I would like to see a study correlating creativity with political affiliation.



How would you quantify creativity?


Does this get classified as creative in your mind?

So, what you're saying is that it's NOT a "superior mindset" to claim the "other side" has a low I.Q., is prejudiced and racist?

That IS the claim here...."Conservatism" = dumb, racist and prejudice.

I'm not sure...I think that this thread title is somewhat "prejudiced" in it's blanket statement.

Tell me, if someone has negative qualities, are they "inferior" to someone with BETTER qualities? What if it was a product? Would you say that a burger made from rotten meat was JUST as good as a burger made with fresh meat?

I think you fail to see the folly of this "enlightened" position. This claiming to be better than someone else (which is what this is doing) seems a bit...familiar. And here I thought the liberals painted themselves as "more fair" and "compassionate" than the "evil conservatives".

lol



Must suck being wrong so much..





I guess that the reason "insecure" wasn't cited was because you already had that one?

Cori thinks he's being creative and edgy. His thread on sungods was much better.

Yes, liberals who "know better" than everyone else...

"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
- Margaret Sanger, April 1933 Birth Control Review.

"Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems."
- Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda." Birth Control Review, October 1921, page 5.

Where does "enlightened" thinking lead?

"The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind."
- Margaret Sanger, quoted in Charles Valenza. "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.

More "enlightened, intelligent" thinking:

"Problem-makers reproduce in greater percentage than problem-solvers, and in so doing cause the decline of civilization… In short, if capable, intelligent people had most babies, society would see its problems and solve them."
- Elmer Pendell, from Sex Versus Civilization, 1967

I'm pretty sure that Hitler would have agreed with the sentiment that I.Q. is an indicator of party affiliation.



Hitler died in the 1940's so the modern Nazi isn't that bad! These views were common place back then regardless of affiliation.
