Study: Liberals drink more alcohol than conservatives

Hey, it’s not liberal Hollywood’s fault that conservatives can’t do art. For some reason, conservative attempts at pop culture simply don’t pan out for the most part.

Yeah, you're right, just look at Justin Bieber. Oh wait. :mrgreen:

Btw, "pop culture" isn't art.

I don't know about the drinking but it is true that Liberals are more artistic than Conservatives. They create better art, Movies, music etc.

Well, that may or may not be true, but it is true that there are very few funny conservative comedians. Liberals pretty much own comedy.

"Logical thought portions of the brain"? I will admit it . . . I am not a doctor, researcher, or scientist . . . so please explain to me what a logical thought portion of the brain is. It sounds way scientific and far above my intelligence level, so if you could . . . dumb it down for me.

Frontal lobe, you know, where alcohol does the most cerebral damage. Now, go paint something. :mrgreen:

That's up for debate. The Beatles at one time were pop culture and scores of people consider the Beatles work "art" Not all pop culture has artistic merit, but some does.

Not that many conservative scientists so.... ISTPs are a lot more likely to be libertarian or liberal than conservative. INTJs are more likely to be conservative. Basically the data driven type scientists tend to be more liberal, the theory driven type scientists tend to be more conservative. Not sure what to make of that at all.

Well why didn't you just say that. "Frontal Lobe" vs. "Logical thought portions of the brain" . . . if I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to be creative and artistic with your words. I mean really . . . what is easier to say; "Frontal Lobe" or "Logical thought portions of the brain"? Now, go finish your book.

You're overlooking several factors, chief among them is environment. The academic boards, the ones who decide where grant money goes - likely to be liberal. It's life in the echo chamber. Not to mention you hedge your bets distinquishing libertarian from conservative.

Though I have noticed that every physicist and/or mathemetician I've ever know is conservative (outside of universities).

Or they didn't catch it.:lamo (I can do that too) I mean seriously, "Logical thought portions of the brain". You wrote than and then said to yourself, "Yep, that's better than 'Frontal Lobe'". "Logical thought portions of the brain":lamo "Logical thought portions of the brain":lamo:lamo

In these modern times.

I think its the Mormons, Pentecostals, Southern Baptists, and the various fundamentalists that drag down the alcohol consumption rate for conservatives. Similarly, those groups probably increase the closeted gay and sham marriage rate for conservatives, but that's another study.

I am so glad that southern baptists don't have a prohibition against southern baptist jokes or else we would never hear the end of them.

I read a study that stated 97% of studies consist of studies that 75% of the time were studied by approximately 52% of researchers in the field of studying studies.
