Not exactly surprising, although I had considered myself a bit more economically permissive than it said.

NOTE: socially permissive for me is mostly out of necessity, as the alternative is much worse.

I STILL have major problems with the questions on the test. There is simply no way to answer many of them honestly.

For example, \"does something like natural selection explain why there are some homeless people\"

Yes, something like \"natural selection\" DOES explain why there are SOME homeless people. In the sense that some people are homeless because the are not capable of providing for themselves. It does NOT explain ALL of homelessness though. So if by explaining \"why there are some homeless people\" they meant \"why there are any homeless people at all\", then of course it doesn't apply. And how am I supposed to know which they meant?

(Ha! no debug bug!)

For example, \"does something like natural selection explain why there are some homeless people\"

That's absurd.

I think it's funny how they want you to know who's wife you wanna fraK. How dose that question me wanting my rights taken from me?

Hrm I would wager that a few people here on this forum would have considered me something different





P.S. stupid test by the way, very poorly phrased questions

not bad. flawed because there is no 'maybe' option.

Attractive spouse? isn't that rather subjective?

and it pins me as a democrat? ugh. something is definitely wrong here.

You sure it didn't say UnAmerican Cuda??

It was fixed.

The weird thing, though, is that when I posted mey result here while the bug was still active, it wasn't effected. But when I tried to edit it, what I added in my edit was affected! Weird.

Zuruck your confusing mine with yours, try not screwing it up again


heh, when you strongly disagree with everything your a Democrat

when you strongly agree with everything your a Totalitarian

At the other end of the economic spectrum, a highly regulated system might conserve the environment, establish national health care, and eliminate poverty. But as we've learned from the Soviet system, extreme regulation can also lead to stagnation, sameness, and unhappiness.

WOW did they just compare the Democratic party to Communist Russia?????

Score 1 to cuda for paying attention.

Appently I am:

Socially liberal (68% permissive)
Economically conservative (60% permissive)

I am best described as a libertarian.

I got best described as a Centrist.

I believe Zuruck was kidding, Cuda.

Social Liberal
(76% permissive)

Economic Liberal
(35% permissive)

You are best described as a:
Democrat

heh, it calls 35% "economicly liberal/permissive". i think it's grasping at straws with that definition - i'm more than 50% NON-economicly-permissive and it still calls me permissive, bah. What's a guy gotta do to be called a socialist huh?

no, that's prettymuch dead on what i thought you'd be.

Hey wait a sec... why am i an Economic Liberal and you an Economic Moderate if you are MORE ecconomically liberal than i am?

well looking at other score it would seem the higher your % the more conservative you are.

Ferno: Zuruck was attempting to take another Dig, doesnt matter tho

Cuda: I can recognize the difference between a joke and a dig. stop getting so wound up over it.

That's odd, because I consider myself a bit more Libertarian than that. However, I accept that libertarians will NEVER be elected.

The other odd thing is that I'm actually considering going into politics, possibly as a Member of Parliament, but I would be running as a conservative, and not a democrat. The National Party here, is the conservative side of things.

Weird.

Which country is this? Canada?

If so, in which riding will you be running?
