[Musicman408]

Really simple quiz. Where do you stand?
http://www.gotoquiz.com/conservative_or_liberal

[TrueFaith77]

You scored 55% which means you are
55%moderately conservative. You believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values.

[Musicman408]

I scored a 79%. I used to identify as a Democrat, and I did vote for Obama twice (had no idea what Romney wanted to do with anything), but I do believe I am a Republican. I've been debating with this the last six or so months.

[TrueFaith77]

I'm a monarchist.

[louielouie2000]

Apparently I'm a Hardcore Liberal at 5%. I can't say I agree with that... I'm way more moderate than many liberals I've come across over the years. :shrug:

[Fireflies]

that test is ****. :lol:

a better example:

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

[Musicman408]

Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28

[TrueFaith77]

Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.28

What's the scale though? You are more authoritarian than libertarian and more socialist than capitalist? If i read that clearly?

I tried taking that quiz but it was too complicated! That's why I'm a monarchist. I ain't got time to be thinking about inflation!

[Musicman408]

Well I was easily able to answer ever question, but I don't understand the scale. It's not based on the American political system, which could be causing the confusion.

My basic belief in life: If you want it, get off you *ss and go work for it!!:nod:

[BombaySapphire3]

I scored a zero...a hardcore Liberal...sheesh and I thought I had become more moderate in my old age.:shrug:

Not to pry, but what was your answer to the inflation question? Or how did you approach it?

[TerraRhiannon]

I scored 13% 'a hardcore liberal. You believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good.'

I agree with this mostly. Sounds like me in a nutshell!

[KarmaContestant]

No quiz necessary. I'm a Socialist. Plain and simple, tax revenue and planetary resources should be used for the benefit of all humanity and not the selfish greed of a few. We all live here and this world belongs to every one of us. It's our only home.

Declaration of the Four Sacred Things

The Earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.

Whether we see them as the breath, energy, blood, and the body of the Mother, or as blessed gifts of a creator, or as symbols of the interconnected systems that sustain life, we know that nothing can live without them.

To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value beyond their usefulness for human ends, that they themselves become the standards by which our acts, our economics, our laws, and our purposes must be judged. No one has the right to appropriate them or profit from them at the expense of others. Any government that fails to protect them forfeits its legitimacy.

All people, all living beings, are part of the earth life, and so are sacred. No one of us stands higher or lower than any other. Only justice can assure balance: only ecological balance can sustain freedom. Only in freedom can that fifth sacred thing we call spirit flourish in its full diversity.

To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustinance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. To honor the sacred is to make love possible.

Something else I wanted to add - The Founding Fathers feared this whole two-party system of ours. They would be mortified at our division into 'liberal' and 'conservative' groups. From our second President, John Adams:

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. "

He was right. And it happened. One might argue: it wasw inevitable. That's why I'm a monarchist.

[KarmaContestant]

I was thinking about this earlier today as I walked to get some lunch. Could we even have a functioning political system without political parties?

It's normal for like-minded people to group together and support each other...so it does seem inevitable that we ended up with political parties, but I think we could do better within the confines of a two-party system if we eliminated the actual parties and their leadership hierarchy.

[Musicman408]

OK, being a monarchist is not a smart idea.

Though we think we're divided now, we are not as divided now as we have been in the past. It all started with the debate of the creation of a national bank. Peaking with the subject of slavery. We are not as divided now as we were then. However, media presence magnifies the differences there are.

As for inflation - if you work to keep it to a minimum, companies then have more money to hire new workers, THUS lowering unemployment.

[KarmaContestant]

However, media presence magnifies the differences there are.


This is very true. I have found that more often than not, when I engage in polite political discourse with someone who I have differences with, we often find that we agree on far more than we expected to.

I am not surprised at all by my results! :thumbsup:

[estranged4life]

"You scored 67% which means you are moderately conservative. You believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values."

I laugh at my result...:D

[markolas]

The founders didn't like it, but the formation of political parties happened very early on in U. S. history (by early on, I mean by the time of the 2nd presidential election). The two-party system was an inevitability simply because of the way our elections work - namely, they're decided based on a plurality of the vote rather than a majority. And at this point, they are so ingrained into the electoral college system itself, that it's basically impossible to change.

It's not bad in and of itself, but it's devolved to the point that the legislative branch of the U. S. government is completely broken. Not only do the elected officials comprising it have no interest in fixing it, they personally benefit by its not working.

[WildHearted]

Apparently I'm a Hardcore Liberal at 5%. I can't say I agree with that... I'm way more moderate than many liberals I've come across over the years. :shrug:

I got the same, and was shocked. I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore at alll. In fact, I was expecting it to say I was straddling the line b/t liberal and conservative or something. Weird.

