...you don't think that, if certain political positions spawn primarily from a physiological defect that causes an overabundance of fear rather than any sort of rational thought process, this is a problem?
I'm not sure what you're talking about... What is the "physiological defect"? Where's the indication that the political positions are spawning from it? How do you know the fear is an overabundance?
So, you;re perfectly fine with major political policy decisions being made based on an admittedly emotional basis of fear rather than pragmatic, realistic policies driven by accurate information and rational thinking?
I'm sure there's been worse bases for those decisions... Been happenin' for a long time and will be for a while.
Not a big deal, really, but I'm not sure I'm "perfectly fine" with it.
I mean, it's entirely possible that I'm misunderstanding you, CS, what with your verbose contribution to the discussion of two fucking words.
Well, it
was a reply to an OP with
zero fucking words from the author...
I was trying to find out if there was any point to be made, but Taz was just trolling so fuck 'em.
But personally,
if it is true that a specific set of political positions are closely correlated to an overabundance of fear caused by a brain abnormality, I'd be a little disturbed.
I'd be a lot
more disturbed by people who
think that's just dandy.
Meh, the left has been doing whatever it can to vilify the right for so long that their findings aren't alarming anymore.
You've simply made a mile out of this inch that you've been given.
You've taken a
correlation between political views and the sizes of parts of the brain and concluded that "certain political positions spawn primarily from a physiological defect that causes an overabundance of fear".
Whoopty-fuckin'-do
