It's somewhat misleading to present this as a 'liberal gene'. Some researchers claim to have found a connection between the DRD4 gene and 'novelty seeking'. If that's true, you might expect that other things being equal those with it were less likely to be conservatives. Two things worth noting; a) that doesn't mean all liberals are of one genotype and all conservatives the other and b) what is 'conservative' varies with context. In Turkey it is to be secular. In USSR it was to be communist.
bunch of fucktards. it's like studie that say for example light makes you fatter- its not light as such that makes you fatter but light that wakes you up and makes you wake up wanting to eat something - DUH. that so-called liberal gene is just some random gene that makes you wanna try out new things. you know, inferior intelligence helps create liberals to bahahahahaha
can someone explain to me why the word "liberal" is used by some as an insult? everything about the word screams qualities that a free thinking educated person should have, is it an american thing?
Actually the gene is associated with "novelty seeking" and thinking outside the box. Thus the close-mindedness of conservatives is a genetic defect, perhaps?
@TheAssesKicker I don't think people here in my country, USA, understands what Liberal and conservative are. They think it's related to political affiliation.
WTF?! what is wrong with you people? People aren't predisposed to agree with every liberal or conservative policy in fact most people pick and choose what policies they agree or disagree with from both sides then see which candidate represents the most they agree with. They must've discovered the stupidity gene cause you are craaaazzzyyyyyy liberals.
Why does so much hatred come from the right? You guys seem to want small government when it comes to taxing your money but then you want large government when it comes to telling everybody else how to live their lives. You are pro-life and pro-war. Talk about making no fucking sense. Up is down in your world, left is right, tax cuts generate revenue and family values is leaving our sick and disabled to die without care. Well fuck you and fuck that.
@iversonmatthew lul right now it seems more hate is coming form the left than the right, im sure once u go to high school an college an get a real job u might understand how things work better an not everything is black an white
@algor123 You mistake disgust for hate. Trying to talk down to someone does not make you correct. And for the record, the last I checked my degrees from St.Thomas were legit..and I know your type doesn't consider teaching a real job. You remember when we crashed the stock market? Wiped out half of our 401ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave ourselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither.
@iversonmatthew okay for one republicans an democrats both voted for thoes issues, an i dont really understand what you are trying to say here, that because of conservatives these things happened? the point is its never completly one or the others fault, as for your remark on health care obama care sucks, but health care dose need to be more affordable for the lower middle class. an so a company spiled oil in the golf shit happens but we need to keep drill or will have 4-5 dollar gas
@iversonmatthew also teacher is not a real job, going form being in school to teaching makes you inexperienced about how things really work, i hope u dont teach political science....
@algor123 Well it is a good thing that I went from being in school, to opening a business and running that for 20+ years. I teach because I love to. I made enough to retire by the age of 40. Next time you try to insult someone for being an educated business owner AND a teacher at least get your spelling correct. Like I would take advice from someone who can't even accomplish the most simple and basic of tasks.
@iversonmatthew regardless of what you do you still are dealing in absolutes an wound't except that both republicans and democrats cause problems an are equally responsible for bail outs an the stockmarket crash, an again one oil spill should not stop oil drilling
Trust me I have nothing nice to say about the Dems either. Let's be very clear here. We are run by an oligarchy. And you really think there has been only 1 oil spill?
@iversonmatthew : Okay, first, "hatred" comes from the extremely small portion of conservatives that the liberal media likes to show everyone. Second, nobody is "pro-war." That's like calling a pro-choicer "pro-abortion." Nobody LIKES war, it's belief in doing what is necessary to maintain power, balance, land, whatever the particular reason behind any given war. Third, saying things like "fuck you and fuck that" make you sound like an un-educated degenerate.
@iversonmatthew And you Liberals are a bunch of crybaby fag loving tree huggers. And all you do is try pushing your freak views on others who don't want to hear about it. Fuck You and go worship YOUR god Obama.
@salozmen29 I'm married to a wonderful lady. Even still, I don't see what is wrong with being for gay rights, unless you are a insecure, little homophobe. Have a nice day!
@salozmen29 what the fuck LOL!? How are Libs pushing their views? We are in countless overseas pointless wars where hundreds of thousands of people are dying. Libs didn't push those wars. Neocons did. We got fed war and had to swallow it no matter if we liked it or not.
@iversonmatthew Bro as a conservative libertarian I don't want war unless it is absolutely our final resort. I have found that authoritarians on both sides of the political spectrum are hypocritical.
The liberal gene: A gene that makes a person sit on there ass all day and expects the government to take care of them with tax dollars paid by hard working blue and white collar americans
