Okay, apparently I am a Left leaning Libertarian...(close to the Dali Lama):D ...some of these questions could have a maybe as an answer, but unfortunately it's either yes/no.....
Be Honest you guy's/gals...let's see where you fit in.... ;)

Thanks for your response to my PM Dalek. I think you're right, according to my answers on their chart I probably am:
But as you pointed out, some of the questions didn't really lend themselves to a yes/no scenario. I would consider myself right wing socially and toward the center economically.Quote:
I would say Left Libertarian for economics and almost center on the Authoritarian?
But then again, I hold to somewhat "nuanced" views.
1) I feel I am loyal to my country; but my loyalty to God trumps my patriotism.
2) I think corporations should be free to make money; but they do need some limits, especially where the environment is concerned.
I have some other "nuanced views," but I will hold them in check for this thread, unless someone else touches on them.
I think it was the "POT" question ;)

There was a Pot question? :eek: I'll have to redo mine.... :pQuote:

Honestly though, on many of the questions, the choices weren't nuanced enough. I would have at least like to have seen an 'indifferent' choice :) Hmm...maybe should retake it and leave em blank...wonder if the effect would be the same?
I find that site fascinating. Not just for the gauge but the perspective that proves some of my own theories. One being an argument the other day. Libertarianism and authoritism cannot co-exist. You cannot have the state control everything except 1 or 2 issues and say your libertarian. And both liberals and conservatives who suddenly call themselves libertarian for 1 or 2 views are full of ghandi poo. They are either drug users or militia. Both probably fall north to fascists.
I didn't record my score but it's -2 something and -2 something. Just to the right of Gandhi. Although some of the questions were horrible. Obviously gauged to force a direction.
//Edit and I agree with that, if I was religious I would be Buddha or live in the mystical Shangri La where moderation is key.
my result put me with Mugabe :eek:
I always thought of myself as slighty to the right of Atilla the Hun
maybe go back and say pot is good :D
lol...change dealers.... :DQuote:
It's rigged.
Apparently, I'm Hitler.

who needs dealers...just go to your local Home Depot store and buy a vanity :eek:Quote:

Very close to the Dalai Lama. Not a big shock.
Was a little skewed, IMO. The more liberal you are the closer you are to "good" people, the more conservative, the closer to "bad" people. I don't neccesarily find that to be true, being liberal or conservative doesn't equal good or bad.
To the person (sorry didn't want to scroll that far back) who want to leave some blank: You can't. I tried to leave one blank because I didn't know enough to answer it very accurately, and it wouldn't continue until I picked an answer.
ROFL...that's great, now they are using Home Depot to transport their drugs...cute :DQuote:

Its is true it is not nuanced enought but it is fun in any case. I though I would be more right on economic still i'm down there with mandela, Ghandi and the dali lama so cant complain.

I'm pretty much where I thought I'd be, although alittle less Liberal than expected. Seems like I'm a semi-greedy capitalist pig with a sense of social freedom. I can live with that :p

Im not quite sure who im closer too Gandi :) or Stalin? :)
Hmmmm, -4.38/-0.62
I guess that some of the questions are a little bit loaded. After all, you may believe in control of big business in order to protect your investments, pension fund and the like?
Ask an Enron stockholder :D
Also I believe in the legalisation of pot because it is a valid pharmaceutical!
IMO pot should be legalized because if it was the govt. could control it,tax it and make money off it. Then they could fight the "hard drugs" I may be wrong ( I dont smoke) but I believe its impossible to drive from an overdose of weed. You can die from causes of smoking weed... car crash etc... but I think its impossible to die from weed alone unlike cocaine,heroin etc...

Wow I'm Libertarian like I found out years ago when I took a similar test here:
http://www.lp.org
Libertarian: Legalize it. :)
A lot of people in my area, think Libertarian means Liberal. Like they think it's the same. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican.
Have we EVER had a Libertarian President? I don't think we have but I'm not sure. The reason I don't think we have is because, well, pot = jail.
EDIT:
It was sort of hard for me to answer a few of these questions, and the way a few were worded I had to sort of guess at how I felt because I really wasn't sure. So anyway, the lp.org test is much easier and shorter, and said, as I agreed, I'm 100% Libertarian.
Legalize it...regulate it...tax it....take the money away from crimminals.....focus on other drugs.
Nihil...it the pharmacutical companies that dont want it legal......cause you can "grow your own"...and you dont have to buy it from them....and they will lose revenues when people realize that smoking pot does the same thing prozac etc does :rolleyes:
Coupla years ago I had a buddy die of lung cancer...never smoked a day in his life....
when going through chemo....he ate green cookies......
My brother is going through chemo right now....and it is really hard to see a 6 foot 230 lb man....getting so sick...not from the Hep c...but from the treatment.
He smokes pot to help his appetite....it calms his stomach...and makes him hungry
overall...makes him feel better.....thats gotta help with the treatment.

You know, people with Cancer can end up dead, I don't get it why anyone would deny them ANYTHING... Regaurdless of legality. If I get Cancer before I quit and smoking or eating brownies helps me out, I'm doing it.
People with Cancer can get doped to the gills if they want. Sure it might not be pot but there is not much of a restriction on all the pain killers you want.
