Researchers Claim To Be Able To Determine Political Leaning By How Messy You Are
According to a study to be published in The Journal of Political Psychology, you can tell someone's political affiliation by looking at the condition of their offices and bedrooms. Conservatives tend to be neat and liberals love a mess. Researchers found that the bedrooms and offices of liberals tend to be colorful and full of books about travel, ethnicity, feminism and music, along with music CDs covering folk, classic and modern rock, as well as art supplies, movie tickets and travel memorabilia. Their conservative contemporaries, on the other hand, tend to surround themselves with calendars, postage stamps, laundry baskets, irons and sewing materials. Their bedrooms and offices are well lit and decorated with sports paraphernalia and flags — especially American ones. Sam Gosling, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, says these room cues are "behavioral residue." The findings are just the latest in a series of recent attempts to unearth politics in personality, the brain and DNA. I, for one, support a woman's right to clean.
Liberals love a mess? No wonder they love government...so much in common
Or i dont use washed up epithets, but proper political definitions.
My -1 Troll is actually a +1 funny. And my -1 flame is actually a +1 insightfull.

My -1 Troll is actually a +1 funny. And my -1 flame is actually a +1 insightfull.
You would be lying if i said "im a leftist" and you understood what that would detail without giving into assumptions.

So you did understand what I meant.. that's all I wanted.
Anyone that adheres to atheism is probably a liberal thinker. Ayn Rand, an atheist, was therefore a liberal thinker. She just wasn't a leftist. They aren't the same thing.
So, they are frightened of the world outside their bedroom, but neat. Perfect roommates then.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Though I guess I should congratulate him on not fucking up the place...
Oh? Didn't Clinton start the deregulation that led us to today? See here.
Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
So lefties are lazy while conservatives are all workaholics?
I really resent this. In my view it is actually the other way around. People on the right don't want things to change because they don't want to adapt and put the effort into learning new things.
People on the left will always knuckle down and advance. That's probably why most university graduates are left leaning moderates. We don't fear that we will be left behind by change.
Just in general elections:
You earn less than $100,000/year: your vote doesn't count anyway. You go with whoever makes you feel better or has better lies to tell.
$100,000-250,000: Most likely you are in a business that makes use of the freedom-limiting laws like DMCA: Democrat
$250,000 and above: You're rich and you like the tax breaks you get on the backs of the lower-earning folks: Republican
Or another overview for THIS election:
Your IQ 120:
Democrat
