Guest JMA Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 I think this is something everyone can enjoy (don't have much of those in the CE folder). The Satrical Political Beliefs Assessment Test
Guest Tyler McClelland Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 I loved it, but one part bothered me: There was only one reference to liberal cynicism
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Pretty Good. I don't think it would be a bad idea if they did have a quiz, instead of describing what a Conservative or Liberal thinks of Robin Hood.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 19, 2003 Report Posted February 19, 2003 Of course, I think Robin was "cutting taxes," but that's just me...
Guest LooseCannon Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 That thing was really long.

Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 I've done that test before. It's way too long and I graded around a Thatcher Conservative.
Guest Samurai_Goat Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 I ended up around Ghandi.
Guest JMA Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 I thought more people might enjoy this.
cawthon777 Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 Economic Left/Right: 0.38 Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.03 Right on the bloody line between the left and right. Maybe the test is wrong...

Guest JMA Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 That would be the alternative. Where did you think you would end up? What are some of your political beliefs?
Guest Sturgis Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 As a Libertarian I am pissed. Because it sets a very bad sterotype on the Libertarian Party and Libertarians in general.
Guest JMA Posted February 26, 2003 Report Posted February 26, 2003 As a Libertarian I am pissed. Because it sets a very bad sterotype on the Libertarian Party and Libertarians in general. Every philosophy was stereotyped. The conservatives were portrayed as bible-thumpers. The liberals were portrayed as bleeding hearts. The libertarians were portrayed as anti-goverment. The communists were portrayed as... well, communists. I actually thought the libertarians were parodied the least.
cawthon777 Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 That would be the alternative. Where did you think you would end up? What are some of your political beliefs? pro-military small government low taxes no affirmative action
Guest Sturgis Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 I actually thought the libertarians were parodied the least. How so? I'm a Libertarian and I'm hardly like that, sure there were some things I agreed with, but for the most part it made Libertarians look bad.

The Libertarians (although parodied) were not parodied as much as, say, Liberals and Conservatives.
Guest JMA Posted February 27, 2003 Report Posted February 27, 2003 pro-military Could you elaborate on this? What exactly does it mean to be pro-military? I mean, wouldn't everyone who wanted the US to have a military be pro-military? Or do you mean you support a strong military?

I mean, wouldn't everyone who wanted the US to have a military be pro-military? Or do you mean you support a strong military? Strong military. Being that I grew up in a military household, I'd much rather have an administration in power that understands the importance of a strong military and can appreciate those who do risk their lives in order to keep our country free. What I don't support is shutting down military base after military base just because we aren't at war. *cough cough* like the Clinton administration did *cough cough*

Guest DrTom Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 ... for the most part it made Libertarians look bad. At the risk of being thought uncharitable, they tend to do a good enough job of that themselves. The party itself is the main reason why I am a small-L libertarian.
Guest JMA Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Speaking as the topic starter, I just wanted to provide a little political humor. Things have gotten serious and I thought we could use a break from it. Every philosophy is parodied. If you read the top you see that only the extremist views of the respective parties are parodied.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 Great stuff. The Commie stuff especially.
