Have a Threshold for Disgusting Things? Find Out – Because It Reveals a Lot About You Who do you think has a stronger stomach: a liberal or a conservative? Who is the tougher party?

Just a matter of who has the higher standards.
I guess I have a low threshold. I couldn’t watch past Kathleen Mcauliffe.
Interesting.
I am not surprised their is a link, I only question the causation element.
The video seems to imply that conservative are most disgust sensitive, or that being more disgust sensitive makes you more conservative.
I would argue that being exposed to supposedly “disgusting” things hardens you.
Those who have always lived in very clean homes for instance might be very sensitive to how clean a gas station bathroom is and be more likely to consider it disgusting. Where someone who lives and has always lived in a pigsty might not be bothered at all.
Since people on the low end of the economic spectrum are far more likely to support liberals that provide them with needed assistance, and are also far more likely to live in horribly disgusting environments, they might simply have become hardened to it all.
It's the daughter of Helen Thomas.
Also,regarding her mentioning of "xenophobia" and germs...I've done a fair amount of traveling in my day.I've traveled the First World *and* the Third World.Africa...Asia...South America.I can guarantee that a decent,respectable person experiences a whole new level of disgust visiting such places...and seeing some of the people there.
IOW,this woman's just engaging in a slightly different,a somewhat more "scientific",form of "You voted for Trump? I bet you didn't graduate 3rd grade".
It’s not so much what level of “disgusting” you’re sensitive to, it’s what you do about it when it’s your responsibility.
Litmus test: which of these phrases are you more likely to act on -
- “Leave it better than you found it”
- “Somebody else’s job”
?
Doesn’t matter how far down the economic ladder you are, you can still clean up after yourself.
BINGO
Idiotic premise.
I’ve seen all kinds of disgusting things and traveled to 3rd world countries to see how they manage life.
I’ve also seen dead people in car accidents and in a autopsy.
I just prefer to live a certain way.
For instance, I cannot stand a dirty bathroom or kitchen and I am constantly wiping everything.
I even have a bottle of alcohol in the bathroom so I can disinfect everytime I’m in there.
Used the toilet? wipe it down.
Use the sink? Clean and wipe it down.
I never spend any real time such as an afternoon cleaning because I am always cleaning.
As for stepping in dog poop, it pisses me off.
The flaw is in viewing people through a biological/behaviorist/brain connection lens. People, despite what we observe, are more complex than that.
There is a massive spiritual dynamic to the way we tick, which will forever evade the clinician watching with tablet in hand.
No but I know when I see it . . . heh heh
Well, that was a leftist propaganda-filled several minutes of my life that I’ll never get back.
It was, however, interesting that this researcher noted correlation between lack of disgust and lack of empathy, and given her thesis of leftists being far less prone to disgust, you’d think in the interest of even-handedness that she might deign to explore this.
Looking at behavior in large cities, with crime victims being ignored and going unaided, with hit and run drivers in cities rolling around having pedestrians embedded in their windshields begging for help until they bled to death, with the increasing isolation and visible lack of empathy among urban young, with the murder rates being through the roof among urban blacks and no one cares, it would seem as if an obviously intelligent person such as herself would perceive this as a worthwhile avenue to pursue in her related research into pathologiziing conservatism.
Insert Helen Thomas pic.
I’m not going there. It sounds disgusting.
Given the alternatives, I’d prefer our dear Rosie relieve the pressure by picking her nose. Good choice on her part.
My background is science.
I am glad I am not a “scientist”: Science has been totally politicized by the communists.
Studies are routinely designed to promote a leftist ideology and agenda.
If you fight this trend, you are destroyed.
For clinician, you can now increasingly substitute communist: Science has been subverted in the West.
Do you think this woman even realizes that she’s solely concentrating upon an attempt at making a pathology of conservatism? When an even more damning corellation pertaining to liberalism is staring her right in the face, in her own research?
Scientific studies - so called - more and more are merely excuses for promoting Cultural Marxism promulgated under the deceptive patina of objective research.
These researchers just happen to design studies that just happen to allow them to conclude that leftists are somehow better than rightists.
They are no more serious science than the climate change models.