[SummerlongBoots]

Guess I'm a "Hardcore Liberal" @ 7% :wavey:

Not liking the term hardcore however. I'm more of a softie, lol.

[Musicman408]

One of the truest statements - something to consider:

"I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born".

[GypsySorcerer]

0% - hardcore liberal.

I must say the author's grammar in that quiz is horrid! I almost quit in protest.

[HejiraNYC]

One of the truest statements - something to consider:

"I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born".

...and the vast majority of people voting on the individual rights of women consists of men. So what is your point exactly?

[Musicman408]

...and the vast majority of people voting on the individual rights of women consists of men. So what is your point exactly?

I'm not saying I agree with it. I just came across it and it kind of struck a nerve.

[I'msoAfraid95]

You scored 52% which means you are*52%moderately conservative. You believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values.


I figured that I would be almost right down the middle.

[TrueFaith77]

...and the vast majority of people voting on the individual rights of women consists of men. So what is your point exactly?

Excellent point. It is true that men benefit greatly from the abortion-law status quo. Well, to Musicman's point: living heterosexual men benefit.

[I'msoAfraid95]

I don't follow you. What did I say?

[streetangel27]

Accurate :cool:

[TrueFaith77]

I meant musicman. :sorry:

[I'msoAfraid95]

My views:
I support abortion in certain circumstances, when tyhe mom's life is in danger or the fetus couldn't survive ob it's on. I believe in adoption because I put my son up for open adoption.

I am for the death penalty, though it depends on the evidence, the number of murders committed, or if any other crimes where committed.

I don't believe in big government. The Government needs to stay out of it's citizens personal lives. ( Bloomberg I'm talking about you)

Even though I am a Christian, I believe in separation of church and government. Not everyone adheres to Christian values, so that would make the government oike the Taliban because they are forcing religion down their people's throats.

I am for food stamps and the like. Sometimes we need to help our neighbors because they've hit bottom.

[madeline]

I scored a 0%. Which doesn't surprise me. I am a hardcore liberal and it has served me well. Not to mention the fact if I haven't changed in the last 30 years, it's highly unlikely that I ever will.

[Chris_Lover]

Even if I'm not American, I studied some US laws because some day I'd like to live and work in the US, so I want to know what's happening there. I had no doubt my score would have been:

You scored 23% which means you are

liberal. You believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good.

(My answers were: 1)3 - 2)2 - 3)1 - 4)1 - 5)1 - 6)2 - 7)3 - 8)3 - 9)3 - 10)4 - 11)4 - 12)1 )

[Macfanforever]

I really dont like to discuss politics and religion on a music forums because they are hot topics that could flare up.

Anyway I scored 50 percent which I figure it would be.

You mean... fun/engaging discussion? ;) I kid! I kid! (sort of)


that test is ****. :lol:

I'm inclined to agree. But I took it anyway, just for a bit of fun. Turns out I'm apparently a hardcore liberal, which I think anyone outside of the USA who knows me would find absolutely laughable.

On the political compass I got -4.00, to the left economically. And -6.21 to Libertarian. Libertarian is never a label I'd have given with myself, so that's interesting.

[Chris_Lover]

Well, this test was better than the other one, even if there were some silly and sexist questions..:p It looks like my profile is the same as the one of Gandhi:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10
http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-6.00&soc=-4.10

[ejb1969]

Not surprised... 50%

I'll remember that, Chris_Lover! It's always handy to have a resident Gandhi around. Next time I require social justice, I shall know who to call. ;)

Yes I probably can handle fun discussions LOL but I dont want to stir up a hornets nest with my big mouth.The mess going on with politics lately makes my blood boil which thats probably most of us here feel the same way.

Anytime, Dex! ;):p

[Macfanforever]

I probably will be middle of the road if I was elected for Mayor in town.That will never happen.

Our mayor has been in office since Stevie's Wildheart album was released. Everybody love him and he is the same age of Stevie and he probably will stay as mayor forever since nobody cant run against him.

[sasja]

Hard-core liberal and proud of it. I believe we have our turn here on earth to care :D

[tilthefirefades]

I scored 0% which doesn't really surprise me. Being an army brat raised by the manager of the local "food stamp office" and my own experiences, I seem to just keep becoming more and more progressive :shrug:

[KarmaContestant]

I believe we have our turn here on earth to care :D

What a beautiful thing to say. I wish more felt this way. :nod:

There's far too much of the "me" in this world and not nearly enough of the "we".
