If you have a bigger amygdyla (associated with fear and other primitive emotions) and smaller anterior cingulate (associated with empathy, courage and optimism) you'll likely be a conservative.

And those with the "Liberal Gene", the "novelty seekers", are more likely to be promiscuous and/or a drug addict.

You mean this study?

Apparently "the liberal gene" is correlated with better reading skills, too. Hint: "Monogamous" and "promiscuous" are antonyms.

The "research" you cited correlates the "Liberal Gene" with "Novelty Seeking".


NS status is linked to alcohol-related problems.

I'm surprised you are not aware of research linking alcohol abuse to high-risk sexual behavior, including an increased number of sexual partners.

If we can find one of those studies linking rock music, we'd have Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. That liberals were more closely associated should generate a healthy "Duh".

Well, if I ever decide to emigrate to Armenia, I'll keep an eye out for that.

Now, the Rock and Roll part might screw up the results of a study that shows who is participating in some of this behavior privately. Sex and drugs catch all kinds of Conservatives and Religious alike. But, they're probably listening to gospel when dabbling with prostitues, or boinking alter boys, or doing cracks, or getting their maids to procur their oxycontin.

D'uh.

I know in another thread it appears you forgot what you posted, but I didn't forget what I posted here.
