Why we hate liberals.
Nobody likes a do-gooder: Study confirms selfless behaviour is 'alienating'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1305716/Nobody-likes-gooder-Study-confirms-selfless-behaviour-alienating.html

Psychologists believe this is because it makes the rest of us feel guilty and puts pressure on us to behave in an equally selfless fashion.

Researchers say do-gooders come to be resented because they 'raise the bar' for what is expected of everyone.

snip:

Social psychologist Professor Craig Parks said: 'The fear is that this new standard will make everyone else look bad.

snip:

'The do-gooders are also seen as deviant rule breakers. It's as if they're giving away Monopoly money so someone can stay in the game, irking other players no end.'

1. Lies
bush was elected and loved for his lies.

From now on, I am lying when I tell people I am doing good. I will now tell them I am making boocku bucks. Then they'll love me.

2. And We Hate "Researchers" with Agendas
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 08:51 PM by Anakin Skywalker
funded by corporate bigwigs, no doubt.

So feeling "guilty" because your @$$ is too lazy and selfish to help out is a cause to dislike the helpful people? Only a f*cked up world would be like that; an Ayn Rand world, Rand Puke world, Freeperworld. Atlas Smug.
