Well, I didn't really do it on purpose. The book was in hubby's stocking at Christmas. My father is freaking out. He thinks she will get expelled when she starts school. Hehehee

They monitored all these people growing up in Berkeley? Come on! If they had done the same study in the Heartland somewhere I can imgine they would get results conducive to that area, conservative.
This is stupid. Seriously, just stupid.
Cal Poly!!!
Oh I am so sorry...
I would think the more important bogus conclusion from this bogus study is that one's path in life is largely pre-determined.
If I'm a whiny, insecure nursery school kid then I'm damned to be a "rigid young adult" and whatever the opposite of " bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests" would be.
So is the whininess and insecurity genetically programmed?
Or we're emotionally impressionable until nursery school and then the switch gets flipped off and we've got no probability of emotional change or growth?
think about it...if the study went from kindergarten for 20 years, then they tracked these kids through college. BERKELEY....yes, most of them will be liberal after four years of indoctrination. Go talk to them in 10 years.
We are talking Berkley, here. My guess is that everyone right of Joseph Stalin was marked conservative.
Could it be that the ones who were not whining learned that their crackhead mother was too busy sleeping off a high to hear them so they learned that whining didn't work until they could jack an innocent bystander and then learned to cry that it was police brutality when they were beat to a pulp by a sheriff because the perp killed his partner and the perp's pregnant girlfriend?
Where as the whiny kid learned that he is loved and grew to be confident because he knew that he could take risks because he was still valuable.
So what's their full definition of "conservative"? Is it just about respecting authority?
Excellent parenting!
So now conservativism is "genetic"? What won't the radicals try to push next?
<<<"The kids' personalities were rated at the time by teachers and assistants who had known them for months.">>>
There's a huge clue in that statement!
You know what it is, the guy has conservatives pegged as the goody-goody nerd. It's sterotyping at it's worst.

Self-reliant liberal? Never met one. Do they exist?
Wow, my four year old's biggest insult is doo-doo head. Maybe I should consider special ed. ;o)
>>>We are talking Berkley, here. My guess is that everyone right of Joseph Stalin was marked conservative.>>>
You have a point.
Yeah, she/he's way behind. Mine's just turning three.
Wanna send the little urchin over here for tutoring? :)
Rosy will read the liberal book, and they can yell "Booyah!" together. (Apparently that's a popular exclamation in leftist oppressor circles.)
It must be accurate.
Imagine having to be handled by all those leftists in your tender years.
Proper headline:
PSYCHOTIC WHINERS FROM BERKELEY PROVE THEY ARE NOT PSYCHOTIC WHINERS
Yeah, this "research" is really convincing..... nominate these clowns for the Nobel Peace Prize since they belong in the same pathetic club as Jimmy Carter and Yassir Arafart.
did ya'll notice the 'hugh' pool of study subjects... a whopping 100 kids. Um..I'm not a statistics wiz, but 100 and this is considered "valid"??? yikes.
40 years of liberal policies have shown failure. Conservatives are the ones who ARE trying something new.
