    Are you serious? How many people do you know from P&R that has over 30k posts who is a lefty? There is only one. The most notorious poster probably ever on ET. Fwiw, I believe he died. But the poster I'm referring to of course is Zzz, ART (aroguetrader), and Optional (sp), those were three of his aliases, he had a few others. He was a fixture down there for about a decade. Started almost EVERY single thread in P&R.

    Liberals are smart. According to a study in the Social Psychology Quarterly, liberals are more intelligent than conservatives. Other studies show that liberals have higher IQs and that more intelligent children are likely to grow up to be liberals. (Smarter people are also more likely to be atheists.) More proof: Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Jan Brewer

    .
    Conservatives are serial killers. What do Ted Bundy (the good-looking George W. Bush lookalike), Gary Ridgway (the nice guy who had sex with his victims after he killed them), and Dennis Rader (Witchita's BTK killer) have in common? If you guessed that they're all serial killers, you'd be partially right. But if you guessed that they're all serial killers who were big supporters of the Republican Party, then you'd be even more right (so you're probably a liberal -- see #1). Anecdotal studies support the theory that most serial killers are Republicans. Once caught, their conservative pals are most inclined to give them the death penalty.

    You've been on this site for 10 years and you still post crap like that? Doesn't one evolve over time and grow some maturity in their posting? I guess not with you. Since you probably have little to no knowledge in statistics, I can tell you that over the years there have been thousands of studies showing that one party is smarter then the other. And yes, even studies showing that serial killers tend to be liberals. Of course all these statistics, both on the left and right, manipulate their data to spit out what they want but that discussion might be too intellectual for you to follow. I'll let you google it.

    On a side note, your post was off topic. Not that you actually care.

    America seems to constantly be a polarized, divided country that often bases its opinions not on common sense but other criteria like political affiliation and state location.

    I'm not saying America is a nation of bigots, what I'm saying is perhaps the environment is somewhat poisoned and such behaviour is too easily accepted. I have no idea what percentage of Americans are truly ignorant or racist, I just find it strange that on a trading forum there would be such an exaggerated profile.

    Then again, the amount of conspiracy theories and predictions of massive worldwide destruction on economic fronts doesn't suggest this is a very typical place anyways. It could just be the eccentrics have a big voice here.

    Disclaimer : I'm not a leftist, a socialist, I'm not a visible minority.
    I'm not Democrat or Republican, I'm not American. So anyone who seeks to label me in order to dismiss my opinion will have to focus on the "horrible" record Canada has in terms of race relations and diversity. Not that labelling someone is correct, it just seems to be standard on here.

    What on God's green earth are you fucking talking about? There is probably 10k members of ET who post at least once in a given year and there are maybe 3 or 4 people in P&R you are referencing and you extrapolate from that data that ALL of ET is like that and even worse, all of America? Are you really a trader? Or are your statistical analysis skills really that weak? I mean seriously.