@TheLiberalMachine No its true. All you damn liberals think you have some sense of entitlement. Libs are jealous of rich people and people who work hard to require. They want to tax the hell out of rich people so the government can give them government programs and free healthcare. Not to mention all the money spent on foodstamps and welfare aid.
the ignorant hypocrytes of the republicans hate taxes and government programs to help people right? but then why are the republicans under social security? think about that! we want to eradicate the greed!!
@TheLiberalMachine No liberals want to tax the hell out of us rich and give it to the poor. Liberals are jealous and are never happy. The best way to piss off a liberal is to work hard and be happy. As for social security I think it is a waste of money and is something that I will never need cause money isnt a problem for me.
@livinthedream1992 if you were well of I dont think you would be on youtube bragging how much money you have. unless all republicans are as petty as you...
@livinthedream1992 bullshit ideas? the republicans have the worst most idiotic agendas and you say liberal's ideas are bullshit? hahaha! you republicans are so ignorant!! please humor me our "stupid" policies?
Damn liberial hippies, they all need jobs and hair cutts an to stop doing pot ciggrettes, then maybe they could think right. Liberal gene = doing pot, long hair, never working real jobs. liberals = shit
@algor123 You do realize that most upper middle class jobs like doctors, engineers, professors, and other similar jobs are mostly made of of liberals right? You know, the highly educated people who work hard. What was that you said about needing to get real jobs?
@yoyomasterbrad i think u just made that up, an of course proffs are libs they never worked a real job before, an have only experienced school therefore giving them room to live in the ideas of Utopian liberalism
I think outsiders are more liberal. Liberty is about non-conformity. You have to conform to other people's views to be highly social. So IMO it's a bullcrap.
@ubermisogynist But if you're not gay, why should you care. Sounds like you're imposing your beliefs on others. Some think its a race, some don't. And if not, fuck it, give a dog a bone.
@ubermisogynist Its the same as the Roman empire, once a country gets rich enough everyone is gonna push the limits of its generosity to satisfy their sick pleasures. Its all been done before, thats why it doesn't surprise me. It just shows the true face of humanity, Like Eminem said "We ain't nothing but mammals".
@ubermisogynist Good point on the fat and poor. And yeah I do feel they're overstepping their boundaries, soon they'll want VIP citizenship. But in the black and white world we live in who's gonna say something? Who's gonna attack a gray area such as this one in way where people will actually listen. All we can do is send letters to Jon Stewart and hope he responds.
@evilmamaluigi six of your fans lack the gene. Without it, an idiot, like beck, cannot be educated. Even with it, your nurturing can still put you in with the L-geneless.
From one angle........shot down !! I was very anti-social in high school. Still am. But I love.....absolutely love, being liberal !! People are more important than money !! That's the difference !!
So, your genome is on the two-party system too? If you approach it from the *intellectual* side, there are literally thousands of political persuasions derived from countless philosophies. The methods of this study cannot be valid.
Bullshit, at most, it's *associated* with it. Even that is bullshit. So what, do a bunch of people in Europe have this? I'm liberal as hell & I wasn't social in high school (partly because I was liberal). This is such obvious shit, plus how do they even define liberal? Concept rejected. Request denied.
@unfad1ng It seems like someone haven't read Wikipedia for a long while.. I'd recommend you to read Right-wing politics/Left-wing politics articles. Anyway, all this wing politics is mostly just backdoor to your tax money and domination. In my point of view of liberalism, they're all not liberal. Although my liberalism views are a lot more anarchistic than those of mainstream "liberalism" word users.
This gene is a ground breaking discovery. It proves that liberals actions and beliefts are not from thought, reason, logic, but come from a "instinct much like a dog has the natural instinct to roll in feces and sniff behinds.
I hope they will apply this to the court appointed judges and screen them for the gene that over rides our ability to think clearly as humans.
Isn't it ironic that the people that call themselves "critical thinkers" aren't really thinkers at allbut just using theirgenes.
i wish this guy would care about his country before America. there names are the young TURKS. DRD4 is the gene that causes brain damage in babies. this guy was not social with kids,may be with the lunch ladies.
Fox news made this report and we all know, conservative or liberal, that fox news is full of shit. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. This is a disgrace to the scientific community.
@matthewrocks711 fox REPORTED the study by harvard and UC San Diego. It's a disgrace to the scientific community? Then you better bitch to the SCIENTISTS that found the gene. I didn't hear it reported on fox. I heard it from my mother and I thought she was joking. I looked it up and found page after page after page... only ONE of those pages from fox. LMFAO the first site I looked at was NBC
@matthewrocks711 by the way, gay people have different genes than straight people... hence "it's not a choice". hilarious. Science only works for liberals when it's convenient? You either believe science or you don't. which is it? Liberalism REALLY IS A MENTAL DISORDER. LMFAO I can't even get over this one.
