Not much of a debate thread, more of a know-you-better junk, and I am a little curious where most of you stand. Let's have some fun!

 

 

I. http://www.okcupid.com/politics

 

More fun, less accurate.

 

II. http://politicalcompass.jpagel.net/

 

Less fun, more accurate.

You are a

 

Social Liberal

and an...

 

Economic Conservative

You are best described as a:

 

Strong Democrat

 

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

 

 

II.

 

Your political compass

Hmm. Quite Obvious.

I'm lower left. (I've done those tests many times before, I don't feel like doing so again).

 

Of course, using the word 'accurate' for a two-axis graphic to measure your moral compass is by default grossly overstated.

Its political, not necessarily moral. Its also a better representation of political inclinations than discussing only left and right wing politics.

 

Also its interesting to take this test every now again. Ideals change, I think the biggest shift occurs during college.

Really? I'm going to go to college in a few months, but I feel that I've already had my shift.

 

I used to be a crazy obsessive communist. Now I'm just a crazy obsessive humanitarian. I don't care about the economic side.

I'm just crazy.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Do you understand the hidden yet oh so dazzlingly eye-popping comparative meaning behind the adverb "more"?

 

You see there's a certain relation between these two tests and I'm comparing them. The usage of the adverb "more" is relative to the comparison at hand. I know it's hard, but please, try reading my posts before offering your valuable and much cherished criticism.

 

 

We can still cyber though. I'm a very open-minded individual. And bickering is so last season.

 

Gee. I'm too poor for college. Guess I'll become a trucker. Or a toilet cleaner. Yeah. Life is one big eternal party and I'm the slobbering dork singing Guns'n'Roses tunes while eating a beagle and barfing on the ladies. Well. School's over. Hurray.

As you grow up there is a strong possibilty your views on any issue will change, I think its unrealistic to say otherwise. The thing about college is that usually a freshman - through meeting loads of new people - will be exposed to many new ideas and experiences that will no doubt shape his/her world view. Then again there is always the possibility that your college experience will only serve to refine and harden your current view.

Thanks Baley :p (Oh yeah thread pruned a bit ... this could be a fun thread, so let's try to avoid derailment before Monday ;) )

I suppose this is because of a difference in our educational systems. I've already met loads of new people over my school career. I've been part of five different class groups. In fact, when I started my last year of high school, I knew nobody in my classes.

 

I do really believe, though, that most of my shaping happened through the internet, specifically during my time working on the leftwing oriented news site The Noosepaper, which really put a lot of things into perspective for me.

I've had other tests give me that result too. o:)

Why I don't put much creedence in tests. o:)"

 

OKCupid's test:

The other test:

I know....let's just say I'm on the center vertical line in the approx. spot below the center horizontal line that both tests indicate and call it even. :p

 

2nd edit: I'm assuming the 2nd test puts me farther over to the left side because of some of the crime & social questions - they had more than Cupid's.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
