Right Wingers are Morons, Canadian study shows.

Did Josephus write that article or are you referring to something else?

I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what your point is.

Nowhere in that article were right-winger and bigot used interchangeably.

It's possible that you were not referring to the article, in which case I misunderstood.

I thought it was a clever use of language, and even if I doubt the sets overlap sufficiently to be truly inclusive of one another, the meaning was conveyed, and that's what's important.

Yeah a great way of looking petulant and childish.

You know, as a minority fag you've never really explained why you politically support people who would hate you if they knew you.

There's room for debate.  The article seems to be defining right-winger as someone who doesn't like to work with or live close to minorities, is tough on crime, and thinks schools should teach children to obey.  To me that sounds closer to a definition of bigot than of right-winger (which granted, bigots--at least white bigots--are usually a subset).

[Josephus]

I'm not convinced that racism and homophobia are exclusively right-wing views.

You must have not made it to the last line.

[Josephus]

Josephus' keyboard?

I said right wingers are morons not bigots.

[Maximus]

There's room for debate.  The article seems to be defining right-winger as someone who (1)doesn't like to work with or live close to minorities, (2)is tough on crime, and (3)thinks schools should teach children to obey.

It seems to me that it is defining right-winger as (2) and (3) and claiming a co-relation with (1). I'm not convinced this is a good definition or right-wingedness, but I wouldn't call it the definition of bigotry either. TBH (2) and (3) seem like non-issues, especially (3). Maybe they are issues in Britain.

To me that sounds closer to a definition of bigot than of right-winger (which granted, bigots--at least white bigots--are usually a subset).

No contest

I thought they were defining right-winger as 1,2, and 3 and claiming a corelation with stupidity.

Actually I have but then you've never bothered to listen.

I guess it could be interpreted either way in this article. I read about this study a week or so ago in a different article and got a different impression. I'll see if I can find it.

Same goes for you, cop.

[Razgovory]

See, I don't buy that.  The most intelligent person I know is a right-winger, and the same holds true for all of you.

Of course you don't buy that.  If you were smarter, you'd realize it.  That's part of the problem.

I never tell black people about my past.  That way, I am embraced by them and travel amongst them all sneaky-like.
