He's far to the side of Libertarian and balanced between the left and right.

I will never get tired of posting this score. I am not sure it would be exactly the same if I took it today though; it might be only at around -9, -9.

Not really what I would have predicted.

[Jiro]

I always get random ass scores because I'm too stupid to understand the questions. All I remember is that I was around Ghandi.

Im pretty neutral

[blackmage_nuke]

The death penalty should be an option for the most serious crimes. Is this asking me if the death penalty should be applied to lighter crimes or if the death penalty should not be appiled to even the most serious of crimes?

Though some of the questions i didnt understand at all

[Hollycat]

first time I took the test I was nearly exactly in the middle, I just don't understand the questions

The death penalty should be an option for the most serious crimes. Is this asking me if the death penalty should be applied to lighter crimes or if the death penalty should not be appiled to even the most serious of crimes?I've always assumed it's asking if the death penalty should be applied to the most serious crimes, by which I'm assuming they mean things like rape and murder, or whether it should not be applied at all. If they were asking whether it would be applicable to less serious crimes I would assume the word "only" would be included. Also strongly disagreeing with the statement increases your libertarian score, which means it's probably asking whether it should be abolished.

And yeah, some of the questions are phrased pretty damn vaguely. The fact that they could be interpreted in a number of ways is probably part of the reason my score has varied so much over the years; how I interpret them seems fairly dependent upon my mood.

[chionos]

I'm the only non-libertarian. How lovely. And PGs the only non-communist.

[Peegee]

I bleeping hate communism, only because I can't trust a government to not be selfish.

even Canada's government. Dirty corrupt and overfed.

[Hollycat]

what about sealands government.

[The Man]

I bleeping hate communism, only because I can't trust a government to not be selfish.That's the exact reason I'm basically an anarchist. Well, one of many.

From over a year ago but severely cba to take the damn thing again, and I don't think I've changed that much since.

[fire_of_avalon]

The one thing that bothers me about the test is that some items listed are actual facts, not perspectives. Example:

A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.
Yeah, a one-party state does avoid conflict and debate found in a democratic or multiparty system. Because it's a one-party system. That doesn't mean I agree that the idea of a one-party state is a good thing, that I agree with it or anything like that. So how do I answer that question?

EDIT: Also

I used to hang out right with Gandhi. Now I'm a bit more liberal and a bit more Libertarian. Huh.

That part of it is a fact, yes, but whether it should be regarded as an advantage is up to personal opinion. If you don't think the outcomes of the lack of conflict and debate in a political system would be likely to be benign, then you'd disagree or strongly disagree with the statement. (I've strongly disagreed every time I've taken the test for the last several years, for the record).

Pffft, now I'll show you hippies how it's done.

To add:
the 'question' was whether you agreed that it's an ADVANTAGE, not CONSEQUENCE of a one-party system. Whenever people say 'one-party-system' I think Dictator.

"Our race has superior qualities..." - Ahahaha! Must. Not. Troll.

Also, the enemy of my enemy is my smurfing ALLY, YOU :bou::bou::bou::bou:S.

"All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind." - Am I in smurfing Dragon Age? xD

"Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers." - Get back in the kitchen, whore.

"Astrology accurately explains many things." - What the smurfing smurf?! Firstly: smurf this question. Astrology is bulltit: don't be a moron. Secondly: what does this have to do with political views? I assume "Agree" would make me liberal? Brilliant. Liberal = :bou::bou::bou::bou: for this quiz. smurf.

"Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral." - FOR smurf'S SAKE. What the titting hell does "usually" mean in this context? And how the smurf can there be any answer other than yes or no? "Quadrangles have four angles. Strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree, or TWAT?"

Obviously this was going to be utter useless wank essence, but I didn't expect it to be just so smurfing... :bou::bou::bou::bou:. I want to find everyone responsible for this and punch them in the dick or tits for weeks. Without sleep or rest. smurfing hell...

Secondly: what does this have to do with political views? I assume "Agree" would make me liberal? Brilliant. Liberal = :bou::bou::bou::bou: for this quiz. smurf.From the FAQ:


More significant for our purposes is whether or not the individual believes in mystical determinants of fate, hence the astrology proposition. There is a psychological linkage between determinism and authoritarianism. The astrology believer may hold very liberal social views in other areas, but this does not alter this more authoritarian aspect within his or her cluster of attitudes.

Why the hell is Raistlin a right winged libertarian! I demand to know your answers!

"Right-winged" libertarian is redundant. I support a government that protects individual freedom and voluntary interaction as much as reasonably possible. Government interference in the social or economic sphere should be considered a last resort.

Obviously your southern accent and adorable colloquialisms mesmerize me. You dirty hippy.

[The Man]

Why the hell is Raistlin a right winged libertarian! I demand to know your answers!

"Right-winged" libertarian is redundant.The word "libertarian" was actually invented by French anarchists after the French government banned anarchist publications. It is only since the 1960s that the term "libertarian" has acquired an association with right-wing economic philosophies. Historically, the term was more frequently associated with left-wing economic philosophies before then, and it is perfectly possible for a governmentless society to be based around a left-wing economic philosophy - Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War is one excellent historical example, although it wasn't a perfect society.

[Raistlin]

If it was a governmentless society, and so the "left-wing economic philosophies" were presumably only enforced by voluntary interaction and other social pressures, then it would not be inconsistent with my economically more "right-winged" libertarianism.

[The Man]

That's basically how things were, yes. And cool :monster:

[Mirage]

Not gonna take the test again, but last time i ended up a bit closer to libertarian than to 0 on the vertical axis, and more or less right in the middle on the horizontal axis. I suspect that I would end up a bit further to the right today.

[Tigmafuzz]

I'm in the same area as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama. Yay?
