Scientists Find 'Liberal Gene' | NBC San Diego
There is a liberal gene.
There is a conservative gene.
Genes only pass on body structure, not behavior, character, or intelligence. Like father like son is the closest to gene influence you can get.
Neither. One permutation simply makes the brain more open to and seeking of new experiences. That mindset tends to make one more liberal whereas those who find comfort in known ideas and concepts tend to be more Conservative.Given the information in the article, which statement is more true?

That depends on your perspective.If we want to go deeper, the next logical question would be, is one of these variants a defective one? :mrgreen:
It isnt that someone is genetically hardwired to be a Republican or Democrat, its what our brains do with new information. People with this gene generally want to experience and see alternative things, that leads to a more liberal mindset.That's amusing, but completely asinine. One's political leaning is entirely learned from interactions within one's environment. Absolutely no genetics involved.

Scientifically speaking, neither one is defective.
Of course there is no such thing....
However ,what could be genetic is compassion for others, this generally would be more liberal than libertarian....IMO...
Not true. The factors that influence human behavior are so complex that the best answer at this time is that don't understand the many factors that influence the outcome. Genetics may play a role, but nobody really knows how large or small that role is.
I disagree. I think Conservatives are much more compassionate.
It's a fact that they are more charitable.
Just because they are against high taxes and big entitlements doesn't mean they don't care. They want everyone to have the same opportunties to succeed and non stop handouts only prevent people from succeeding in life. Hand ups, not hand outs.
Hand outs tend to keep people down. That is not compassionate.
Nothing skeezy about it, the methodology would be simple enough to find a simple correlation.
I think it's mostly how people come to conclusions through thinking.
Some aspects could predispose how a person thinks, which could influence a political leaning.
I think it's part of each.
Political leaning, yes, but not in the way you think.
95 percent of the voters vote against, not for, because all the "for' documentation is too extensive, too complex, and too wordy to reach an honest "for" conclusion.
Far easier to say no than yes to anything. "Yes" opens new doors to endless possibilities. "No" keeps them closed.
