I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Interesting tidbit: ‘very liberal’ people three times more likely to throw things when angry
August 12, 2008
I still haven’t figured out why people bother doing this kind of statistical polling, but I have to admit that the results are often interesting.
Other findings of Peter Schweizer, in his book “Makers and Takers,” using “the latest statistical data,” include:
- Some 71 percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals.
- Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.
- Liberals are two and a half times more likely to be resentful of others’ success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people’s good luck.
- Liberals are two times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don’t deserve.
- Some 55 percent of conservatives say they get satisfaction from putting someone else’s happiness ahead of their own, versus only 20 percent of liberals.
Yes, it’s all polemical, and I’m not entirely sure what point it serves. It’s still interesting. To me, at least. And this is my blog.
Update: Welcome, Steynians!
Update 2 - The Wrath of Update: More confirmation of same, with some added bits:
In particular, liberals were five times more likely to participate in unmarried sex (20% vs. 4%), more than three times as likely to view pornography (30% vs. 8%), more than twice as likely to lie (21% vs.
and to get drunk (17% vs. 7%), and twice as likely to engage in retaliation (13% vs. 6%) and gossip (17% vs. 9%).
Interesting.
