Study finds that attractive people have more liberal views

[Badger]

Younger and higher educated people are likely to be healthier, eat more consciously, spend more time engaging in sports, have less stress etc. And skew liberal. Lots of potential spurious relationships here.

These are all reasonable points. However, I have read that poor people are more likely to be overweight than wealthy people. The reasons for this are fairly obvious, having to do with being able to afford a better diet, and having more leisure time to exercise. The poor are, contrary to some social conservative myth, notably more likely to support abortion rights than the wealthy.

I'm really not sure how much that counteracts your valid points, other than to note it's not quite black and white.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I wouldn't expect someone like Joe Republic to know that. Physical beauty says nothing about a person's character or their personality.

To the irony ore mine, stat!

Is this some kind of joke?

no, it's bad science, a worse headline and a bunch of bottom feeders celebrating something they misunderstood.

You probably get mad at people for liking professional wrestling because "it's not real!!!!1"

quite the opposite in fact.  People that say wrestling is fake will get a reaction out of me.  Wrestling is usually staged, but it's not fake.  Pro wrestling, when it's done right, is one of the best forms of entertainment ever created.


(and the only people that "get me mad" are people not passing in the passing lane)

My trigger point is drivers whose religion apparently forbids the use of turn signals.

Try to read the article, because it’s what it says in more diplomatic manners.

No, I read the article. You are simply being a judgemental twit.

Why do you assume a person using the phrase “one-night stand” is being judgmental? Beyond that, it’s a completely rational assessment of self interest.

When linked to support of abortion, it implicitly conjures images I'm a very puritanical looking down one's nose at supposedly loose and irresponsible women it sounds like something that would he said buy some dope who thinks Planned Parenthood gives away a membership card you can get stamped so your sixth abortion is free.

However, since the poster in question subsequently indicated that he actually supports abortion, maybe I'm being more sensitive than he is being crass. Or perhaps a bit of both
