The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is spending over $100,000 studying disgust, hypothesizing that all bullying behavior begins with feelings of revulsion.

I might go so far as to say most bullying could start from disgust but my personal observations tell me that it sometimes at least stems from pure sadistic pleasure.

Kids will continue to be kids...

Film at eleven.

You just watch, it will get so you can’t say anything to each other on our school campuses, because the PC police will deem anything discussed with two points of view, to be some sort of thought crime.

Anyone need me to explain where Conservatism fits in?

I am revolted by liberals. I do not want them bullied. I want them put in cages. I don’t think thats improper considering they are wild animals and dangerous to society.

The researchers believe disgust leads to “homophobic, sexist, and racist attitudes,” and hope to determine when the emotion enters the “moral toolbox.”

Homosexuality is a naturally disgusting, nauseating, and offensive to moral sensibilities. It violates biological, historical, and moral foundations of the Western World. It is almost a certainty that this study will confirm that disgust cannot be eviscerated from man, so society must remove man's "moral toolbox" with which

This is much worse then simple waste.

This is the very essence of totalitarianism.

It is no business of government to change human nature, even if it were possible.

The description from the NIH project page is literally insane. It is dripping with references to bullying and how few escape it’s effects and the root cause of bullying is... disgust of course!

From what I infer if we can just coerce people somehow to not feel disgust, society can eliminate bullying and finally evolve in a positive, progressive way!
(However encouraging people to partake in even slightly less disgusting behavior and dress is I guess not an option.)

This is exactly the kind of study that a totalitarian states do.

And it is also something a Republic has no use for.

you’re right.

the Italian kids in the next neighborhood didn’t wait for bullying, They just punched you.

I took up boxing, got into a fight with some brick with a head and did a pretty good job.

That was that.

BTW, I’m Italian, they didn’t discriminate :)