@dan16802 When did being socially involved and accepted in HS become classified as a mental disorder?!? That's how the liberal gene develops and I guess it's seen as "retarded" in your sad little conservative world.
@DiamondChrome42 Beck doesn't offend everyone in the world. I'm never offended. But then again, I have skin. The ones that are OFFENDED by Beck usually don't listen to him or watch him. They rely on idiots to tell them what he said rather than listening for themselves. Those people probably have the liberal gene... it prevents them from thinking for themselves and drawing their own conclusions. LMFAO Fox stomps the hell out of the rest in ratings and not because ppl WANT to be offended.
The same exact gene is associated with several diseases and disorders, so I'm not sure they should've promoted it, as it's pretty much entirely hypothetical thus far.
oh this is bullshit... I used to be a liberal... a hard line one too... although I still hate neocons and I was very social... liberalism is embarrassing when you snap out of it...
@WolfArden44 WolfArden. I was being sarcastic. I'm actually very much liberal if you see my other comments. I see you favor democracynow. I too enjoy that radio. I do however think what they are saying is those people are more 'social' so it kinda rhymes in my head. I don't think however that any of this 'socialist' talk has any weight to it nor do i think the republican party has any clout whatsoever these days.
Well that's like the serial killer gene. You can have it but you still need something to happen to you in order for your personality to become that of a killer, Rapist ect......
@RansomCowboy Way to contradict yourself. I'm assuming that by what you said you believe in God. You say it's something "they"(whoever they are I would like you to specify who is behind this conspiracy) come up with in order to make it look like it's not real. Then you say liberalism is not determined by biology but by choice. So which is it? Is God an entity one chooses to believe or is he real?
Liberalism is natural process of human evolution that's why liberals tend to be artist and scientist able to think outside of the rigid traditional thinking of the status quo. The neanderthals and knuckle draggers of our day will have their political victories but nature and time is on our side. Every generation becomes more liberal than it's predecessor Americans is more liberal today than they were fifty years ago and people fifty years ago was more liberal than people a hundred years ago.
@PoliticalControversy The reason people become liberal is because it means more government goodies for themselves. But at who's expense? Certainly not the government's. It just grants them more power. Which in turn enslaves us even more.
I disagree, conservatives have empathy. They just don't see the redistribution of other's hard work as a solution to the problem. They would rather enable them to become self sufficient. Thus alleviating the problem all together. Instead of creating a socialist welfare turnstile. Where the government becomes GOD.
Conservatives think being gay is a mental disorder, and that the term "Muslim" is synonymous with "terrorist". In no way does this qualify as empathy.
"You seem to be putting all conservative in a pretty small box"
They put themselves in that box. No gays - they're an abomination. No Jews - stingy Christ killers. No blacks - Soaking up welfare...Do all conservatives feel this way? No, but do you really have to guess what side the above sentiment always aligns its self too? As I said, the broad conservative view lacks empathy. Its about me, me, me, me, me. Oh, and Jesus cause he loves me too.
No, Liberal politicians pretend they care about people. They keep telling people: Awww poor you, you are too stupid, you are black you are a victim. They pretend to father people and don't allow people to grow and become independent from the government. The love to keep a grip on peoples lives and in that way they can manipulate and make people do whatever they want.
THEY DON'T really care about the people. All that kissing and shit is all part of the job
Well, then I guess it has been distorted lately. America is the only country in the world that started different. That was the intend of the founding fathers.
How do you explain most people in the world want to emigrate to America? especially from socialist, dictatorial and liberal countries. No other country in the world absorbs as many immigrants as the U.S.A.
The so called Obama, Hollywood liberalism is not working in this country. Today you will see.
@elpatriotaLX That's great, considering Obama isn't a liberal. Also, why is it that we get so little immigration from Europe? Hm. Could it because most of it has a higher standard of living?
And, yeah, wow, an election that's likely to revert us to more Clinton-esque policies. That's such a rebuke of liberalism!
@atheistworstenemy I just moved out of a town where I personally knew nearly 2 dozen from England, 6 from australia, 8 from Ireland, 1 from Germany, 1 from Vietnam, 1 from Finland... not to mention the mexican immigrants and indians. There is a HUGE difference though... from india or european countries there are different stipulations to moving here. You must HAVE a job, a sponsor, and sign off agreeing not to take any form of aid. Mexicans have "council matriculation".
@atheistworstenemy oh yeah, and ALL of the people I know from Europe say that the health care system sucks there. LOL one of my friends even changed a plane ticket for a trip because he had a tooth ache. Cost him around $1500 to change his ticket but he said in the 6 months he would be in England he wouldn't have been able to see the dentist.

