Pretty good. Although, I WILL say, I don't think torture is the greatest idea on earth...

I think of the word conservative, more meaning to conserve our Nation's original system. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

How are you equating libertarianism with fascism?

It's a discussion probably outside the scope of this thread.

If you're fighting a war, it's a necessary evil (maybe not so much in the 21st century).
What I disagree with is in making torture morally acceptable, like when you glorify Batman interrogating the Joker.

I got tired of this topic when I was 13.
Ditto.


Add me to this list. Everytime I think of our polictians and what they're doing and what they're SUPPOSE to do, a little of me just dies inside.

LET'S BUILD A BRAND NEW STADIUM WHEN MILLIONS OF OUR OWN PEOPLE REALLY NEED MEDICARE (at least in America).

Quote combo since I agree with the agreeing part, what addit said is just flavor I guess
If I have to go by the list provided I'll yae and nay the policies laid out.

Liberal: yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, nay, eh, yea.

Conservative: nay, nay, yea, nay, nay, nay, nay, yea, nay, yea, eh, nay.

More Liberal than Conservative with some cross-over, or at least at the basest level.

So that makes me similar to the Dalai Lama, which is not too shabby. I had answered "Liberal" in the poll, so it appears I wasn't too far off.

EDIT:

My results for the second one were slightly different:



EDIT 2:

I'll guesstimate that mine are -4.25 on the economic scale and -2.85 on the societal scale
I had a tough time deciding between Liberal and Very Liberal. I went with Liberal.
EDIT:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69



I guess I should have chosen Very Liberal.

That's the result of objectifying people ... :P
Sorry, but the political compass thingy isn't much better than the original two-way poll. Political views are not strict definitions. You can place people on a chart for the sake of this weekend's issues, but it leaves no room for case-by-case rational judgment.

For example, being pro-war automatically makes you lean towards neo-con'ism. But you can be pro-war for the Iraq war which is an immoral imperialist adventure, or pro-war for the Korean situation which is pro-freedom/democracy/civilization.
Chillax guys. That was a joke.

I guess I am a liberal. I support gay marriage, but oppose legalizing pot, so someone might call me moderate. :P

Conservative Republicans usually have nasty things to say about changes and reform. Not to mention their bigotry and ignorance when it comes to policies. The entire Fox News Network is made up of conservative republicans, and they always get destroyed in debate with liberal democrats.

What the fuck is Liberal? What do they stand for?
And Conservatives. Does that mean they expect you to wear ankle-length dresses?
Liberalism and Conservatism are political positions. Liberals in the U.S.A. are generally Democrats and Conservatives are generally Republicans.

Keep in mind not everyone subscribes to all of these positions, but the differences generally go like this.

Liberals want social equality, environmental protections, higher taxes on corporations and the rich, to expand welfare and social programs, for gay marriage, generally are for gun control, de-fund or slow down the expansion of the military, anti-torture, against the death penalty, want amnesty for illegal immigrants, and are pro-abortion.

Conservatives want decreased regulation on businesses, tax cuts for the rich, a simplified tax code, are anti-abortion, are against gay marriage, against gun-control, want to cut welfare programs, want to decrease the size of government, support "enhanced interrogation techniques" or torture, for the death penalty, against amnesty for illegal immigrants, and they want to expand the military.

Does that help?


That's cute. Here's an equally and oppositely biased point of view.

Liberals want revenge on white males, taxpayer-funded investments into failed solar energy firms, high taxes on everyone across the board, to expand welfare to increase their power base, want to punish legal gun owners and facilitate illegal gun owners, pretend to want to de-fund the military but actually end up being equally or more warlike than conservatives, want to grant special immigration privileges to future Democrat voters, and have no respect for life or family.

Conservatives want real competition and real free market, not corporatism or cronyism, tax cuts for the productive sector of society, yes, a simplified tax code, only the religious ones are anti-abortion and anti-gay, recognize the validity of the 2nd amendment, recognize that welfare programs often create more problems than they solve and do not celebrate when the amount of welfare recipients increases, want to decentralize the government, against granting of special immigration privileges to future Democrat voters, and these days, want less interventionism than Democrats.

Does that help?

I call bullshit on all of this. This is what watching Fox News does to people: make them stupid.
Well it was an opposite and equally biased view. Because you can't say that DarklordKeinor's comment was in any way balanced.
