the division of joy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 For if you're bored and confused and need telling how you feel politically (Like me) http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html 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.

Reverend Jax Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles. :feign shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 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.

Reverend Jax Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I can just hear Nick now...he's only a few more Bullshit episodes away saying "You know what would be so much better than what we have now? If the government just got out of the firefighting business. It could save lots of tax money, which we could refund to the people so they could buy contracts with private firefighting companies to put fires out on those specific properties which are have signed up for that companies private fire coverage. Getting the "no government" is the best answer to every problem!" Edited August 18, 2009 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 look at my sig. and i was specifically talking about people who support mass murdering fuck heads. Ya know: Nazis, communists, Stalinists, Leninists, etc. If Genocide/Politicide is part of the platform, I will do my damnedest to chase them off the boards.

The NZA Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 DoJ: this will end in tears. likely mine. I can just hear Nick now...he's only a few more Bullshit episodes away saying "You know what would be so much better than what we have now? If the government just got out of the firefighting business. It could save lots of tax money, which we could refund to the people so they could buy contracts with private firefighting companies to put fires out on those specific properties which are have signed up for that companies private fire coverage. Getting the "no government" is the best answer to every problem!" this is, of course, the most logical conclusion to be made from a 4 question quiz, sir. when this fateful day arrives, following sirs Penn & Teller, please also list Stossel, Thomas Moore and to a lesser extent, Adam Smith. you can track my corruption from said readings.

archangel Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 As someone who backed the war, or didn't excuse it, why are you not part of the sig. because the people we were fighting fit nicely into those categories. again: fight evil wherever it arises. Besides, SOMEONE had to actually follow through with the consequences listed in those 18 UN Resolutions ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 And I'm sure with their views, they consider you evil too. Two sides of the same coin mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) moral relativism is bullshit: some things are simply universal truths. Overthrowing dictators is one thing, and you can argue the pros/cons against active intervention all day long and both sides have very legitimate arguments. Tyranical rule, genocide, politicide, child rape and the mass suppression of natural rights is NEVER acceptable; it is ALWAYS evil. So no, not opposite sides of the same coin. Two very different things entirely. Your comparing coins to horseshit. Edited August 19, 2009 by archangel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 oh, christ. this is an ongoing thing with my views & readings lately, please dont tell bish or gunsmith, fucking never heard the end of it. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ok i'm done now As you can guess I got lib with slight right leaning and yeah it's a pretty small quiz. btw left just talk about the quiz rather then the morals of this war or that war ok. Also something for jax to remember, libs want smaller goverment not no goverment, the people your looking for are the anarcits(fing spelling). Now I run off to tell george of this!

bishopcruz Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Libertarian of course, which awesomely is the philosophy in the lead. NICE! oh, christ. this is an ongoing thing with my views & readings lately, please dont tell bish or gunsmith, fucking never heard the end of it. Good! Good!! Pretty good quiz as far as a general philisophical outlook goes. Little simplistic, but pretty much works. As far as the foreign policy stuff goes, the more I read, the more I think that military policy can in many ways be separated from one's political philosophy. That is where you get into the joys of Realism, Constructivism, Liberalism (different meaning), and all their variations. But I digress... I can just imagine your next barbecue..."why are my tax dollars going to inspecting this beef I bought? Wouldn't the free market be better at weeding out meat packers that sell me botulism?" I realize it's hard being the lone liberal in this thread, but really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
