Title: They might as well have gone back to phrenology...
Post by: Askold on June 11, 2015, 11:28:28 am
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3119063/Can-scientists-spot-pedophile-Study-claims-likely-physical-deformities-left-handed.html

So in their search for clues as to why people are pedophiles they started listing things like the shape of the ear and dominant hand... Because correlation is the same as causality and judging people based on their appearance and then pre-emptively labeling them as pedophiles is obviously part of modern science.

So the list of things to look out for:


Unfortunately they did not reveal what skull shape the pedofiles have so phrenology tests may have to wait a while longer.

Oh, they also found some anomalies in the brain and may have found a test that reveals if someone is a pedophile by monitoring their brain activity when they are shown pictures of children. But lets disregard that and focus on accusing people of pedophilia based on their appearance or dominant hand.

Hm, and here I thought I just liked short girls.  Turns out my lefty nature makes me a pedo.  Whelp, guess I'm gonna go get chemically castrated or something.  That, or just make a bowl of nachos and watch The Boondocks.

According to this list, gay men and asexual men are both pedophiles, and ain't that something.

(Just a reminder that I as well am a pedophile lefty)

The only bit that might have scientific value in this study was the study on brain reactions when shown images of kids.

But seeing how stupid the rest of the study is I am not sure if I can trust any of it.

And even then, why aren't they studying the causality between handedness and being the president of USA? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States

They say that 30% of pedophiles are lefties but I am seeing much higher correlation with being the POTUS and being lefty than being a left handed pedophile.

HA!  Obama's left-handed.  I knew there was a reason I liked him.  Lefty master race!  Crush the inferior right-handed scum!

The Handedness War has begun, and right-handers have fired the first salvo. I will be proud to stand with my left-handed brothers and sisters against this defamation of our character.

You can stand with inferior right handed people like Kim-Jong Un and Greg Abbott, or you can stand with superior lefties like Leonardo da Vinci and Barack Obama. You decide.

Ambidextrous people will be the arbiters of peace between our two camps.  Besides, they can kick both our asses with one hand tied behind their backs...because they're both dominant!

I'm left-footed. Does that count for anything?

I'm also left-eyed, which probably means I use platypus eggs to play tennis.
