A Side Effect of Testosterone Poisoning

Posted by kdawson on from the go-ahead-and-get-mad dept.

obtuse writes "With a finding that may explain Internet trolls — or at least building contractors — U. of Michigan researchers have discovered that individuals with high levels of testosterone find an angry face rewarding. In their experiments, this was true even if the angry image was perceived subliminally so that the subjects didn't register it consciously."

  2. Ron Paul and the Republican Debate by bit+trollent · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Ron Paul just kicked ass at the Republican debate on Fox news. Right now he has the most votes on a text message vote that Fox news is doing.

    The top 3 are:
    Paul 29%
    Romney 27%
    Giuliani 16%

    During the debate Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani had a confrontation about the causes of 9/11 and how we should interpret the attacks and behave. Giuliani actually asked Ron Paul to take some comments back about the causes of 9/11 and Ron Paul refused. Now, Ron Paul, who is considered a second tier candidate is actually leading the vote.

    The guys on Fox News don't know what to make of it. He just had a confrontation with Sean Hannity and wiped the floor with him with facts and common sense. Seriously, tune in its hilarious. I'll try to post videos later.

    Also, vote for Ron Paul by texting R7 to 36988.

      Ron Paul is about as close to being a true Republican as you can get. I mean that in the true sense of the word Republican. Ironically the modern day Republican Party is more like the Federalist Party that the Democratic-Republican Party was formed to counter.

      Sounds fair, as the modern democratic party is the heir of the original Democratic-Republican party.

      I'd be a Republican if they were actually anything like the Republicans of old. What party can I associate myself with in these modern times? :( I blame the religious right for hijacking the grand old party for their own agenda. The politicalization of religion is as evil as Osama Bin Laden himself.

      (democrats have roughly the same problem. the DNC pushes a socialists agenda, but your average card carrying democrat voter is nothing like a socialist)

      There is no such thing (in the US) as an independent primary.

      This is what you must realize so you can move beyond your naive idealism.