Americans have no idea what the word means, liberalism is a right-wing ideology.
But americands dont seem to understand this and call leftwingers liberals.

@unfad1ng It seems like someone haven't read Wikipedia for a long while.. I'd recommend you to read Right-wing politics/Left-wing politics articles. Anyway, all this wing politics is mostly just backdoor to your tax money and domination. In my point of view of liberalism, they're all not liberal. Although my liberalism views are a lot more anarchistic than those of mainstream "liberalism" word users.

In my country we call the right wing liberals and the left wing socialists.
And thaths calling them by their right name, americans are so afraid of socialism that they call their own socialists for liberals instead.
weird..
unfad1ng 11 months ago
@IBMua
i agree that right and left wing is confusing because it lacks the social dimension.
bur right-wing is economic freedom and left-wing is economic security.
But this doesnt take into account the social dimension with social freedom vs social security.
Conservatives are people who want social security and economic freedom.
Liberals want social freedom and economic freedom. (americans call the libertarians)
Socialists want economic security and social security(americans call them liberals)

This gene is a ground breaking discovery. It proves that liberals actions and beliefts are not from thought, reason, logic, but come from a "instinct much like a dog has the natural instinct to roll in feces and sniff behinds.
I hope they will apply this to the court appointed judges and screen them for the gene that over rides our ability to think clearly as humans.
Isn't it ironic that the people that call themselves "critical thinkers" aren't really thinkers at allbut just using theirgenes.

Those people probably have the liberal gene... it prevents them from thinking for themselves and drawing their own conclusions.

Then you say liberalism is not determined by biology but by choice. So which is it? Is God an entity one chooses to believe or is he real?

Liberalism is natural process of human evolution that's why liberals tend to be artist and scientist able to think outside of the rigid traditional thinking of the status quo. The neanderthals and knuckle draggers of our day will have their political victories but nature and time is on our side. Every generation becomes more liberal than it's predecessor Americans is more liberal today than they were fifty years ago and people fifty years ago was more liberal than people a hundred years ago.
PoliticalControversy 1 year ago
@PoliticalControversy The reason people become liberal is because it means more government goodies for themselves. But at who's expense? Certainly not the government's. It just grants them more power. Which in turn enslaves us even more.
NOMCCBAMA 1 year ago
@NOMCCBAMA
People become liberal because it is a group that doesn't have prerequisites like:
1. Being white
2. Being straight (or just pretending to be for the sake of "family values")
3. Wanting to blow Jesus, despite #2
Liberals are by no means perfect, or infallible, or even particularly special. But they seem to get something that conservatives don't: empathy.
MrCherryGhost 1 year ago
@MrCherryGhost
I disagree, conservatives have empathy. They just don't see the redistribution of other's hard work as a solution to the problem. They would rather enable them to become self sufficient. Thus alleviating the problem all together. Instead of creating a socialist welfare turnstile. Where the government becomes GOD.

Conservatives think being gay is a mental disorder, and that the term "Muslim" is synonymous with "terrorist". In no way does this qualify as empathy.

They put themselves in that box. No gays - they're an abomination. No Jews - stingy Christ killers. No blacks - Soaking up welfare...Do all conservatives feel this way? No, but do you really have to guess what side the above sentiment always aligns its self too? As I said, the broad conservative view lacks empathy. Its about me, me, me, me, me. Oh, and Jesus cause he loves me too.

Empathy? Liberals?
No, Liberal politicians pretend they care about people. They keep telling people: Awww poor you, you are too stupid, you are black you are a victim. They pretend to father people and don't allow people to grow and become independent from the government. The love to keep a grip on peoples lives and in that way they can manipulate and make people do whatever they want.

You must HAVE a job, a sponsor, and sign off agreeing not to take any form of aid. Mexicans have "council matriculation".
