im very close to the center :souka:

you know what is interesting www.nationstates.net i made a new nation today. if you really want to see where you stand in a little political test thingy play this game daily, its very very interesting.
 
I tried nationstates.net last year. It was fun for a while, but it doesn't take long to see the creator's liberal bias shining through....much like the premises in many of the questions in the political compass quiz.
 
Thanks Mike, you've hit the nail on the head for me there. When taking the quiz I found it hard to understand how someone could agree with some of the right wing statements, but you're probably right - they were phrased by someone who disagress with those ideas.
 
I read some of the faqs they had on their site,
about Kerry & Bush being in the same quadrant,
or complaints they got stating : "the political spectrum has moved here"
you should to.

for the 2nd one, they state that in say Nazi Germany there might have
been Nazis who weren't for some of the extreme things as other nazis
and thus make them left of other nazis. someone resisting the nazis
would be extreme. so they keep their boundaries of political-ness where
they are.

to the 1st item i mentioned, i'm not sure if they had this explanation, but
face it, the US has virtually no mainstream left. people like Kerry and Clinton
may have been somewhat liberal, but they were not leftists. they push the
corporate agenda as much as the rest of them.

but, of course, you could be right

Gee, it seems like we're all crowding into the Gandhi quadrant. Let's find some companionship for Mike Cash.

You're old enough to remember the old Mac Davis tune with the words "...I treasure my own company"
 
Here are my results :

Economic : -3.38
Social : -2.87

Btw, this test has already been posted in this thread. I had almost the same score last year, although I have now slightly more on the left.
 
Economic Left: -6.63
Social Libertarian: -6.21

Venceremos! :v:
 
Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.44
 
Mike Cash may well be right on those.

As for the game nationstates.net, I thought
they were biased because they assumed corporations as a given.

Also, it seemed that "what was good for the corporations, was good for the economy".
It's a bias I think exists with mainstream politicians and their corporate media as well.
I'm not an economist, but it seems to me that "the health of an economy"
should not be measured by a stock market alone. How about the length
of lines at the soup kitchens? Not number of homeless or unemployed,
because there can be people working full time at close to a minimum wage
and still need to get help with for food stuffs. Two people making the same
amount, one with not kids and one with kids, one is definately going to be more
economically strapped in any economy.
 
Most people on the net, at least on the boards I frequent, were 'Dalai Lamas'. On one board, the last time I took this, the economics were a point to the left (-1.5?). I was associated with fundamentalist Christian by some on that board (even though I was far from it).

Current result:

Economic Left/Right: -0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.00
 
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.23

Guess I'm the most right-wing (capitalistic) dude here. I thought I would be more south on social issues though. Maybe its my view on criminal punishment.
 
Economic -3.13
Social -5.13
There are some good questions in it, but I have some objections too; (a) it doesn't distinguish between international relations and domestic politics, but I think you have to, (b) some of the propositions were a bit out there, and so I could only answer if I suspended my disbelief and gave them the benefit of the doubt (i.e. IF that is the case I would answer ____, but IF it was not then I would answer____) (c) not enough consideration for context and specific situations, (d) does not distinguish between how I would like the world to be, as opposed to how it really is at the moment. All in all it suffers from being too context insensitive, trying to be too black and white. The world is GREY though.
 
Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33


Left wing libertarian.

Economic Left/Right: -4.63
