Conservatives ARE more squeamish than liberals: Study finds right-wingers are more easily disgusted

How easy do you find it to look at revolting images such as a man eating worms?

If the answer is 'difficult', it might offer an insight into your politics.

Scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln showed 50 volunteers a series of 38 disgusting images - including one of a man eating worms (the actual image is pictured, right).

Others included an incredibly emaciated body, a bloody wound and an open sore with maggots in it, as well as human excrement floating in a toilet.

The researchers then measured the electrical 'disgust' response in the skin of their 50 volunteers.

When people are disgusted, their reaction causes a measurable change in the electrical conductivity in their skin.

It's a 'disgust' response that cannot lie.

Liberals are Moral Relativists.
They really have no unwavering core beliefs.
So they don’t feel the same sense of guilt
when circumstances force them to backpedal or waiver.

I'm not a liberal, but for the right price, I would eat the worms, not just look at it.

When I was younger, I once caught a huge cockroach and put it in a jar. I showed it to one of the guys in the dorm.

"How much would you take to eat it?" he asked?

"How much could you offer?," I answered.

Next thing I know, my bud has half the guys in the dorm down in the lounge and we're crowded around a table. I have the huge cockroach in the jar and a little Tabasco and soy sauce for flavoring.

The guys start putting their money on the table, starting with $1's and $5's and pocket change. I don't flinch. After a few minutes, the pile of cash includes $10's and $20's, totaling something over $300.

I open the jar, start pouring Tabasco and soy sauce on the insect, then pick up my fork. Just as I am about to skewer the thing, one guy cries "He's going to do it. He's really serious!"

One by one they chicken out and pull back their money. I get their respect, but I would have rather have had the $300+ dollars.

“girly-men surrender monkeys”

Been looking for a new name for my band. This will do in a pinch. Thanks! :)

Conservatives can make up their minds what is right and what is wrong and do it fairly easy. We don’t need to have someone to a study of the problem.

You should call your band:

“We are NOT girly-men surrender monkeys!” Just make the distinction.

This is a very high concept band name. I think you could make a whole show theme out of it.

Rock on!

Good point. “We are not men, we are Devo” was already taken.
