Just when I was thinking threads of the forum could not get any more credulous, along comes this one. Yet another ridiculous study and cconlusion by academics with nothing better to do and in need of something to bullish. Social science is a contradiction in terms. These kinds of studies and...

Lumpy, May I suggest you start a thread, The Truth By Lumpenproletariat? There you can preach and proclaim truth as you see fit without derailing other threads.
