Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, October 30, 2009

People with a certain gene variant performed more than 30 percent worse on a driving test than people without it, according to a study published recently in the journal Cerebral Cortex. "These people make more errors from the get-go, and they forget more of what they learned," said researcher Steven Cramer.

I can believe it. There are so many people who take idiotic risks for no reasons that I can't wait for automated driving. I'd really enjoy being a cop.. too much.

I tink I am beginning to see thru more and more of American bullshit.

Just say, "I tink I'm beginnin' ta see tru more n' more a tat American boollshite" and tell 'em yer postin' from Oireland. (The game's up, though, with the tip-off that you aren't actually posting from there since you didn't insert "feck" at least six times in that fourteen-word sentence.)

From Doc to Fresno... "hey, there's your man down there."

The jig is up.

Hagbard -

Lost count of how many times I've heard some variation on this theme on the Emerald Isle:

He/She (with a nod of the head): There he is.
Me: There who is.
He/She (muttered): Yer mahn.
Me: My man?
He/She: Yeah, so, yer mahn.
Me: And who's that?
He/She (exasperated): Ya know, ya do. Yer mahn.

6 posts and no Asian driver jokes yet? What's wong with you people?

That's some pretty funny shit there Doc.

I suspect that gene variant somehow also causes them to have a desire to be taxi cab drivers.

I wouldn't be surprised if rigid dem and repub, right wing and left wing thought processes were also a gene variant.

It is.

Let's pray they will soon be able to find and isolate the bad genes that cause the easily brain-washing and dumbing down of American voters???

I suspect that gene variant somehow also causes them to move to Florida.

OK Zombie, on the eve of your special day, here's one:

Q...How can you tell that the Chinese have started to move into your neighborhood?

A...The Mexicans start buying car insurance.

Manypaths,

We here in Florida can only be thankful there is a South Carolina for the really bad ones to get lost in before making it this far south. I drove through there a few weeks ago and they make even Miami drives lood sane.

Note the South Carolina: Spend some of that stimulus money to FIX YOUR DAMNED ROADS!!! I though I was driving in some third world country coming down Interstates 285 and 26. Worst damned road I've seen in years.

Therapies are being developed for all kind of gene variances-- the next potential gene splicing, therapy, etc. ethics issue would be if government would have the right (depending on who's in power) to call in the libs or conservatives in order to perform a little therapy. Let's say we have a conservative and they would call in Danni, letusprey, timex etal. and do therapy--- instead of a national conservative/liberal ratio of 40%-20% you could eventually have a ratio of 60%-0%.

I see racism is allowed as long as it isn't against blacks.

So... Laura Bush is trotting out this old canard again.

Ooooh have we offended the poor widdo Chairpoodle?

You are so sensitive.

Makes me wonder why we allow you to exist.

Why would you equate my pointing out your hypocrisy with being offended, stupid?
Do you always make such stupid associations you old codger?

So I can just blame it on the genes, huh?

i have BDG syndrome can i get a government?


Study: Bad Driving is Genetic

Auto insurance companies will use this study to justify jacking your rates based on your relative's driving records. Not long afterward health insurance companies will use it to deny coverage to the relatives of those who get into serious car accidents. It's what their stockholders would expect them to do and it would be their fiduciary obligation to do so.

As they expand research into this gene variant, I bet they will also find that it makes people want to buy Volvos.

Struggling Volvo is being bought out by Chinese car maker, Geely Motors.

Bad driving can be attributed to lack of operator responsibility..,of course if both your parents are mentally challenged that may be a contributing factor.

Study: Bad Driving is Genetic..

It ususlly involves a vagina or slanty eyes.

I can believe it. There are so many people who take idiotic risks for no reasons that I can't wait for automated driving.

I'm still waiting for my jet pack.

Bad driving has been passed down from mother to daughter for quite some time now.
