Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33


I didn't have much of an opinion on most of the questions... Mostly because I have a live and let die additude about a lot of things... It asks you to be judgemental about things I honestly don't think should be judged... So tended to weakly protest the question itself...

eh... I hate this test... it's a huge crock... you'd need at least four other graphs to give you a decent idea of what anyone thought...

Hehehehe...... <_<

[Lt_Omega]

I see a lot of -4/economic leftists here.

Anyone care to analyze or comment on that (I'm outta brain carbs right now or I'd probably come up with something about that :P)

[Karmashock]

EMBRACE YOUR TRUE SELF.
I answered the questions honestly... they just weren't very good questions... too loaded... too conventional...

[laserflip]

one question sums up my political beliefs in its entirety though. i will tell you which number, but i put STRONGLY AGREE and thats pretty much 100% of my political beliefs in that one question.

edit: here it is

"Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism."

thats so fucking true.

[Karmashock]

I said strongly agree on that one...

[Wicksy]

"Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism."
I disagreed with that one. You can't fight vicious cowards who hide amongst innocents and use your own "human rights" laws against you without tightening up those laws; some of those laws were preposterous to begin with anyway. Our security services must be given the advantage. Remember 9/11? Terrorists aim to kill as many innocents as possible, there's no bargaining with those bastards, no half-measures. Its do or die, and if its die - its many innocent people who will die.

I do the compass test every 6 months:
[June 2004] Economic (Left/Right) = 0.00 Social (Libertarian/Authoritarian) = 0.05 (BULLSEYE!)
[Dec 2004] Economic (Left/Right) = 1.00 Social (Libertarian/Authoritarian) = 1.18

... which shows I moved slightly to the Right on both axes during those 6 months.

I'm not due for another test until June :P

who gives a shit about 9/11? you don't live in america, so you probably here that it is SO horrible and we live in fear and bla bla bla. i dont CARE. there is no real terrorist threat, its just bullshit so they can have an excuse to take away freedoms we have, slowly but surely. im not alone, I have a few people who share my views; they just happen to be dead. but im sure you have heard of them nonetheless.

“those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.”
- Thomas Jefferson

“those who would sacrifice a little freedom for temporal safety deserve neither to be safe or free.”
- Benjamin Franklin

“why stand we here idle? What is that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of the chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what the course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
- Patrick Henry


It's really not a new concept, and the problem really isn't any less prevalent. I promise it isn't. It is simply more well-hidden by a more clever government, which has grown quite GOOD at making you THINK you have so much liberty and freedom while still keeping you tight under their thumb. So go ahead, run to your bomb shelters and hide the rest of your lives for safety. And if I die at age 23 outside of my shelter, and you die at 90 inside yours, know that I have lived a more meaningful and fulfilling life than you.

edit: i didnt understand some of the questions.. hard english

[Wicksy]

who gives a shit about 9/11?Uhh, I do. It shows there are some people out there who will go to any lengths in order to kill you. You don't care? Fine - you're a fool.

i dont CARE. there is no real terrorist threat, its just bullshit so they can have an excuse to take away freedoms we haveYou don't care: fool.
No real terrorist threat: 9/11, Bali, Madrid, Egypt, Israel, Beslan, Iraq, etc etc.
An excuse to take away your freedoms: Why the fuck would they want to do that?? What possible advantage would it give them? You actually think they sit there huddled in darkened rooms saying "hehehehe, right Donald, Condy, how can we take away the freedoms of the American people, hehehehe". Its not an episode of Scooby Doo, ya know.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4451831.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4322611.stm

Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens says up to 200 Al-Qaeda "terrorists" are operating in UK and the threat of attacks is real. He has backed proposed anti-terror laws, saying critics were naive about the "brutal" threat posed by fanatics.

I find it incredible that despite the abundance of evidence to the contrary, some blind fools still walk around pretending that there's no real danger. The BBC are the worst of them - notice how they put scare quotes around "terrorists" and "brutal", as if they weren't really.

im not alone, I have a few people who share my views; they just happen to be dead. but im sure you have heard of them nonetheless.

“those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.”
- Thomas JeffersonJust so you know - coz you obviously didn't comprehend it yourself - Jefferson is in fact agreeing with me.

So go ahead, run to your bomb shelters and hide the rest of your lives for safety. This is another bit you fail to understand. Islamic terrorists don't announce they're going to kill you, and they don't wear uniform - they mingle amongst crowds of innocents. Bomb shelters would be pretty useless, wouldn't they? In fact most conventional defenses are useless against brutal terrorism. Hence the reason for new anti-terror laws. DUH!

And if I die at age 23 outside of my shelter, and you die at 90 inside yours, know that I have lived a more meaningful and fulfilling life than you.I don't know anything of the sort. You have no idea who I am, or even how old I am. So for you to say that you've led a more meaningful and fulfilling life than me is utter bollocks, isn't it? Since you have no idea what you're talking about, you're just spouting shit instead.

Have a nice day.

nvm.. im blind

[Papa Smurf]

Ecomonic -6.00

lol it would appear i am more left wing than Gandi an the Dali Lama LMFAO

[Papa Smurf]

Uhh, I do. It shows there are some people out there who will go to any lengths in order to kill you. You don't care? Fine - you're a fool.

