Conk/Donk Humor Test

Post by Col Hogan »

So, a study at the ultra-lib Mount Holyoke College (near the ultra-lib UMass :oops: ) set out to find out how has the better sence of humor...Conservatives, or Liberals...

And to the surprise of those involved, they found that conservatives overall have the better sence of humor...from the simple to the complex humor...than liberals... :lol:

And conservatives are going to need that sence of humor over the next few years, I'm sure...

Not surprising....it's been my experience that liberals tend to go around looking to be offended (take SE for example)....and let's face it, alot of humor is based upon stereotypes....I have no problem with this humor as I don't mind it being thrown back at me....to get as good as I give per se, but liberals by and large, don't find humor in ANY sterotype save religious Republican sterotypes......let's face it, the ultra left AND the ultra right have really shitty sense of humor....can't make fun of their own beliefs and stereotypes....
