What a shock!

Post by Nightshade »

"Progressives" are foulmouthed and without common civil manner more often than conservatives.
Left-wingers are more likely to use swear words than their right-leaning counterparts, a study of thousands of Twitter accounts has suggested.
While conservative-leaning individuals are, perhaps unsuprisingly, more likely to use religious terms such as "God" and "psalm", those on the liberal end of the political spectrum are heavy users of "f***" and "s***" online.
Researchers at Queen Mary University in London analysed more than 10,000 Twitter users who follow either the Republican or Democrat party Twitter accounts.

It's actually proven science that cursing is an effective short-term stress reliever. So ★■◆● you! :mrgreen:

(Also man if you're not cursing on Twitter you're doing it wrong)

With no effect on others or society at large I'm sure. :roll:

And taking out a loan at 25% to buy a car is a good short-term way to save money.

Mr. Trump insults people and is uncivil all the time without using even one swear word. Such tact, like it's any better. Polite liberals swear in private, not in pubic conversation by the way, although doing it on forum boards and twitter isn't really public because it's in text. And Top Gun is right, it's the best stress reliever in town, in private conversation though. In public, anyone who swears out loud sounds like an moron. Maybe that's why conservatives are all uptight. They don't swear enough and release all that stress. :P

Trump is hardly a conservative.

He's running as one and those "conservatives" he's courting are lapping up every foul insult he throws out like it's candy.
