Thats a funny way of thinking.  From your logic, conservatives think that they are better than people below them so thet don't deserve rights, whereas liberals think that people below them do deserve rights.  Still, I dont see how a liberal idea, such as letting women vote, is wrong because women should earn the right for themselves.

The actual answer for why educated people are more liberal is qutie simple.  The more educated you are the more likely you are exposed to be exposed to other cultures and ideas.  An educated man meets different types of people at his university, is introduced to many ideas in his studies, and has more money and reason to travel and encoutner differing ideas and cultures.  An uneducated person does have these opportunities, and thus is more likely to give more weight to the ideas of his original social community.

Well I guess that education doesn't do them much good.

I think an uneducated grunt in the Army has probably had far more extensive exposure to the cultures of Afghanistan and Iraq than most college students; and there are soldiers deployed to all corners of the world, in non-combat, peace-keeping and humanitarian efforts.

As a university graduate I can honestly say that post secondary institutions give you an insanely filtered view of other cultures that doesn’t come close to expressing anything about a culture. The best analogy I can give you is of a British chef who learned how to cook Chinese food from a second generation Italian-American chef who has only cooked food-court Chinese food, and this chef claims that he is giving you authentic Chinese food even though he has never been to China. Even those that have visited the countries they’re teaching about have really not had that extensive of exposure to the culture; and it would (sort of) be like a person living in Las Vegas for 2 years claiming to understand the entirety of American culture.

As for being exposed to different ideas, colleges are primarily places where you’re expected to conform to conventional (so called "Liberal") ideas; and are really not the place where conventional ideas are challenged anymore. I dare you to take a Women’s study course and at the first opportunity argue that modern feminism is no longer about promoting equality; after all modern feminists consistently turn a blind eye to honour killings in western countries, refuse to speak out against spousal abuse in minority communities, and are unwilling to look at how women in third world countries dream of one day having the rights to be as oppressed as they are. I’m willing to bet that regardless of the quality of your work you will receive a 0%, and no matter what other work you produce for that class you will certainly be getting an F.

One of the core contributing factors to why subjective fields like the humanities are full of liberal academics is because unless you conform to the ideologies of the establishment you can not succeed.

Funny how this study's results go against just about every pattern and precedent ever set by liberals: thinking with and acting on their emotions instead of logic...

"Going to war is mean, so we shouldn't do it."

"That person is poor and it would be nice to give him money, so the government should do it."

"Somebody wants to have an abortion, have a gay marriage, or wants to come into the U.S. illegally and it would be mean to say 'no,' so we should let them."

"I am a good person because I care about global warming."

"What's that? Those people want to kill us?! But... don't they know we're nice? If they did, they would like us!"

"Timmy has more toys money than Billy, so take half of Timmy's money and give it to Billy."

And of course, if you ever disagree with a liberal, it must be because you are a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a Nazi, "religious", and/or ignorant. Not because you have a legitimate point of view.

Now, this is not to say that conservatives never make emotion-based arguments, or that emotion-based arguments are always wrong... but every time somebody has tried to solve a complex world issue by tip-toeing around everybody's feelings, either nothing has been accomplished or everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

That is the stupidist generalizations on liberals I have ever seen.I could make some retard generalizations up about conservatives if I wanted to, but t is so easy to get banned on this site, but I will anyways!!!

"I am powerful so lets go to war where ever we want"

"That person is poor they must be criminals, lazy and be all out worthless, not even a chance society and genetics gave them the shaft"

"Abortion is wrong I mean danm arn't there like 6 billion people in the world and were destroying the enviornment"

"Gay people are sinners who choose the gay lifestyle, hey Ted Haggard is totally straight now"

"I'm white and I don't like immigrants that are not white"

" I like money who cares if will destroy the oceans reefs because of bleaching"

"I was born rich so I must be a gifted badass"

"Danm pot smoking hippy liberals, swigs his beer and turns on the country music"

Anyways this is all in good fun monkey see monkey do. LOL

Hey hey, good job. Never before have I seen so very many straw man arguments in a single post.

That's actually a hoax.

I mean, an average IQ's of 113 and 85?   Below 70 is mental retardation... standard deviation on an Iq test is 15.  If this was true it would mean 15% of Missisipi woud be considered mentally retarded... when it's usually around 2%.

The lowest a state averages is about 94...

In general, IQ is just lower where there is a lot of immigration, and then the south, because the south has been behind the rest of the country... pretty much forever.

Thanx for finding this I searched myself and found nothing. Still this site does not look like a very reliable source.
