Rejection Makes You Dumb

From the article: 'Rejection can dramatically reduce a person's IQ and their ability to reason analytically.'"

Is this part of an agenda?

This whole business sounds VERY fishy to me. My suspicion is that this is nothing but the beginnings of a ploy at "social engineering." Right now the loony left has already infiltrated many public schools and instituted a bunch of BS, supposedly in order to preserve and raise the "self esteem" of students. The truth is that the loony left is bent on undermining western civilization as a whole, especially the middle class or "bourgeois." Most, if not all forms and examples of political correctness are nothing more than a part of this effort. This new "study" just seems to me to be the latest weapon in the ongoing war against common sense. It isn't enough to sucker people into believing that self esteem is more important character and achievement, but damaging someone's self esteem will not somehow make them stupid and damage their character.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying it. Those pieces of shit ought to be ashamed of themselves for even trying to con us with something so ridiculous.

All I can say is that there aren't enough libertarians around.
