    Exactly.

    I used to work for a man whose son had a Ph D, yet it was common knowledge he didn't have the sense to come in out of the rain. Education, especially these days, does not equate in any way shape form or fashion to intelligence.

  2. I still chuckle about that comment by someone on this board who posited that if Einstein were a conservative, idiots like Futurecurrents and Free Thinker would call him an "inbred moron" as well.

    There is no doubt that about 90% of all educators are leftist, I witnessed it firsthand...OTOH, the notion that every business leader who leans right is an "uneducated, inbred, moron, dipshit" is laughable.

    Let's face it, most people "outgrow" the stupidity of liberalism; the truly indoctrinated fools defend it to their dying day.

  4. Einstein was too smart to be a conservative





    Albert Einstein's political view was in favor of socialism;[110][111] his political views emerged publicly in the middle of the 20th century due to his fame and reputation for genius. Einstein offered to and was called on to give judgments and opinions on matters often unrelated to theoretical physics or mathematics.


    Throughout the November Revolution in Germany Einstein signed an appeal for the foundation of a nationwide liberal and democratic party,[9][10] which was published in the Berliner Tageblatt on 16 November 1918, and became a member of the German Democratic Party


    Einstein was a member of several civil rights groups, including the Princeton chapter of the NAACP. When the aged W. E. B. Du Bois was accused of being a Communist spy, Einstein volunteered as a character witness, and the case was dismissed shortly afterward. Einstein's friendship with activist Paul Robeson, with whom he served as co-chair of the American Crusade to End Lynching, lasted twenty years.[18]

  5. Figuratively...as in someone of Einstein's IQ.

    but thanks for the prompt cut and paste.

  6. Which is a huge and glaring logical mistake of "appeal to authority".

    Of course no amount of education could help you realize this because you are a fvcking moron.

    Intelligence Study Links Low I.Q. To Prejudice, Racism, Conservatism



    Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.

    The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

    I.Q., or intelligence quotient, is a score determined by standardized tests, but whether the tests truly reveal intelligence remains a topic of hot debate among psychologists.

    Dr. Gordon Hodson, a professor of psychology at the university and the study's lead author, said the finding represented evidence of a vicious cycle: People of low intelligence gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, which stress resistance to change and, in turn, prejudice, he told LiveScience.

    Why might less intelligent people be drawn to conservative ideologies? Because such ideologies feature "structure and order" that make it easier to comprehend a complicated world, Dodson said. "Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice," he added.

    Dr. Brian Nosek, a University of Virginia psychologist, echoed those sentiments.

    "Reality is complicated and messy," he told The Huffington Post in an email. "Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies."

    But Nosek said less intelligent types might be attracted to liberal "simplifying ideologies" as well as conservative ones.

    In any case, the study has taken the Internet by storm, with some outspoken liberals saying that it validates their suspicions about conservatives and conservatives arguing that the research has been misinterpreted.

  8. really I pit my irrefutable evidence against your BS.

    [​IMG]

    You as a black man, are you conservative?

    Are you saying the majority of blacks are conservatives since supposedly only dumb people are racists?

    Come on prove blacks vote conservative or prove my graph wrong , I dare you, ya stupid liberal cunt!

    PS: I dare ANY of you stupid liberals to pick up the gauntlet and argue the case I've thrown at the feet of IQ47.

    I know he's an intellectual pussy and will run away.

  9. You know better, I was simply going to see that you were set up with a note. I do that for many of my friends, and I have a service that does it for me. I would love to buy you some drinks, but i think flying back for just that reason is a bit costly. Perhaps when I head back to the States, who knows.
