Oh, that might explain why I awoke in a drunken stupor with ten beautiful woman in my bed at the MGM in Las Vegas. Gee, i think i like this gene.

And conservatives are genetically prone to being narrow-minded, dull, and afraid of people and situations that are "different".

It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. Such is life.

I hate these stupid genetic politics threads. Some genes are linked to traits that have an influence on personality which in turn sometimes has an influence on political beliefs.

However, there are no Libertarian Gene nor Liberal Gene nor Conservative Gene nor Nazi Gene nor Communist Gene nor Anarchist Gene. Just genes that have a correlation to certain traits that can influence how a person sees the world and thus their political beliefs.

Promiscuity is fun.
Maybe, for conservatives, it's not a matter of genes, but religious influence.
