i'm a Libertarian :gollum:

MrL_JaKiri · 2 Mar 2004, 20:13

Left-Liberal, apparantly.

60%, 0%

(Political, economic)

It still has the same problem of factual rather than opinion based questions, which affects all tests of this type.

queball · 2 Mar 2004, 20:14

According to your answers, your political philosophy is on the border of left-liberal and authoritarian.

\o/

pablissimo · 2 Mar 2004, 20:14

Also left liberal. 90%, 30%, in whatever order it gave them.

Dante Hicks · 2 Mar 2004, 20:15

Libertarian.

Although the bit about the minimum wage causing unemployment sounds rubbish so I voted no to that, and the end user fee doesn't make any sense to me so I left it in the middle.

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 100%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 60%.

edit : This test is particularly biased, rather unexpectedly given the source.

LHC · 2 Mar 2004, 20:21

Libertarian 100/80 but I answered maybe for two of the second lot of questions.

Deffeh · 2 Mar 2004, 20:23

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 50%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 40%.

Centrist.

MrL_JaKiri · 2 Mar 2004, 20:25

I answered yes or no for all of them, although the only truthful answer is 'Maybe', because all the answers depend on the social conditions at the point where you would implement them.

Deepflow · 2 Mar 2004, 20:25

libertarian (100% 100%)... but then i knew that anyway, whats the point of this quiz again?

By answering "Yes" to the end drug laws one, the police are coming round to give you a kicking you junkie.

Phang · 2 Mar 2004, 20:30

100/0

Structural Integrity · 2 Mar 2004, 20:33

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 60%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 60%

Centrist, but a tad towards Libertarian.
If I only knew what that meant.

queball · 2 Mar 2004, 20:35

They should put a sign up saying "Americans only".

Nodrog · 2 Mar 2004, 20:35

100% 90% but the test is oversimplified and a bit silly. In particular:

"People 'should' be allowed to live wherever they like". Should is a pretty horrible word - obviously they 'should' be able to, but there are pragmatic factors as well, which depend on the system as a whole.

"End taxes. Pay for services with user fees". This is a rather binary statement. A yes vote here could be taken as being an endorsement of anarcho-capitalism just as much as an endoresement of libertarianism.

And I don't see what foreign policy has to do with anything.

The first part just skimmed the surface. What about medicine and science. Gay Marriage :-/ and the like.

Foriegn policy is important because im not going to have som dim-witted democrat stick his finger up his ass, getting a b/j from one of his interns while a terrorist group is plotting our distruction.

1. The political difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is tiny.

2. I didn't see Bush doing much to stop the attack on the world trade centre, even though (supposedly) he knew about it.

3. I'd prefer someone to do nothing that actively cause the problem.

you gotta be shitting me. really.

Their difference include

Gay rights
Economy (as far as flow goes) Rep. Top to bottom $ flow, Dem. Bottum only.
Welfare
Foreign affairs
ect ect.... those are just the big ones.

Tactitus · 2 Mar 2004, 21:26

Libertarian (100/100). Some oversimplifications, but given the format (World's smallest political quiz) I guess that's to be expected. Better a short vague test than a long vague test.

30% self

80% economic

The Eco seems right but not self. This test is far to small and clearly is not unbias since its made by a liberterian group.

For example, if they had asked about gun control my self proably would have gone up.

We use percision guided bombs to kill terrorist who are only a few meters away from muslem temples. I'd hardly say thats heavy handed.

In addition, if we control the middle easy, (or atleast have an extreame amount of influence in what is heard/seen/and being educated by nations, then we will have a better chance of educateing muslims who havent decided rather to except freedom or terrorism, into excepting freedom.

It's a fairly widely known supposition, and Hey? What's that? Suppositions by their very definition don't need evidence? Freeeeow!

The enormous number of civilian casualties would like a word with you.

Or at least they would if they hadn't been killed by american weaponry.

If by 'controlling the middle east', you mean 'controlling the capital city through immense military presence, whilst the rest of the country is run by the warlords, in the style of more than a century ago', you'd be bang on.

The BBC overstates civilian causulties. Id suggest nbc for better news..along with CNN. The BBC also no not follow generally accepted guidelines for what to show/not show on TV....

Supposition. Conspiracy theories are also suppositions. It doenst mean they are true :-/.

Define enormous--comparing and contrasting with previous armed conflicts. If your definition is that even 1 is too many then nevermind.

There have been suggestions from people involved (as it were), so it's not quite on the same level as 'They faked the moon landings!'

The moon landings are fake, I saw William Shatner's stunt doubles coffee mug in the frame.

About 10,000 (By May of last year, there were over a thousand known civilian deaths and nearly a thousand more suspected in Baghdad alone. Add in another 8,000 wounded in the capital, too). Considering the scale of the war, it's pretty huge.

The tory party is more central now, so I don't see how you can particularly argue.
