Seems the left has it's share of people calling them crazy too. All this means is that both extremes have problems. Duh. That's not news. lol

Haha, not really the point of the first study... Mental illness and ignorance. Funny thing is the first study you cite when peer reviewed was found to be erroneous in conclusion. No so cool!

yes it was erroneous in saying that it was the right that was nuts lol. Psychologists back tracking? What? That never happens.
Oh..so the super intelligent nutjobs are preferrable? Good to know. lol I see what you did with my name there. Lol

No...the article says and I quote "A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong." the next paragraph shows the incorrect findings that liberals were more psychotice than conservatives. you read the next paragraph that they said that was the error. a bit confusing to be sure, but still shows that the liberals were the crazy ones. lol
Are you saying that there are no whack jobs in the extreme left?
I have no political preferance one way or the other but it's not hard to notice that both sides on these boards love to attack each other.
My point is that both extremists, by virtue, have mental issues. Sure there reasons for these issues differ, but they are both still bonkers.

Yeah, I just scanned the bottom, that study has nothing to do with extremism. Where are you getting that from and no not all extremists are nuts. An extreme dislike of paedophillia is not mad anymore than an extreme dislike of racists is.

This pretty much says all extremists are kind of nuts. lol regardless of what "side" you are on.

Sure, you can pick any example of anything we all agree is bad to help your case, but if you are willing to attack another group without provacation in support of your beliefs, you have got issues.

[/QUOTE] Ridiculous, some beliefs and opinions are inherently provocative in themselves like racism and paedophilia.

Yeah it reports the facts, in this case, a study undergoing peer review, but of course, most Scientists are liberal so... and why are most Scientists liberal? Because they are educated and intelligent.

Oh lordy, are you really trying to pass off a left-wing bias as somehow inherently scientific or intellectual? Remember, the intelligentsia of the early 20th century were quite partial towards communism.

Wait, they are getting Einstein and Hawking to review the paper? That's amazing, but neither one of them is or was a psychologist. Poor peer review imo. Well ones's dead so at least they won't get a rebuttal. lol

Nah. Lefties don't believe in government so they can spell it with a little g.
I don't know what gave you this idea they don't believe in it. It's not like they are ignoring the antics of a group that hates nazis but burns the flag of the country that helped defeat them, admits they are communists, gets upset when called patriots, and says they hate the constitution...all the while committing acts of violence of varying degrees.
