5 Reasons Why Nerds Are Liberal

1. No Syntax Cuts

Get the floating point?

Nerds have to be acute with definitions, just ask a programmer (although they might prefer that you email them). For a program to execute properly, variables in the code are first defined and thereafter can't function unless they're redefined from the very beginning. Words exercised in real life RL by The Right, like reverse racism and socialism, don't meet the standards of semantics or grammatical application (variable definitions) because the programmer in this case is reality, and unless you're name is Sam Beckett, reality just is.

So it's not likely that a nerd would misuse these terms or the similar fanatical amplitude to call out everyone who disagrees with them, a Nazi. Do note though, that while addressing Nerds wouldn't likely toss "Nazi" around like a rampant case of Aryan Tourette's, that doesn't mean nerds don't recognize that Nazis do in fact, exist: Grammar Nazis.

DING! This guy just leveled in reason.

2. WWND?

What would nerds do? In a table top game, like Dungeons and Dragons, determining that would depend on your character's alignment. What the attendees had in common at this years 2010 Comic Con was that just about everybody gained experience points XP for role playing their characters chaotic good.

Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church of the God Hates Fags movement, made an appearance to protest comic con for "worshiping false idols (pics)." Comic Con participants responded with a defense roll to crit; the counter-protest spilled with super heros, anime fan girls, Trekkies, kittens and Jedi. Alongside the comic book fans protesting Phelps and the Church, The Comics Alliance (pics and a video)  reports an interview from Jesus himself who said, in his  buddy-loving glory, "Fred's got issues."

Among the Comic Con picket signs were remarks like, God Loves Gay Robin, God Hates Jedi, All glory to the Hypno Toad, God needs a Starship, The Cylons destroyed 12 colonies for your sins and Odin is God: read The Mighty Thor #5. Even more pics (because you really can't see too many of these).

Epsilon!

3. Keeping The Tubes Noob-Free

Noobs inexperienced gamers generally don't like to be given information, they like orders. They complain, aren't willing to research what could aid them pass the stage or quest they're stuck with, and they don't respect that the information is probably on the web already. The forum they were linked to isn't ample enough for them to figure things out; even if it were, they probably didn't even bother to look at it.

Distributing information freely and creating internet accessibility to everyone is an attribute of the nerd character class. If it's just too awkward to thank that one guy in your office for the for the 72 gigs of porn Pron you have been pirating, then thank him for this - nerds are pro open source.

Flipping The Bird

Open source is like an android phone or Linux computer operating system. Android is the first mobile open source platform, accepting most applications  into the online market (unless your app one-click roots). There isn't a certification process like the iphone, which has it's own apple-created coding language (a language in itself based on Unix - what the Linux kernel is built on). With the iphone you're basically stuck with their applications along with digital restriction managers (DRM's) . That means that if you would like to use free software, created by developers who want you to share copy and modify their work, those programs would be restricted from uploading.

Pirating, linking, blogs and forums along with freeware, universal wi-fi and internet access give insight for android or Linux programmers-to-be while also flipping the digital bird to the proprietary pro-corporate world.
 

Disgustingly cute. Disgustingly true.

4.You Can Has Freedom   

Every website is equally searched and uploaded because of its content and not because someone paid to have it load faster, right?

Now that's changing and although smaller businesses and individuals can't afford to pay for the same amount of bandwidth as corporations are able to, the G.O-Tea Party have publicly come out against net neutrality."

What do nerds have to say about it? Well lets ask this guy: He likes net neutrality so much, he needs a cold shower after just thinking about it (sounds pretty nerdular to me. Just look at his guitar - "this machine pwns noobs." And he has shelf pron).

Without net neutrality it's as though you can buy your own dice pool for any roll because your character happened to find a massive bag of gold under a bugbear pit in the woods. A bag with a scent that alludes to droppings.

5. Just Gaygle It

Nerds don't really mind who's crossed over the rainbow (some might even be gay themselves - who woulda thunk?). And now we can say the pot of gold isn't a lie, either.

This cake, however, is a lie.

Google offered reimbursements to  same-sex couples after Google agreed that it wasn’t fair they were paying an estimated $1,069 more annually in federal taxes than traditional couples. They also put same-sex couples on par with traditional man-woman spouses when it comes to how much time they are allowed to take off from work for family or medical reasons.

What did fox think about it? Nerd advice #1: Google it. Let's see how the titles of this particular story compare to different news sources in this Google search:

"Google raises eyebrows with new gay-only employee benefit" - top 5 links

Publicizing that Google "raises eyebrows" infers a negative connotation that Google is being taboo and saying the benefit is "Gay only" completely ignores the big picture - that Gay couples pay more than traditional couples. Google specifically called it a reimbursement for that explicit reason. That's right, Fox, this post just went Gordon Freeman on your ass.
