It's official! People with right-wing views are snivelling miserable cowards!

[Brovion]

Article in the Daily Telegraph so it must be true ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...litical-views-hard-wired-into-your-brain.html

Basically it says that new research as shown that people with right-wing views have a larger-than-average amygdalas, it's an area in the centre of the brain often associated with anxiety and emotions. They also have smaller anterior cingulates, the area at the front of the brain associated with courage and looking on the bright side of life.

Totally explains why the lefties on here are level-headed, sensible, forward-looking people and the righties tend to be angry, paranoid miserablists.

Anyway, all the best for 2011 everybody, whatever your political persuasion.

How does that work when the majority of soliders would have "right" views.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

This is a major breakthrough in scientific research. The Telegraph article reveals that the "exciting" correlation was found by scientists at University College London who scanned the brains of two members of parliament and a number of students.

Obviously the students must have all been "lefties", because the Telegraph has been reporting this to have been the case since about 1955. Discovering brain tissue in two MPs, though, is a major revelation. Well done, scientists.

And yet people wonder why a university education is so expensive.

two members! wow

I was having a bit of a chuckle at the article then came across Nimrod's rant at the botttom and realised, yes, it is all true

Whatever, righty

Stick to rebooting computers. Leave the cleaver stuff to others

Is that deliberate or a typo?

Rules you out then.

Oh dear, sloppy. Not deliberate I can assure you.

Hitler comments, yesterday someone accused you of anti-catholic and homophobic comments. You're a lovely person. I must admit, it did not need university research to establish you're a snivelling coward.

My homophobic comments ? Yes I am a relapsed Catholic and very anti Catholic and not the least bit ashamed of it. Still as they say, if you'd like to repeat your remarks to my face that could easily be arranged. No doubt you'd continue to lie anyway.

Yup, you were accused of homophobia yesterday. Or have you forgotten this as well? Anyway, calm down....you could do something you regret.

Didn't even read it but that's a joke because my comments were exactly the opposite. I take it was on the Elton John thread, if you bothered to read it in full which you clearly didn't you'll see that I was very pro same sex parentage, hardly homophobic but there again I bow down to your 'superior' education.

Also, why haven't you replied my PM ? Rather than turn anther thread into a pointless binfest use PM because I'm sure most people don't want to know what you are.

I did not notice you'd sent a PM. This site used to alert you to messages with a big red banner. Anyway, I've read it, and erm. Not sure how to reply really, I cannot work out if you're 12 years of age or a genuine psycho with anger issues?

I like the way you first say you did not read the reply, then make an incorrect assumption and use this as the basis for your case, when in fact I'm refering to something else.....trotting out your default lines about people not reading your posts and taking you out of context.

Can I ask you something? You accuse a lot of people of not reading your posts, and taking you out of context, have you ever considered it might not ALWAYS be "them" that's in the wrong?

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'm a leftie, but a complete and utter yellowbelly. I wonder what that says about my amygdala. Maybe i have a little one.

I am somebody who has been called a snivelling coward by somebody who clearly is not only a liar but a true keyboard warrior. As I keep suggesting stop messing up threads stalking me and go to PM.
