The Political Compass

[murkurie]

I'm not too sure about that actually, depends more where there from I think, my college would be economically with me, but on the left. People in the Midwest and south are usually/stereotypically right winged. and the coasts are generally more left wing in my experiences of travel around this country.
I was surprised it didn't say I was more right. I've taken this quiz before, and its the same as last time.

Interesting. I always thought America was a more majority right country. It's the problem with trying to judge how people on the street think from reading/watching the press, news channels and the like. So I'm guessing the country itself, rather than the government, is alot more open to left-leaning thinking than the "vocal majority" and the press show?

On economic issues, I would say we are still right winged, and depending on the situation and usually social wise we can be left winged. A lot of is based on where you grew up and past family tradition. at my family reunion in the midwest, it was 'Merica, only American cars, and they were rednecks. I was in San Francisco last year and well, yea, that was interesting, no desire to ever go back.
My town is interesting, we are very much right winged, but there is constantly protester in our downtown (lol, picketing) protesting the war, asking for legalization on drugs, and on the other side of the street, there is the opposite of them, support the troops, etc.

I don't know about that. Look at how the lefties have trashed budgets an economies all over Europe and America. If it weren't for those excesses the social safety nets we have wouldn't be in danger of falling apart.

Angela merkel
George Bush
Kostas Karamanlis
Geir Haarde

All politicians of Right wing parties who have budget deficits. Bush left a substantially unbalanced budget for Obama whilst teh latter two left their country's economy in absolute ruin. The financial system fucked up badly and politicians of both the left and right left thier economies in a weaker state.

I wasn't actually thinking beyond the 'temp. I just meant it was nice that on the whole we seem to be a bunch of liberal-minded, non-prejudicial groovesters.

Angry because you're slightly left leaning? Or angry because you're basically centrist?

only one here as far as I can see but really I found some questions pure bs

 

[Lacius]

Those who are able to work, and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support.

It is my opinion that there is a bias in how some of the questions are asked. Anywho...
