So maybe finances have an impact on looks and therefore looks only very minorly or even completely superficially change your political views, as lower incomes may be more leaning towards "the types of social assistance and welfare aid more commonly promoted by leftwing policy."

The Chinese don't exactly get to choose whether or not they want communist rule, since the government chooses which parties are and aren't legal.

Is that a smoothbore Dahlgren gun, or are you just happy to see me?

I agree, the first point is simple nitpicking. Nonetheless, the author of a study which deals with political thinking (or any proper research) should be as precise as humanly possible. Maybe he has the two ideas defined in the actual paper, I do not know.Bombadil wrote:Well hence I say 'privilege' of which attractiveness is a factor, I think there's studies that show tall people tend to be more successful, I think most presidents are over 6ft along with many CEOs.

Interesting, I did not know about the height thing. Of course, that puts a different spin on things because you cannot realistically, permanently alter your size for all I know.
Now I completely agree that the arguement is sound, I am simply questioning as to whether "good looks" as such might simply be a "symptom" of the greater reason for this political belief, which could be wealth. It starts with what make-up one wears, how to do one's hair and ends with the perfect outfit. I also understand that this is not inherent beauty/ handsomeness but it plays a great part, I would think.

Hmm.. I think what's considered 'beautiful' can be pretty equated with symmetry, the more symmetrical your face the more good looking you are seen to be. I mean.. make up and hair can do wonders but it can also be a disaster. I think wealth comes into play with education and confidence.. if you've never had to wonder where your next meal is coming from you're essentially more confident and that can also starkly affect your view on the world.

That is certainly a good point. I shall ponder this a little further.Donut section wrote:Close enough.
Nah, not really. Too much government and private enterprise, too little self-determination. So I would agree with Crockerland that China is hard to take as an example.
