Been a few years since I posted this. Post your results.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

I originally was at the bottom left corner, with communism above (Left), and anarchism to the right (Libertarian). However, each time I take it, I'm closer and closer toward the middle and Left (but defnitely more left).

Anyway, here's a compass with the US primary candidates shown:

My boy Nader is right there with me. Word.

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

Edit: Fixed, thanks Sayckeone.

Sad to see most people in power are in the dick end of the spectrum, correlation, perhaphs?.

Not really surprising given my views although I figured I would be a little farther left on the economic scale.

There could be some interesting correlations between where you fall on the graph and your like/dislike for the listed composers. Lol probably not.

Here's what I got.

Seems I'm close to being Nelson Mandela.

Interesting test, although I found some of the questions to be biased and lacking depth

It looks like Obama is further right then I am. I don't know how I feel about that.

^I was afraid that my better half would be on the opposite end of the spectrum. <3 I should have known better though. I'm just filled with fear and doubt when your <3 is not near.

I figured this forum as a whole was quite left leaning, but some of you I'm actually surprised at how left leaning you are. VJ, for one. I figured you for quite a bit more conservative.

Fixed, thanks. Thought you thought I was pretty far right as well?

I am a bit more pragmatic IRL than the score would indicate. I think most of the questions are loaded, or ineffective, tho, and quite a few things are left out.

Also, their Famous leader thing seems to leave a lot of people out. Where's Castro!?.

^I actually wasn't sure about you. Sometimes the things you say seem very sarcastic, sometimes they seem genuine, so it was on the fence. When it comes down to it though, I'm not surprised by youy position on the compass. I'm only sad that I'm not the furthest one over. Crying or Very sad

And yeah, the test is really far from perfect (though, what political quiz/test is?), but it's still interesting and does have some accuracy.

As far as Castro, at one time, there was another diagram showing other political leaders, and he was on it. I don't know why it's gone now, and I can't remember where he was located.

We're pretty close, politically speaking, Saycke. IAWS. Wink

But I gotta agree with Tenbatsu. A lot of the questions seemed pretty biased and there were a few that, quite frankly, I couldn't give a shit about. Such as abortion, gay marriage, or pretty much any other "social issue" like that.

Sayckeone · Post Human Joined: 09 Nov 2007 Posts: 5840

^While you may not give a fuck about them, they still count and can be pretty indicative of your political stance. Just think if you were a neo-con or some shit. Those two sosial issues you mentioned would be a huge deal.

i was basically where Sack was, but like half a point to the right and half a point down

i think its interesting how no one here is even REMOTELY close to where our presidential candidates are, especially mccain.

its probably because we are in general a younger crowd, but i think it demonstrates how the country WANTS to be compared to what it actually is.

True, I didn't mean to make it sound like they shouldn't have been included on the survey. I just think there sould be a fifth "middle" option that would pretty much amount to not caring, like me. Because I'm sure those questions made me lean further to the left on the compass when in reality I couldn't care less whether abortion or gay marriage was legal or not.

Not sure is a fucking cop out. Pick a side.

Your niece gets raped and murdered. Do you want the guy fucking killed, or in prison for 5 years, only to get out and do it again to another child? I know if anyone fucking touched my nephews, if the system didn't kill him, I would. And he'll be fucking wishing to God that the system did before I got to him. Some people have no place in this world and need to be gotten rid of. I advocate capital punishment for the most heinous of crimes. Child rape/murder, serial murderers/rapists, illegals Mexicans, etc.

Futomimi · Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 6:46 pm Post subject:

But what if my niece were murdered because the rapist were afraid of getting caught by the system? After all, if she lived through it, she might be able to identify him, and if she went to the hospital for a kit, there would be DNA evidence against him. It would be much easier for him just to kill her and make sure that the body was never found... and I would, really, much rather my niece have the opportunity to live and have a chance to overcome what happened, rather than die in such a horrible way.

And, of course, there is always the possibility that the guy were caught, brought to trial with my niece as the primary witness, and the prosecution tries to build a case for capital punishment against him... and he gets off because of a stupid jury or a technicality. Then the guy knows the full name of my niece, my whole family, and a bunch of other private details that would be of great use to him. If he's in some ghetto ass gang, even worse.

Of course, I agree with you too. There are some crimes that deserve death and nothing less, but... I can't decide which scenario is worse. The guy that repeatedly does this horrible shit, or the innocent victim that loses his/her life because of a possibility within the justice system.

I get your point, but the way I see it, live or die, it's the action. Even if dude doesn't ultimately kill, he's just destroyed a child's life. Get rid of him.

Unless you're the father in Happiness. He's awesome.

^ I agree with Mimi. Noth only the justice system is heavily skewed towards the rich, denying a fair trial to the not quite so rich a lot of the time, creating the possibility that an innocent gets banhammered from life by mistake (which does happen); but there is also the faint hope thing.

If you know you are getting the chair for killing one person, then you might as well kill 20 and see if you can take a cop too, there is no higher punishment they can give you, so it's the same to you.

I think I saw a study that showed that death penalty places get more violent crime, and the violent crime is that much worse, than places without it. So if the purpose is a deterrent, it fails. If the purpose is justice, or retribution, it fails, too, by the above mentioned reasons.

I realized that Republican and Democratic politicians were in that area, I guess I have a problem with the image of conservatives having to fall on the authoritarian side of things. Not many of the conservatives I know or have met are like that.
