Is ignorance bliss??
 

Conservatives Happier Than Liberals

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

religion = right wing = opiate.

Well, I guess after reading this we should be asking you. How exactly does conservatism equal ignorance?

If ignorance were bliss most of the people here on gfy would be blistered

LOL

or.... it could just be that the people who spend most of their time actually working to improve their lives, that accept responsibility for themselves and achieve and succeed in life, have a substantially more positive life view than those who have convinced themselves that the "man" is against them, keeping them down and is responsible to take care of them.

just a thought...

:thumbsup

Or.. maybe because they did the poll in 2006 under a republican president? Is a cigar simply a cigar? lol

I think Kickass Vic summarized it quite well.

liberal = idealist = disappointment

I dunno, I'm not all that happy.

LA J, always so happy when I realize there are others not born in pleasantville

Civil rights were so in the way after all. So, my guess the happy sample group just gets a little harder in the crotch when a peasant gets wasted. Hell, they'll make more.

And a side effect of opiates is the masses stop feeling.

Of course they are happy.

"Is Ignorance Bliss?"


Hmm I dont want to know.....

yep

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.

Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel?s Philosophy of Right

Rather amusing that you have to resort to Karl Marx as your reliance.

Sure it is, just ask AlienQ and DaddyHallyBucks or whatever that freaks name is.

its amusing that I am a fan of reading philosophy?

Politricks, that ain't gonna solve this.
Sociologist, your plan is useless.

(name the band with those lyrics and i'll kiss your mom)

Its your ol boy Zac's band! Now kiss my mom! Do it on mothers day please.

nope.
and you call yourself a "fan"! humph.
guess again.

I give up! it must be some crappy hardcore band on Revelation Records or something. Give us a clue!

you scum!!!!
not revelation... try Equal Vision / Deathwish ;)

uhhh, I'll go for Converge, close?

you lump!

the song is Weapon, the record is Songs of Separation, the band is 108

This is the weapon of real revolution
This is the fire of the final rebellion
Politics, that ain?t gonna solve this
Sociologist, your plan is useless

Without the heart being changed
You won?t do nothing but re-arrange
The dearanged situation
Of human exploitation
And that is why I imply.

This is the weapon of the real revolution
Unlock the coils
The clamped around your spiritual frame
By crying out the holyname

Fantastic thought. :thumbsup
