New Study: Are Conservatives Psycopaths?

That is crazy because all you have to do is relax and let Obama take care of all your needs without working.

Think of how much time you will have for more important things like watching reruns of Oprah on tv if you don't have to get up and serve some evil corporate master every day.

 

I'd like to read this study. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's garbage.

 

Or rage against capitalism by tweeting people with their iPhones.

 

"scientific?" As if such garbage would ever be considered scientific. Oh that's right you are a liberal and it says "scientific" and it expresses an "opinion" that you deem worthy and acceptable...so yes of course it's scientific.

Of course if the same research had claimed that conservative's were the most mentally stable people on earth....well, we wouldn't even be here with a thread created by you now would we?

 

Somebody else sane needs to post. So far, nothing but crazy people responding.

 

Unless I've got the wrong one - it was heads of companies rather than rightwingers, I think - it got a very respectful review in the Economist. It's a bit difficult to make out from the posts, but it does sound familiar, and that paper doesn't praise garbage.

 

WTF!!! "scientific proof"??????????????? Be careful how far you lower the bar, you may hurt yourself.

 

Not to worry, other studies by a Professor in social psychology, Jonathan Haidt, looks into the moral foundations of political ideology. He delves into the inherent bias and bigotries of self described liberals.

It begs the question......are adult conversations with some liberals even possible?

He does however address the liberal bias and bigotries in the sciences which is clearly what the study you have put forth forth is.

Loving this work Dasein.

The casual abuse conservatives give to liberal voters here put together with the cowardly nature of their chickenhawk policies is clear evidence of psychopathy.

It stems from the basic lack of morals added with easy hypocrisy that conservatives make their own. As in they hate most americans, would happily kill most foreigners who oppose them and according to every one of the conservatives here on this very forum each one of them is a self made man or woman of significant education and acheivement - all traits putting you pretty high on the average psychopath scale.

In fact, like all psychopaths, they need to tell fantastic tales to explain their positions and thats why you end up with such preposterous stuff like the whole academic world is a liberal conspiracy.

 

Respond to what?

 

Finally a well reasoned and thought out opinion.

 

Yeah, too bad McDonalds doesn't allow their employees to go online at work.

 

Macdonalds work involves the dignity of actual work. Conservatives dont bother with sort of thing.

 

Whatever you say. Just don't burn my fries, next time. Have dignity in your work.

 

How are you getting on then? iphone?

 

How many liberals does it take to realize this scientific paper has all the motives of the "dark triad"?

 

HINT: If you had started with a "well reasoned and thought out opinion" instaed of that POS "study", you're up your odds.

 

Perfect answer.

 

let me see if I have this right.

Conservatives are supposed to be psychopaths and run the tea party.

Liberals are the OWS crowd.

Remind me again how many shootings were at tea parties compared to OWS. thanks in advance.

 

Neuroethics? Another stupid made up science like Climate science. Neither has a single degree offered at any university of any merit.
Moronic flamebait reported as such.

 

At least Phrenology had the excuse of existing a long time ago.

 

By these standards, Obama is pretty much a psychopath too.

 

Hahaha. It's called PROJECTION. And you libs hold records for your BDS (Bush Derangement Syndome).

Liberals can be identified by their adolescent behavior, and by their perpetually angry demeanor.

So please, spare the psychological propaganda, and look in the mirror for the real mental illness.

 

You need to learn what "proof" is, moron.

 

A new study by Marcus Arvan, PhD appearing in the peer-reviewed research journal, Neuroethics, shows that conservative moral judgments on the death penalty, gay marriage, free markets, the right to go to war against UN resolutions, and detention of suspected terrorists without trial, correlate with three dark and anti-social character traits: Machiavellianism (deception), narcissism (overinflated sense of self-worth), and psychopathy (absence of guilt or remorse). No significant relationships were found between these traits and liberal judgments on any moral issue

All things Liberals support. Of course a Liberal is going to think your nuts if you don't agree with their warped way of thinking.

Nothing wrong in putting murders to death. We have had at least three people murdered here in Arizona by murders that broke out of prison here and two more that were murdered in New Mexico by another murder that escaped an Arizona prison.


Gay marriage? Marriage is between a man and a woman. You want the same rights as a married person has? No problem, but call it a partnership or anything else you want. It's not a marriage.

Free Markets? How is that working out for you since NAFTA and Free Trade? It's Liberals complaining the most about no jobs, low pay, the rich having all the money.

Right to go to war against UN Resolutions? When has any country allowed another organization tell them when they can go to war and when they can't? When has the UN been able to bring about peace anywhere around the world?

When has any country held civil trials for people caught in combat? You hold tribunals for senior officers or officials. Aren't we doing that right now at GITMO, after Obama said we wouldn't?

No moral issue given here. Hell no this is the crap most of you believe in. But you also have no moral issue with having any type of abortion, even late term abortions, just to get rid of a baby you don't want. But are willing to convict a person for hurting a woman and causing the death of her fetus.

You have no moral issue with making minorities feel they aren't worthy to do anything without the help of the Democratic Party.


You have no problem with giving illegals benefits that you won't even give Americans, like breaks on in state tuition,

You have no problem making twelve million illegals citizens, during one of our worst economic down turns since the Great Depression. Knowing they would be fighting for jobs and benefits Americans are fighting for. With limited resources to handle it.
