You've got the cures to everything, but cured people don't pay wages, and I almost fell off my chair when I realised they were actually serious.

BS, you could charge 1000 x to cure someone v Meds for life....

Gene therapy and stem cell research are going to open up a tons of cures, watch this space over the next 10-20 years curing diseases that wasn't  possible before will start to become more of a reality.

Of course, but people love a good old conspiracy theory, and a session with the tinfoil hat on Grin

I know a couple people in the US that have been for the stem cell treatment, with good results.

I don't fancy being a guinea pig for something that dangerous, and will wait until your mob have gotten it greenlit by the FDA.

I saw a very similar study that showed the exact opposite about a month ago.

Sounds like the Daily Mail have found a way to trick liberals into clicking on their stuff (Although I have a suspicion half their audience is angry liberals anyway wanting something to get mad at).

I don't really like clicking on anything that has the mail involved - but the summaries I've seen seem to suggest that the study was looking at liberal vs prejudiced rather than left vs right anyway (although obviously the summary could be misleading without seeing the data that was behind it).

'Right-wing' means 'prejudiced', doesn't it?

Maybe not on economic issues, but are there any social issues where the right-wing view is not based on prejudice or narrow-mindedness?

Right wing doesn't mean prejudiced, but it has taken on those connotations. Throughout history right and left wing was more about how much government control political parties felt there should be. Believe it or not, it was the right wing republican party in the US that ended slavery, and the Nazis were first considered a left leaning socialist party at the time.

In more recent years, left wing has been more about focussing on social inequality, so the logical conclusion for some seems to be to suggest therefore that right wing means the opposite. I must admit that when I think of the republicans today, and obviously UKIP, I do assume that this is where the most of the bigots are. However, you also see a lot if narrow mindedness and intolerance when you go to the extreme edges of the left (One example being how much free speech is being threatened in western left leaning academia in the name of political correctness).
