RegisteredAndEducated Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I took it again and got the exact same results... Here are the questions and answers... with my answers in red... Reasons for my answers or comments in green. 1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True Everyone can do their part to protect the environment, but it should not be mandatory. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. Self explanatory, get the illegals here now out, and stop new illegals from coming in. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. remember... Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve... 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind This one was kind of ambiguous... I'm definitely not an 'No Child Left Behind' fan. It is/was/always will be a horrible idea, but I picked vouchers because I like that idea. 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business It's illegal, and until that is not true, you should be punished for getting caught doing it. That being said, I think a slap on the wrist (kind of like a speeding ticket) should be plenty. 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit That's pretty self explanatory also... It's bogus nowadays. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Once again, self explanatory... 8. Some people have less luck than others False True I don't really believe in luck. Luck is what you make it. 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more We can't keep charging employers and rich people. Make it fair at least. Most rich people worked really freakin hard to get rich. I don't think it's fair to let the government steal it from them. I wanna be in charge of my own damn money. 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. Same as the last one. Cut taxes for everyone. Let's get a bigger sales tax across the board. Tax goods coming from forgein soils 100 times more than domestic items. Same with all forgein goods. 11. It's more important for our country Reduce the deficit and national debt To help the poor and helpless Enough said. Let the poor get jobs and make life choices that will allow them to not be poor. it's not easy, but it's do-able. 12. The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation I think is is self explanatory. Let the market and economy control unemployment.... Let the FED do it's job. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True What other social responsabilities should a company have? So long as they're paying their taxes, what else should they have to do? 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True BS. If you can't afford health care, get insurance and/or a better job. It's call survival of the fittest or population control or whatever. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True I agree that nobody should be a sheep, but why should all authority be opposed? Rings of anarchists. 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal I think we already know my stance on this one. 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Sometimes, it's just necessary to do what you have to do. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Right. It absolutely was. 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights To hell with prisoner's rights. They gave those up when they landed themselves in prison. We let too many rapists and murders sit in prison for the rest of their life, or for too short a time and then they're out on parole just for a little info. We should be killing more of them and ridding us of their burdens on society. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights I think it should be used alot more than it is. The death penalty is an amazing tool that we, as a nation, are wasting. then my results.

WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE AMONG THOSE FORTUNATE MASSES..... Hey, "Non-believers" I've just got one thing to say to ya... If you're right, then what difference does it make, it wont matter when we're dead anyway... But if I'm right... Well, hey... Ya better be right...
wez Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True I picked true, hard to do business if people are dead. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. Get them the hell out.. and don't let the door kick you in the ass. Apply legally if you want to live and work here. Course, I place most the blame on the people who hire them and a government who looks the other way.. without that, there is no problem other than shipping them out. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Marriage is man made, and a hinderence to two people being together in this day and age. There's a reason less and less young people are seeking permission to be together. Adam and Steve are fine by me.. Jesus doesn't hate gays.. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind Revoke NCLB now!! 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business I don't need anyone slapping anything. Mind your own f cking body unless I cause you harm directly related to smoking pot. 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit Unfair, outdated, and hurts the best man/woman. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Dangerous and sketchy as most peoples "protection" kills innocent bystanders and family members than actual criminals deserving of death. Don't ever plan owning one. Specially a handgun. 8. Some people have less luck than others False True I thought about false then had a hard time thinking that little baby JFK JR. didn't have a bit more luck than little Charlie Manson who was sold by his prostitute mother. An infant can't make luck and it will certainly affect destiny. 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more Picked the first, learingly.. 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. Picked the first, but would choose neither really.. 11. It's more important for our country Reduce the deficit and national debt To help the poor and helpless Debt will be the death of the American dream 12. The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation Inflation.. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True They have a responsibility of total HONESTY before anything. 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True True.. I'm tired of peoples worth being shackled to money. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True Hell yeah! 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal Ummmmmmmm.. 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Never ok to kill people for any reason. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Are you kidding? For what? 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights Too many plea bargains.. but too many laws, too many prisons.. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights Nope.. not a fan of the death penalty.. Quote
snafu Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True This is one of those questions that could've gone either way. It's not their primary responsibilty. They do have to make a profit also. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Gays should have the same rights. Dosn't mean churches should be required to marry them though. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind The no child left behind only hinders other kids to excelrate. There was nothing wrong with the short bus. 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business It's not saying whether we should enforce the law or not. It's a personal choice so its your own buisness 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit It's unfair, outdated and hurts those with the most merit. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Nothing sketchy about it. Self defense is a god given, constitutional right. 8. Some people have less luck than others False True Ever here about the lottery? 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more SSN is failing. Get into the private sector. 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. Cut taxes.. yes 11. It's more important for our country Reduce the deficit and national debt To help the poor and helpless We can't help the poor if we're broke. 12. The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation You need to fix inflation first. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True Opposite of the first question. They also have an environmental responsibly too. 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True Everybody deserves good health. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True Not only authority but any decision made by someone else for you. 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal Illegal with charges of murder. 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Most emphatically. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Yes it defiantly was. 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights Too many plea bargains but not enough rehab. mixed question but I don't care about the prisoners rights. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights Do the crime...get fried! Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws.

