Take the POLITICAL SPECTRUM TEST

[Spasm]

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test mmmhmmm Here is me. I attached 2 other images for comparison.

"The chart also makes clear that, despite popular perceptions, the opposite of fascism is not communism but anarchism (ie liberal socialism), and that the opposite of communism ( i.e. an entirely state-planned economy) is neo-liberalism (i.e. extreme deregulated economy) "

It's a decent test, but should have had the option for don't care, or don't know.

I didn't bring up the health care debate topic, and this is not a debate really, I just wanted to see what the gaming community looked like on the spectrum and plus I thought it was interesting, considering it goes farther then left vs right. If you don't like it, don't post in it, don't go sending my thread into off-topic, K Thnx

I think that most people will fall below the center line while most politicians will be up higher. This is where people get the idea that while they supported their politician on some issues they feel a constant disconnect. This is also why the problem with our nation is not one of left and right but up and down.

Nice post, agreed. Your very close to Milton Friedman, economic advisor to President Ronald Regan.

That is becuase I agree with him on virtually everything. Although some of those questions were a bit strange. For example one was a statement that I disagreed with but the question was if it was true and that is the case however I was not sure what to select. Also some like the art one are poorly worded. Yes I think that art and writing are important but not in a way that they need to be supported by the state.

I would be interested to see where the founders lied on this. Actually I think I will try it with them in mind and see what I end up with.

Here is what I got trying to do the founders:

Yea me too, there was a couple I didn't know how to answer because it was poorly worded or I felt like it didn't belong, so I just guessed. Thats why I think their should have been a neutral option, so it didn't count either way.

Edit: Yea I figured the founders were far right wing, just based on the history I know. I woulda guessed a little more libertarian though.

[ZERO]

Actually they are even more right wing than most would think just becuase of their faith. Although popular culture tries to say that they founders where not religious there writings clearly show their relation to God. In addition the book that created this idea about them not being religious contained no sources and was simply the work of one scholar with no credibility in fact numerous books that actually had sources disproved it in the following year however starting in the early 1900s some in collages did not care and used this book to get us to today's popular misunderstandings.

Religion should never be included in politics. Sadly it is. No place for religion in political affairs. /end

The problem with that statement is morals should be in politics, and where do most people get their morals? Religion, however most people are unable to keep them separate so they just drag religion into it.

I have morals, but they never came from religion. They came from laws and things that my parents told me are wrong. Then you have the morals of abortion and homosexuality which have come directly from religious morals. I don't need a 60 year old ding bat telling me what to do with my vagina because according to him and the Bible abortion is a sin. Takes two to tango, and one decision to say "i don't want this devil child." I don't need that same ding bat to tell me I can't be with a woman because according to God it's suppose to be a man and a woman. Sorry, but morals come far from religion. People just use it as the excuse because it's the easy way to "gain" morals.

Slightly Libertarian. That sounds about right.

I said most peoples morals...

[OMGBEARS]

Yep. Seems about right. I would have placed me a bit closer to the line separating Authoritarian and Libertarian than this particular test did, but I think it's pretty spot-on.

Actually I believe that creating a government that allows people to make their own choices and exercise their own free will is the ultimate implementation of my religious ideology. I base this from the following:

God created man
God gave man free will
God will not interfere with free will

So free will > GOD > Humans

Therefore humans should not be messing with free will and therefore it would be against God to directly interfere in someones ability to act on his free will. Now logically we can not allow people so much free will that they are able to take this from others but I think it should be apparent where I am going.

Using this logic I have determined that the society that preserves maximum liberty and freedom is closest to what God wanted. Ergo by ensuring that people are able to obtain maximum liberty I am fulfilling Gods will.
