The study, published in Psychological Science, claims that right-wing ideology forms a 'pathway' for people with low reasoning ability to become prejudiced against groups such as other races and gay people.

It's all a bit sweeping isn't it?

Hardly surprising news for regular visitors to the Sin Bin. You can see the findings of this study played out on here every day of the week.

Surely alienating your own readership isn't particularly intelligent? Then I put two and two together..... Oh, and my second thought was "In further news, water is found to be wet".
