Going green makes you mean!

Ethical consumers less likely to be kind and more likely to lie, cheat and steal..

The mean greens..

Not sure about this, but quite funny..

^^^ I bet a lot of studys do that. You could probably prove that greenies are more likely to paint their &rse blue on a Sunday than everyone else if you know how, and as individuals we choose what to believe and what not to largely dependiong on what we WANT to believe. That's just my opinion...

Gore is the worlds leading faux greenie though isn't he.

Odd that the Guardian should report on this, as it's a left/liberal paper. I would expect to see something like this in our Daily Mail newspaper, which in the UK is like the Infowars of tabloid newspapers.

New study shows most people are holes.

Well, I think we can take that as scientific fact then. I can smell that Nobel Prize coming our way.

and smoking weed makes you violent...

I think you can make a good case for Gore being a faux green.  I still haven't gotten over of his killing of Current TV...

And his wife, Tipsy doing the whole PMRC thing...

Having said that, he would have been a much better president than W.  We'd still have a lot of bones to pick with him, but I don't think he would have let us get attacked on 911.

Questions about the validity of the study's methods aside, I am not surprised to see that conclusion. Other studies have found, for example, that exercising self-restraint leads to pervasive anger. There was another funny study that found Prius drivers are a****les. And let's not forget the manipulable effects of the expectation of reciprocity. I can think of a dozen reasons I'd expect this outcome regardless of methods.

"Ethical consumers less likely to be kind and more likely to lie, cheat and steal " Yes because usually they are richer people. And a recent study found a correlation between wealth and those three behaviors you mentioned.
