I don't think people should use this as a justification to attack conservatives. Fear can be a very useful emotion. It can prevent us from getting ourselves into bad situations. A healthy dose of fear is necessary in order to survive.
The truth is that we need both conservatives and liberals in order to have a healthy society. Without liberalism, nothing changes; without conservatism, nothing is preserved.
The only thing I fear is a total liberal country. and that's not gonna happen.
Some change is good. In small increments. People need time to adjust.
Who made this list and on what criteria did they rate countries?
Why don't you reread what I wrote to get your answer.
But don't bother.
I'm sure if the criteria didn't include how many sub machine guns you can own or how big their military is....so it wouldn't be that big a deal to you...lol
You're making my case. Instead of questioning your own beliefs, ( you don't have the brain wiring to do that) you just go with the some answer that reenforces your own ideology.
Scientists are untrustworthy, and issue fraudulent reports because they are not a part of your team or tribe. Not because you have any evidence to show that.
Uh, noooo. I'm making a wry joke about the 'coincidence' that scientists, who are supposed to be so overwhelmingly Democrat, did a study that shows democrats are smarter.
I'm wondering why there are more conservatives and libertarians in engineering related majors which are considerably harder to earn degrees (especially at the Ph. D. level) than liberal art related majors.

Liberals need a larger anterior cingulate cortex to deal with complex ideas and situations because they are incapable of grasping simple concepts and learning from experience.
Now about that "fear center"...
awareness
The amygdala acts to perform environmental surveilance and can trigger orienting responses as well as mediate the maintanance of attention if something of interest or importance were to appear.
self-determination
Bilateral destruction of the amygdala usually results in increased tameness, docility, and reduced aggressiveness in cats, monkeys and other animals.
learning from experience
The amygdalae also are involved in the modulation of memory consolidation. Following any learning event, the long-term memory for the event is not instantaneously formed. Rather, information regarding the event is slowly assimilated into long-term storage over time (the duration of long-term memory storage can be life-long), a process referred to as memory consolidation, until it reaches a relatively permanent state.
creativity
Research using Rorschach test blot 03 finds that the number of ‘‘unique responses’’ to this random figure links to larger sized amygdalae. The researchers note, "Since previous reports have indicated that unique responses were observed at higher frequency in the artistic population than in the nonartistic normal population, this positive correlation suggests that amygdalar enlargement in the normal population might be related to creative mental activity.
emotional stability
A 2003 study found that adult and adolescent bipolar patients tended to have considerably smaller amygdala volumes and somewhat smaller hippocampal volumes.
