The political compass were do you fit in ?

[aussielax]

yeah i think all you guys and girls should go to http://www.politicalcompass.org/ and take this test it puts you on a scale of were your econmic and social leanings are.

So according to this site im a left wing social libraterian and have around the same political values as Nelson Mandela and Dalai Lama.

i'd just like to see were some of those people who i've had political debate with in the past would come up on this scale.]

oh yeah my score was
Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03

[goalieskcickay]

I'm pretty sure we already did this, but a good topic to bring back up. I'm too lazy to get the image, I was pretty close to the middle, -3, -2.

[ljlax]

i dont really understand the scale but i got -2.5 (towards communisum) and -1.18 (towards liberatarians)
whatveer that means..

[Mavido]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.08

[roycegracie47]

I seem to be more libertarian than I thought and pretty close to thinking like the Dalai Lhama.

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.21

almost the same spot as bush.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Right next to Bush, and proud!

After clicking on US Election 04, I see Kerry isnt too far from Bush.

That has to be wrong. They complete opposites.

You're surprised?

Kerry voted along Republican lines for almost every bill he saw as a Senator.

That's part of why Bush won 2004 - in a time of war, you stick with your current leader. Also, Kerry's history didn't show that he'd do anything all that differently.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

I know that. Just I figured that since at every speech he sounded so liberal they'd be complete mirrors.

[shoebag2000]

Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.97

Pretty much right near the middle, but a little Authoritarian Left.

[dlaxer]

im all aloooone, im one up and one to the left

[shoebag2000]

Actually, thats right about where I am. We can be compass buddies. :love:

[FPDefense]

[dlaxer]

uh, shoebag, i think not

[shoebag2000]

I know, I was just kidding around. Or was I? :dodgy:

edit: ahh, the dodgy smiley doesnt work on this board.

[goalieskcickay]

I know that. Just I figured that since at every speech he sounded so liberal they'd be complete mirrors.

IMHO He was just trying to get all the hardcore libs to vote for him by sounding like that, then all the swing votes to vote for him by telling them that Bush kills Americans. :bull:

[D4lax]

i was somewhere on the left. I think i was four to the left and one up

[RockStar]

Slightly to the left, midway down the libertarian side.

I would have scored dead centre on economic issues, but I had to pick agree or disagree on everything......not all of the questions were so black/white that you could easily do that. I had enough "disagrees" where I was actually neutral, or would evaluate on a case-by-case basis.

For example - something about museums and theatres not deserving gov't funding if they can't support themselves commercially. I had to either agree or disagree, when my opinion is that some do deserve public funding and some clearly don't.

Therefore, I think the survey needed a fifth "neutral" / "sometimes" response on several questions.

[LymanLax28]

I did this test before, here's what I got:

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.72

[sthlaxman40]

Economic Left/Right: -1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.49

It was like 2 left and 1 down. I think I have a whole lotta conflicting beliefs. Basically I hate the whole idea of socialism and communism, because it deprives people of their ability to succeed and become great.

communism and socialism don't take away peoples chance of becoming great ans succeeding it just takes away there chance of making lots of money.

[Lockbox911]

it takes away peoples incentive to be great and succeed.

[aussielax]

Yes it does take away peoples incentive to try and be great in financial terms but there are other ways of being great.

[roughrider]

it takes away peoples incentive to be great and succeed.

It is pretty sad if money is someones only incentive to do anything in life.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^
yeah well lockbox911 did get 9.00 to the right so i would asume he is pretty driven by money and materialism.