wez Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I was thinking Snaf.. about abortion, one area we see differently.. I know you say it's a 50/50 affair whereas the man should have equal say and rights.. If it was illegal with criminal charges, how would the man be held equally accountable? Alls a mans gotta say is.. Prove it, I wanted to keep it, see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Believe it or not, there are men out there who'd sell there mother for a buck.. Quote
timesjoke Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 My answers were the same as Brotherman and for the same reasons except this one: 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True The question itself was too narow, but given a choice of either questioning authority or blindly accepting it, I would decide to question it. To me authority istelf does not mean your always right so there should be checks and balances, but as a rule we should not make it a habit of fighting authority just for the sake of fighting it. There is a time and place as well, for example, fighting a ticket on the side of the road is not the right time or place. Quote

He can't abort the child on his own ( unless he used a smoothie) but if he were to coerce the women he should be charged for conspiracy to commit murder. If he slips her the morining after pill he would get the murder charge just like the guy did as the law stands now. 50-50.

ImWithStupid Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Am I the only clear thinking moderate on a forum of right wing extremists? I think if their were more choices or rankings of importance on this test, I would have been more of a moderate conservative then as conservative as this showed. Quote
ImWithStupid Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Here is another quiz to gauge if you lean liberal or conservative. Still not perfect but a bit more to it then the last. Political Quiz I scored a 24. Puts me more conservative then Colon Powell and just shy of George Bush senior. Quote

eddo Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True "Not Exactly"??? How is that a viable answer vs. "True"? I voted that way, because while I don't think a company needs to be deliberately trashing the environment, I don't think it should be their main concern. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. Lock the door, then start working on sending the illegals here home and to the end of the "enter the country legally" line. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. "Marriage" is between man and woman. If two gays want to have a binding legal contract between them, any paralegal can help them with that. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind Technically I voted for the vouchers, but easily could have said both. 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business As long as it is illegal, you should be punished for doing it. 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit It's unfair, outdated and hurts those with the most merit- and stupid. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Don't see very many shootings in army surplus stores. I wonder why that is? 8. Some people have less luck than others False True Like Brotherman, I don't believe in luck. Life hands you all kinds of stuff- some good, some bad- deal with what you got. 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more all for personal responsibility 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. again with the personal responsibility. Let me handle my money. If I blow it all on nachos and then can't afford the payment on my new house, then it's my own damn fault. 11. It's more important for our country Reduce the deficit and national debt To help the poor and helpless I don't think it is the countries responsibility to take care of the poor. That's my job. and yours. 12. The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation I voted for Controlling inflation so it would keep minimum wage from ever being increased again.- personal responsibility. Not making enough money for a new house? better yourself so you can get a better job. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True Companies are there to make money for the people invested in it. 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True I voted true on this one- because everyone deserves to be treated. This does not mean that I think everyone is entitled to health insurance, or cheap insurance if they are not doing their part to be living a healthy lifestyle. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True If the question said "All authority, by its nature, should be open to be questioned" my vote wold have been different. Just because authority is there does not mean I should question it. It is a privilege to have a job, and as such, my boss doesn't have to let me work there. He is my boss and I need to respect the opportunity he gives me to make a paycheck. 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal abolutely 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Yep. Sometimes it's good being the most powerful county in the world. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Yep, Hussien had WMD (give me 10 years to hide something and see how well I do at it...) and he was an evil bastard. Iraq is better off without him. 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights I'd add frivolous lawsuits to that as well.. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights should be added for drug users. lol Quote I'm trusted by more women.
snafu Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 .... 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. "Marriage" is between man and woman. If two gays want to have a binding legal contract between them, any paralegal can help them with that. I guess I've changed my view on this a bit. Yes a marriage is between a man and a women but they should have the same rights. Not more rights but the same. And a church should not be made to condone or preform such unions. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights should be added for drug users. lol Bite your tounge!
