So, which is worse..1) Calling into Boston Children Hospital and making a Big Bang threat. 2) Doing it from your own phone.

I've always maintained that bigotry and stupidity go hand in hand.

@LordShadowfire I've got a copypasta of some studies on that! Naturally we all take single valued IQs with a grain of salt.

Multiple IQ studies have found a statistically significant positive correlation between higher IQ and more liberal political affiliation. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/millennial-media/201304/do-racism-conservatism-and-low-iq-go-hand-in-hand

Conservatism, and Low I.Q. Go Hand in Hand? Lower cognitive abilities predict greater prejudice through right-wing ideology. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224132655.htm

Liberals and atheists smarter? Intelligent people have values novel in human evolutionary history, study finds. https://www.upi.com/Higher-IQ-linked-to-liberalism-atheism/68381267513202/

Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence.

@ElwoodBlues was there something about npr and those who listen to it are more informed than those who listen to fox news..

@markansas Here's my copypasta on that!!

Actually, according to several studies, the NPR audience is the best informed, and the Fox News audience is the least informed.
