~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm some scales say I am conservative some say I am liberal.

[0=]

I don't like any of these tests, none of them can possibly be accurate because there are endless issues.

[Phantom]

I agree

Economic Left/Right: -4.25

[Phantom]

You guys don't REALY know me.
Its wierd I usualy debate conservative sides of issues but when I am talking to my conservative friend I debate liberal sides.
I guess I like debate.

I am not sure.
Some polls say I am liberal.
Some say I am conservative.

I am kinda messed up on political leaning.
I feel diffent about diffent things at diffent times.
I like constructive values (american values blah blah)
I feel strongly conservative on some issues. Guns, War, taxes.
I feel stongly liberal on some issues, such as not exploiting developing countrys and civil libertys.
IDK
-------------------
I think you need some stuff from both partys such as social security ETC from liberals and national security ETC from conservatives.
I just go for conservatives more RIGHT NOW because liberals are complete jokes right now. I would be a democrat 60 years ago though.

[cmpcmp]

the questions on this test in particular aren't very good.
phrases
-Are some
-are there
-sometimes
-questions that are semi-specific are also bad

I've taken a few of these tests and gotten, Liberal, Conservative, and Libertarian-Conservative. Some one needs to make one with very very specific questions that require a yes no answer, cuz I often find that I want to pick one that isn't on the list.

are all lead to very very misleading answers

[Phantom]

I think the test is horribly biased.
Or maybe I am more liberal than I thought.

It seems to be biased against conservatives VERY much.
I mean comone
If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.

Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment.

There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment.

It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.

Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care .

Governments should penalise businesses that mislead the public.

A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies.

All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind.

What's good for the most successful corporations is always, ultimately, good for all of us.

I mean COMEON anybody with a brain would pick the liberal answer on these questions unless your a nationlistic facist lol.

I have never aken a test that says anything other than this. I used to be closer to the middle at times, and sometimes i get libertarian, liberal, anarchist (hoo rah) etc. According to this, im right smack dab in the middle of Communistic Anarchism.

[Phantom]

lol acording to this I am ALMOST as liberal as *Dissident*
More liberal than the champion liberal (according to me) popo.

[Whisper]

How is this a debate

(i took it but then closed the window and forgot....its to long to take again!)

[Phantom]

IDK, I think it belongs here though because it has to do with politics.

[cmpcmp]

were debating the general validity of on-line political/economic alignment tests.
(wow that actually sounds really good)

[*Dissident*]

Lets take the average of our scores, and use that as a basis on "How Liberal we are". Popo's average is -4.5, mine is -5.17, Phantom is -2.65, to give you an idea of scale. Although, whats discussed on this board isnt usually economics, which makes up half of the average. If you go by Social score alone, Popo comes in liberal first, followed by me, and phantom is almost at the bottom with a -.87

That judges how authorian you are vs libertarian.
Like facsist vs anarchist. It dosn't have to do with liberal.

[Hyper]

The overall point is all of these polls are fucked up

[Phantom]

lol yeah

[*Dissident*]

there are several better ones than this, that ask you more detailed and less one sided questions

[Phantom]

I will find better ones

[Phantom]

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 50%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 20%.

CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.
Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind,
tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what
they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.
