To get an idea of where everyone in here stands on the political spectrum, I think it'd be great if we could all take a political quiz and post our results. This little test at http://selectsmart.com/plus/select.php?url=Vosem should be handy (it will rank your compatibility with the eight different political groups). Are anime fans on the more liberal side . . . or are they more conservative than people think? Or purely libertarian, maybe, or is anarcho-syndicalist more like it?

Are anime fans on the more liberal side . . . or are they more conservative than people think? Or purely libertarian, maybe, or is anarcho-syndicalist more like it? Let's not and say we did. Political discussions turn into nasty flamewars very quickly. If you really insist on asking the question, please mark it [OT] and add an explanation of the eight political groups. The site was very sparse on information.

Are anime fans on the more liberal side . . . or are they more conservative than people think? Or purely libertarian, maybe, or is anarcho-syndicalist more like it? This is at least somewhat offtopic here, but... 1: Liberal (100%) 2: New Labour (89%) 3: Anarcho-syndicalist (74%) 4: Libertarian (60%) 5: Totalitarian (46%) 6: Authoritarian (33%) 7: Traditional Societies (30%) 8: Conservative (11%) I'd note that several of the questions and/or answers are phrased in a loaded manner, tilted in favour of the liberal side of the issue; this could well indicate bias on the part of the survey designer(s), and could also skew results.

You will be asked 25 questions about U.S. government, policy and causes today. Find out what political philosophy you fall into _base_d on what you think in political fora and in your everyday culture and life. This is _base_d on the politics and political divisions of the United States, so it may not accurately reflect the dominant leaning of foreign test-takers in countries where the status quo is different. Discover which of these eight boxes you fit into: Posterior bottom right: conservative Posterior top right: authoritarian Anterior bottom right: the pattern of traditional societies (those without social and technological change with each generation) Anterior top right: totalitarian Posterior bottom left: libertarian Posterior top left: New Labour Anterior bottom left: anarcho-syndicalist Anterior top left: liberal     ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||| 1. Should Social Security be dismantled or privatized? Yes No Not sure   What priority do you place on your selection above?   High     Medium     Low     2. Should America end the welfare program? 3. Should the U.S. government provide free money for a college education for all Americans, making grades 13-16 free just as grades K-12 are? GNot only no, but hell no; I even support entrance exams for high school. The decision to go to college should reflect a commitment to learning; if it's free to everyone, even people who can't pass a basic GED, what's the point? 4. Should taxes paid by Americans be used by the government to provide foreign aid? 5. Should the United States create a socialized system of free health care for all? GNo. Free drugs are a bad thing. 6. Do you agree or disagree with the idea, popularly promised by politicians these days, of using taxes to pay for pre_script_ion drugs for seniors? GIt would make the final year of high school more interesting. 7. Do you fundamentally agree or disagree with the following idea: If the people worked together with the government and pooled their money for grand projects of construction, exploration and service, we could make great things happen? GThe government will spend all the money that comes within reach on pork; cooperative endeavor is a fine idea, but why involve politicians in it? 8. Should marijuana be legalized? a.No b.It should be legal to possess it only, not to sell it. c.Yes, and the government should assume a socialist ownership of the establishments that sell it. d.It should be saleable, and the government should help protect the interests of the existing marijuana-selling businesses so they can flourish and grow. e.Businesses and individuals should sell it without any regulation, inspection, liability, or accountability for product marketing and representation. f.It should be sold freely, but marijuana entrepreneurs shouldn’t be allowed to lie about their products and hurt people by selling them fake weed or not telling them that their weed is laced with a different product. g.This is completely a States’ Rights issue. h. Not sure GPersonally, I think Marijuana should be available by pre_script_ion, and people with a pre_script_ion should be allowed to possess it for personal use. It's insane that people who are dying are being refused medication that could ease their suffering because it's dangerous to healthy people. But that isn't an option given here. 9. Should the voting age be lowered to 16? 10. Homosexuality is morally wrong. 11. Should racial profiling be: Legal  Illegal Not sure GDefined? What is racial profiling? 12. Such civil liberties as freedom of speech, the right to trial by jury and not being detained without arraignment or trial, or freedom of religion must be suspended in times of extreme war and national emergency. 13. Should it be legal in the United States for a woman to go topless at a beach? No! It’s a threat to morals and an already threatened sense of decency, and, besides, think of what the sight of those breasts is going to do to little kids. I sure hope no one would have to see THAT when they unsuspectingly visited a beach. Yes. People need to stop being so uptight about the human body (and besides, it’s not even a part involved in sexual reproduction!)
