Science says Conservatives happier than Liberals...

[got tonkaed]

Whilst attempting to checka the email i stumbled across this little article. Though i havent traced it back to the original, im sure someone could if they really wanted to. If anything its probably good trolling ammo for anyone who normally doesnt like to take shots at liberals but has always wanted to do so...

u know come to think of it liberals do seem more pissed off all the time

[got tonkaed]

there were a couple of justifications in the article that made me chuckle, mostly the one about traditional vs more egalitarian divisions of labor in marriages. Apparently in traditional marriages women are never bothered by their spouses household work habits. It was probably one of the times where i thought the article made something of a backhanded swipe at the intellectual capacity of conservatives.

Admit it, the only time you're happy is when you are being a sadist!

[got tonkaed]

I suppose i would have to. All of those ideas about fairness and equality for people scream sadism.

Yeah prob true. Most conservatives are selfish, narrow minded bigots who only think of thier own happiness.
Liberals tend to worry about their fellow Man, which is always a bit depressing.

So yeah be a conservative and be happy - just a shame yor kids will all drown under the polar ice caps, when they hit arizona in 50 years time.

life is like risk. the conservatives are the defenders of the status quo, the liberals the attackers.

the liberals are more stressed because even if they can match the conservatives, it is a draw and all draws go to the defender.

Conservatives as you understand the term don't stand for the status quo at all, they stand for overthrowing the welfare nanny-state and instauring a golden age of respect for property rights and liberty. They believe in freedom: they are the original liberals, but, "as a supreme if unintended compliment to its proponents, the enemies of free enterprise thought it wise to appropriate it's label".

But, they seem so angry and afraid.

Leftists get angry and afraid because their vast mollycoddling superstructural nanny-state is threatned with destruction by authentic liberals, and along with it's demise would come the inevitable necessity for them to fend for themselves in the real world, like real men, a prospect they are thoroughly terrified by, since most of them are incapable, lazy, pathetic flower-coller wearing cactus-smokers who, vampire-like, live by sucking the fruits of others' labor, and live the more, the more they leech.

What's wrong with a nanny state? I think most people could do with a nanny...

[tzor]

I'll just state that I'm so happy knowing that I am happier.

i disagree with you on that.

the nanny state is a new phenomenon brought about by liberals in the last 40 years or so.

so, those w/ enough money to live comfortably (including their land) get to keep it, regardless of inequalities of opportunity and in (willful) ignorance of the marginalized folks that this system has been/is being built on.....there's a phrase for that......

oh ya, it's the status quo

If liberals are trying to impart a "nanny state", then the republican goal would be the drunken father-- doesn't provide for you, but beats you if you don't act how he likes.

What's wrong with a nanny state? I think most people could do with a nanny...

And I think that most people could do with a swift kick to their rear end. It varies, I guess, from person to person.
