been any information thats been revealed to change that. Not only have we made it sure Iraq wont be giving Weapons of Mass destruction to terrorists, we have ensured that Libya wont either. We have exposed Iran as the threat they are. We have brought freedom to another group of people.

Im not confused at all. I think you may be though. I mean there are only two threads on the matter and it wouldnt be hard to find the quote. But you cant seem to.

Nevermind the fact that the entire thread was about upholding the law. Something you completely contradicted with your statement.

BTW i think this study is clearly false. Ive never seen a liberal adjust their thinking when "conflicting" information is presented. just pick about any thread and you will see liberals who will conclude that Bush is evil and any amount of evidence to the contrary is completely ignored.

Where is the link to the actual study? Where is the DEFINITIVE proof I asked YOU for many, many posts back.

You do know that this would solidify your position wherein you claim this study to be factual. That is, the proof you post, supporting your position, would show more than statistical correlations, quoted in the original article (op-ed) ABOUT the study. And by the way, statistical correlations are not considered proof in the real scientific community. Just bear that in mind while you are copying and pasting from the actual study done by psychologist, David Amodio and associates.

Ok. I'll go slow. Again. I asked you to first quote definitive proof substantiating YOUR claims, from the article. That means, I want you to find something in the article showing that those who did the study stand firmly behind their findings - showing what is, not what might be. Easy.

Then, a few posts up, I asked where the link to the actual study was - or, can be found? In other words, an op-ed piece barely supporting one political view point is not good enough for me. I want to see the math and everything else. I also (in the same above post) explained that although statistical correlations may seem like proof of a hypothesis, they are not - hence my request for a quote where someone (not people who are not involved in the study make comments) takes a firm position, on the experiments findings, which supports their hypothesis - not "maybes' or "might bes". I want to see "IS". Not hard.

Publishing his findings in the Journal of Research into Personality (a must read, I’m sure), the UC Berkeley professor claims to have found a correlation between being a “whiny,” insecure child in nursery school and an embrace of conservatism in later life. Describing the research in the Toronto Star, science writer Kurt Kleiner says,

Again, it's another correlation. A correlation does NOT imply causation in any way, shape or form. Simply put, two events that are correlated do not automatically result in one causing the other, nor does it have any direct relation to the other. Correlations deal only with observed occurances of events. Conclusions that usually support a hypothesis can't be taken from a correlation alone.

As I have already explained more than once (and please commit this to memory this time) .....now say it with me..."a study finding correlations alone, does not prove of a hypothesis". Make it your mantra. \

What it does, is possibly show those conducting the study that they might be on the right track leading to further testing and investigations, further proving their hypothesis.

from the article you posted:

I realized many moons ago that the social sciences today mainly serve to provide a specious scientific basis for liberalism. Do you want to give criminals a slap on the wrist and substitute rehabilitation for punishment or legislate against spanking? Simply point to studies that “show” that positive reinforcement is more effective than negative reinforcement. Would you like to eliminate personal responsibility and cast everyone as a victim? Just highlight research that “proves” that being a lush or a homosexual is caused by genes and childhood bad behavior by ADD. Yes, psychology has long been attacking tenets of conservatism, as it veils its agenda with a facade of science. And given this antipathy for the ideology, it’s little wonder that psycho-babblers’ zeal would eventually compel them to tip their hand and label conservatism itself as just another symptom of psychological inadequacy. Maybe we should rename introductory psychology “How to Prove Liberalism Correct 101.”

The studies are mentioned and exsist by this guys own admission.

I was asked to provide proof other similar studies exsisted and I did so.

I noted that I dont find any of these studies conclusive and posted the first one in an attempt some people would also find them inconclusive and think about how this type of mind set is something they do not want to aspire to and let new information in.

The negative response and immediate assumtions made by some of my friends on the right show I may have been being a pollyanna.

I will continue to take the slings and arrows and keep my hope because I do believe they can still see the light of truth yet.

I have seen it happen before.

The problem is that your "studies" are laughable and have no basis in fact. Most of us here prefer to deal in reality and facts. I could post a study at this very moment of you, claim it was an in depth analysis, and it would be worth as much as the crap you have posted.

placing a wreath .... gets the president on tv and shows he supports the military.....looks like personal gain to me....
Now you're being purposely silly (and you don't do it all that well). Every president is expected to place a wreath on Veterans' Day: it's a duty equivalent to shaking hands of people in a reception line. They gain nothing from doing it.


could it be that you hate the current president so much that you project exploitation onto the president and thus confuse honoring the dead with exploiting the dead ....

no....i would imagine not....the left being so open to new information and accepting and tollerant of others...For the record, GW has a long career of exploitation, so I have plenty of better reasons to conclude that he's trash.

You can't possibly be serious about the above, if in fact you spent more than a semester in law school. The study has nothing to do with the response to the Petraeus report or vice versa.

The liberal reaction to the Petraeus report has everything to do with refuting the study. Confronted with new information that contradicts their view point and they cant deal with it.

You need a study to detail your reaction?

The reaction of you and your fellow liberals is pretty damn clear. You are unable to handle the new and conflicting information presented by the Petreous report. Rather you just ignore it and have to call anyone who presents differing information a liar.

This isnt brain surgery. The Petreous report has given us new information concerning how the surge is going. You liberals cant handle it. Your very reactions to it disproves the assertions in this study because when faced with conflicting information, you not only are not open to it, you have to resort to calling the man a liar because its contrary to your world view that everything in Iraq is bad.

I have no doubt that when Iraq is peaceful and strong, you are still going to be complaining about how we failed in Iraq.

Does it give an explanation as to why some brains make it so difficult for some to spell properly?


laffs...

certainly there is no one here who can claim to be perfect when it comes to spelling... even those that use spell check... they're going to take their dog over there and let it take a crap.

to the topic... Tony Snow said yesterday that only a crazy person continues to use the same strategy over and over and over thinking it will come out differently... I LOL'ed when I heard him say that because hasn't bush, with his stay the courseness, done just that?

I agree with you, I really do. But you have to take a few moments to read her posts. EVERY SINGLE ONE is absolutely littered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Then each "paragraph" she writes is one sentence long and she starts another. It is LITERALLY very hard to read. If it were just occasionally I wouldn't bother pointing it out.
