to increase activity 2 (political compass again)
http://www.politicalcompass.org/
It's been a while... the questions are still terrible, but we can point and laugh at anyone with positive results.
And so that you can more accurately compare this result with older ones, some idiot went through all the available old threads and compiled the following lists...
Code:

Some of the questions seem to get stupider every time I take this thing (the 'art' one in particular irritates me; hurr conservatives hate new things amirite).

Yeah, as I complain each and every time some of these questions seem to be looking at symptoms of being left/right/whatever. Even the stuff about whether our race (?) has superior qualities doesn't really correspond to the end categories they use (you could say more racist = more collectivist I suppose, although I suspect they assume the opposite). In fact, the entire first page of questions (except Q1) are pretty inconclusive about whether was someone left/right or authoritarian/libertarian.
Having said all of that...
Economic Left/Right: -8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.67
I'm becoming more right wing!

Re: to increase activity 2 (political compass again)
My progress through the years
economic/social
4.88, 2.77
2.88, 0.26
5.13, -2.41
and it seems the trend continues with me now at
5.25, -3.03
The closest person to me seems to be Friedman though even he is a bit away.

As in the past I couldn't really answer a lot of the questions, so some of my responses were essentially random. :/

My race has ****ing tons of superior qualities. It's strenuous and exciting and a bit original and has some funky features you don't see in other races.
My race is the 3000m steeplechase.

Well, it wasn't even clear what they meant by race. Humanity? Caucasians? Anglo-Celt-Kyke hybrids?
I couldn't think of "many" traits where "we" are superior so I said disagree. But yeah, the question is pretty stupid but still probably better than the one about art or the stuff about luck.

Wasn't it saying mostly superior, not just superior in some things?

Re: to increase activity 2 (political compass again)
Economic Left/Right: -3.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.87
I've come a tiny bit more in the centre from when I last did it. Probably because a few of my views have changed since living in Japan. For example, I'd *never* catch myself saying this a year ago, but people born into English speaking countries are at an advantage to those that don't. A year ago, I'd have said 'Yeah man we are all born equal....'

Those two statements aren't necessarily contradictory.

Re: to increase activity 2 (political compass again)
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00
This was due to me answering questions based stricly on my ideology, and not just follow the communist agenda and accept a state as some of the questions wants me too
(like, im against corporations but even more against laws)
The other times i've taken this query i've answered out of the assumtion that there is a state, and its not going away. Now I took a better approach, but i've become more leftist and more sure about that in the "real" world.

The test is about finding out whether you're a dumb conservative or a dumb liberal.

It's not a racism issue.

Race is a social phenomenom. Someone is considered black in the US when the only undeniably black person in their family was their grandfather (everyone else as pale as a ghost), and in Brazil if you've have even a bit of 'white' ancestry in you, you're considered white. It's not based wholly on clear physical traits. Some people (including very dark skinned people), and even entire groups of people (like Italians in America have) can even change races in their lifetime and beconsidered white and the reverse is also true. Here's a another great example: The South African arpatheid government made Japanese 'honorary whites'.
How the hell would you even begin to classify the people of New Orleans into destinct races. They have 'black' indians - slaves who escaped and lived with Native Americans, french people of all sorts of skin tones, caribian islanders who are both of African and Caribean indian descent put into the area by the French King, French Canadians (Cajuns is short for Acadians from Nova Scotia), a slew of other types of Europeans, Filipinos who settled there in the late 1500's, and they've all lived there for hundreds of years, interbreeding.
As such it follows that the attribution of who fits in what race varies from person to person, is highly arbitrary and so attributing qualities, and making judgmental values probably based on non scientific assumptions and stereotypes permeated in the media lead me declare your comment null and void. If you were being sarcastic , excuse me.

That doesn't really affect the question though, even if you take this view. The question doesn't ask you if the qualities are objective or not - or ask what conception of race you're using. And besides, as I mention earlier you could always interpret it as a remark on the human race (especially since they say 'our' race).
