Hah, it says I'm socially and politically permissive. Probably because i'm "against" the war on drugs.

BTW, there are chicks over there posting their nekid pictures. Better go and tell Roger.

Thanks, Annie. Pretty interesting. You came out about where I'd expect based on what you write.

I was tagged a "social moderate," and "economic conservative," best described as a Capitialist. So, they pretty much pegged me.

Casca, I'm with you on the "War on drugs." What a fucking joke.

I'm where you are, only at 38% and 80%. Oddly, that put me between Trump and Reagan on the famous people chart. I wonder what answers would get you on top of Osama?

They had the Unabomber as economically and socially permissive. The guy that wanted to eliminate modern technology is economically permissive? Sheesh.

It says I'm socially and economically liberal (socialist), but what really surprised me was that my "you" circle was smack dab on Hillary's face. I was not expecting that in the slightest.

WOO HOO! I am a strong republican, at least I know its not a total piece of crap. I got 36% socially permissive and 80% economic. guess most of us are about in the same place.

Yeah, don't take this one too seriously; it's got lots of flaws. Earlier today I took it again, and answered all the questions like a hardcore, Kool-Aid-drinking Stalinist (Mike, you out there?) and only ended up as a "Socialist." Geez. The fact that you're a proabort doesn't mean you're not a totalitarian!

Posted by: Matt on Sep. 28, 2005

Mike might say we're both socialists, Matt.

National Socialists, that is.

Mel Brooks said it best:

"Don't be stupid! Be a smarty! Come and join the Nazi Party!"

Lotsa them questions were hatrd to answer cuz they were so vague and I didn't know the answer woiuld be judged. I came out out a "centrist", prolly cuz I was trying to outguess the liberally biased quiz. Funny how that celebrity chart had John Kerry smack dab in the center...

Posted by: Tuning Spork on Sep. 29, 2005

Crikey, lemme try that agin.

A lot of those questions were difficult to answer because they were vague and I didn't know how the answer would be judged by the quizbot.
I scored as a "centrist", most likely because I was unwilling to grant the quiz it's own territory.
Interesting, in't it, that John F Kerry was dead center in the "famous person"s chart? PIMF

I tried this test from a couple of different sites, to see what different answer sets might reveal. One outcome seemed to be repeated, even when the answer came up Democrat;

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

I scored almost exactly the same spot as Anika although a little closer to W's chin versus Reagan's ear. Interesting that Fascism is placed on the the social conservative side of Republican, but I got a chuckle that Anarchist was seen as an extreem of Libertarianism and John Kerry was a dead center Centrist! Bwa, Ha, Ha! Gosh, you can't tell the thing was wrtitten by a flaming lefty or anything can you? In the real world, Libertarians are probably in the right place, but all of the anarchists I see look more like an offshoot of the DNC.

One last point in response to Trevor above. I strongly recomend that people actually read the Unabomber's manifesto. I don't even remember seeing the rant about technology anywhere in it. (Though if we are to believe our betters in the MSM, it must be there!) What I did see was the vast majority of his 5000 or so words devoted to a remarkably well written explaination of why Liberalism is a mental illness. Can't argue with him there.

Technology = Progress, right?

According to the Left, being against "progressives" = being against technological advancements.

Gore invented the Internet, right?

Posted by: reagan80 on Oct. 1, 2005

Annika and I got very similar results.

We're telepathically connected obviously.