And you never thought that before? The IRA (for the US Timothy McVay) are hear and always have been.

I do not know Wicksey what is the diffrence between now and before, we have lived with this before and continue to do so, the only diffrence i can see is that these are Muslims rather than Catholics, same old shit diffrent day.

I personally am under no illusion that thy are not here they almost certainly are, but we have extensive anti terrorist laws, I see no need to give the police more powers they can already detain with out trial, so explain to me why and what powers they need, are these terrorist some much better at avoiding MI5 and 6? Have our security services suddenly got alot worse over night?

[HaXxorIzed]

I'm more left leaning than papa smurf. Only thing that drags my social down is I agree that action against terrorisim, in some cases restriction of civil liberties is nessecary. Sometimes. But Smurf is right, there has always been a threat, from any sort of extremisim. Go to far into civil rights restrictions and you have a dangerous slippery slope.

Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.34

Yes, I'm that left leaning and I admit it. But centrisim and the right are essential to pull the left in line, and vice versa. Always.

[Papa Smurf]

wow someone more lefty than me

TEACH ME MASTA!

lol 9.25 wow

[Lt_Omega]

*waits for a 9.9 (is 10 the max?)

[Karmashock]

I'm damn near the middle... and they call me a radical... :lol:

[Morpheus]

It does seem like one would have to be a radical to score positive on the left/right for that graph.

I think I just don't trust capitalists to take care of the people and environment all on their own. Over the years they proved that they can't do that.

[Karmashock]

I think I just don't trust capitalists to take care of the people and environment all on their own. Over the years they proved that they can't do that.
I agreed with that position... I think you have to have some regulation... the degree and nature of that regulation would be what we likely disagree on.

I see nothing wrong with farming trees for wood for example... where as many environmentalists think we shouldn't cut down trees even when they were planted for the express purpose of cutting them down later...

Agreed. I mean, sustained farming and careful harvesting of the environment isn't too much of a problem if you are careful and regulate it well. I mean, many old growth forests die and no longer suck up greenhouse gases as is ...

Lets face it, no human being on the planet would ever give up all luxuries for the greater good. But the environment is ultimately what keeps us alive.

[Karmashock]

nearly all the logging in the US is of trees planted by the logging companies... We're expanding our forests to meet future demand of wood... we grow trees like most people grow wheat... it's planted, cared for, and harvested... the only difference is that we plant the trees so that it looks nice and people and animals can benifit by them being there... alternativly we could plant them in rows in the desert... hundreds of thousands of trees planted like so many tomatos... but most think it's better if you plant them such that oyu have a forest in hte mean time... they even plant them in series so that at most a given area will only lose about 10 percent of it's trees a year scattered all over the place...



where you find irresponsible logging at this point is in south america, africa, and asia... that's where the rain forests are dying... Total tree growth in most of the developed world is expanding... and has been expanding for over 100 years...

Its like all those vegetarians trying to save the cows that we purposely raise to eat. We start eating less cows, less cows will have a life at all.

[Karmashock]

pretty much... peta wants us to not keep any animals in bondage or even as pets.

Their solution is generally to kill the animal. That's really all they ever do to animals... they 'free' them, then kill them.

If cows were no live stock for human use, they'd all die out... I mean completely... exinct. They've been in symbosis with humans for too long for them to survive without us. They're unusally stupid, lactate until bursting (unless milked), and tend to grase areas until nothing will even grow there... unless humans rotate them to another field. Peta has a huge freezer in their headquarters just for storing killed animals... they take them from where ever they're being kept by humans... as anything... from lab rats to beloved pets... killed, stored in a freezer, and then disposed of... likly in an incinerator.

The trees are not quite the same thing of course, they'd thrive if we went away... but it's an ironic fact that recycling paper generally hurts the environment more then it helps it. WAIT, let me explain this... don't freak out.

Recycling paper is an industrial process. You have to ship it to processing plants, shred it, soak it in chemicals, remove the dyes (generally makes a lot of this black inky goo), add bleech, then press and dry it. Even then you can't make the same quality of paper from recycled paper.

When you make paper normally you harvest trees that were planted expressly to be harvested later (at least in the US... south america or africa is a different story). You grind it up and add some chemicals... though a LOT less then for recycled paper and there is much less industrial waste. Then you press and dry it to get the finished process... it's much less involved and aside from cutting down a tree that was planted to be cut for paper you're polluting the environment less.

Recycling makes a lot of sense for things like metal... but it's generally bullshit for anything else. And the metal recycling is something that you don't have to pay to have done. Our trash has ALWAYS been sorted through for bits of discarded metal... when I mean always, I mean 4000 years ago your trash was sorted through for bits of metal... and its the same today. Notice how dispite the fact that the metal is hte most valuable thing you'll throw away there is no bin for metal? They have a paper bin which is worthless, a plastic bin which is less then worthless, and a glass bin which is of so little use that it might as well be worthless... but no metal bin. Why? Because your trash is already sorted at the city dump for metal and didn't need to have some city counciler ok some some recycling plan to go through it. Every recycled material is sold at a loss except for metal which the dump can charge money for them to take away then it cost to sort it out in the first place.
