I found a political test online. I have no idea how accurate it is, but it's fun to take so go ahead and see what it says you are. The link is http://www.okcupid.com/politics

Your true political self:

You are a
Social Liberal
(83% permissive)

and an...
Economic Liberal
(10% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Socialist (10e/83s)


You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. loc

I was laughing at all of the skillfully worded questions. A lot of them exhibit a logical fallacy and the rest are carefully biased. I got some funny looks when I read the Death Match Challenge question. ;)

Yeah, a lot of the questions were funny. I like the ones at the end. Some 83% said that Democrats were better in bed. Lol. I expected more like 50/50.

OK. Someone's going to have to explain Republican and democrat stuff to me.

What's the hidden text?

Pretty much, Democrats believe in social permissiveness. They are generally pro choice (although not always, myself included, on a personal level anyways), less strict laws, against the death penalty. They are not eco. per.They think fair trade (placing tariffs on imports to protect American jobs) is good, and they believe in government aid such as social security. Republicans are usually economically permissive. They want less government regulation on things dealing with money. They believe in free trade. This is why many of the rich people tend to be republican (free trade means outsourcing jobs and spending less money for their businesses). They think states and people need to be responsible for themselves and less government aid. They are also not as socially permissive. This is why, generally, they are pro life and for the death penalty. Everyone is different though. Not everyone can just be placed into one category or the other. More Americans are become individuals (or centrists according to this test).

When I said eco. per. that meant economically permissive. Somehow overwrite got turned on. Someone want to help me turn it off?

>> What's the hidden text?
It'll involve doing the test again (or some searching), to find it so I guess you'll never know!

Thanks for the definition. I guess I could (and probably should), have searched for the answer. Whoops.

The liberals are pansies, who favor helping the poor. Republicans are usually economically permissive. They want less government regulation on things dealing with money. They believe in free trade. This is why many of the rich people tend to be republican (free trade means outsourcing jobs and spending less money for their businesses). They think states and people need to be responsible for themselves and less government aid. They are also not as socially permissive. The Republicans are rich, scumbags who only think of themselves and money.
