Yeah. I guess my the dark idealistic corners of my mind manifested themselves in that quiz, haha.
The fact that they put Obama as a socialist worries me about their overall knowledge of political ideologies.
I am no expert in America's politics, but according to this, 55% Americans think Obama is a socialist.
I think I like Obama but then again I am not an American so I am not sure if I know enough about him or how he would affect my life as an American.
I'm reeeeeeally average. . . :sad:

@Sea: Personally, I'm not a fan of his administration, but I don't think he's a bad president. I hate Emanuel, given his past, but Obama's finally shutting him down. I think they panicked during the BP disaster, and didn't give Jindal what he needed right away, which he should've done; but putting Thad Allen in charge of the cleanup was a wise choice.

Then I agree that Obama is not a socialist.
How did you answer the question about famine being unavoidable BTW?

While MSNBC is rather biased and CNN slightly so, Fox News blows them out of the water in terms of political agenda bullshit. Hell, the title of that article alone should say more than enough about that.
But yeah, independent groups are preferred.

I didn't like the way that question was phrased, considering it was a yes or no with four varying degrees of agreement. I think I slightly disagreed with that. I think it's well within our power to put an end to starvation, but producing that quantity of food and getting very little in return would cause an financial strain that no one is prepared to deal with in the current economic climate. I do, however, support an end to starvation and believe that people shouldn't be dying for such reasons.

Same here.
Those questions worth discussing:
"The government should subsidize struggling museums, theaters, and artists."
"People shouldn't be allowed to have children they can't provide for."
"People raising children have a responsibility to live up to society's standards."
"Since parents can't be trusted to monitor what their children watch, TV content needs to be more regulated."
^ "Society's standards"?

I didn't like this question at all. Why is preserving history mixed with safeguarding entertainment jobs? I know a segment of culture comes into play with the theatre, but still.

Depends on what standards they're talking about. If they mean basics like don't stab anyone fine, but if they're talking about pleasing some curtain twitcher, then no.

No, it's the parents who should be doing this.

I know I'l get killed for saying this, but I agree with this one
I know that a restriction like this couldn't be enforced properly, but I really think we should at least try to make abort a obligatory option when it comes to people below 18 and families that can't even live decently by themselves

I don't know if that describes it right. Some questions of the test would require more of an answer than "I agree" or "I disagree". Also it was pretty pointless for me to answe USA-only questions ("don't know" option would be good).
That being said I wouldn't describe myself as left or right, different problems require different solutions.

Seems more or less correct. Though I support Obama (somewhat anyway), I've never truly leaned heavily towards being a democrat (just slightly) as opposed to a Republican. They both have their perks. The problem is that the Republican party right now is an absolute trainwreck; if done right, it can be quite successful and admirable.
LOL, just found this. Can't believe someone even made it:
^Hahahaha you see some people/media send the message that Obama is a socialist and this is the result.
It's laughable cause in Europe we'll definately put Obama on the right side of the political spectrum.
Even the Tea Party higher ups were mad about that billboard lol.
It's also always funny to see people trying to say Hitler was a leftist because "national SOCIALST".
@Sea:
LOL, just found this. Can't believe someone even made it:
Oh yeah . . . I heard about that. I don't think many people were really happy about that billboard, either.
And weren't Hitler and Stalin supposedly exact opposites on the political spectrum? Like, Hitler was far right and Stalin far left?
Stalin? I don't see Stalin.
Hitler was fascist, to the far right. Stalin was under the pretense of being communist, which would be to the far left, but he was much closer to-if not completely-fascist. Lenin wasn't as bad as Stalin, but I don't know enough about his reign to tell where he stands.

I just looked it up. Hitler was, as you said, far left, and Lenin was far right.

They were on the opposite left right spctrum, but I guess they were on the same side of the liberal/authoritarian side (both were authoritarian).
But yeah, Hitler and the Nazis despised Communists and Socialists. Those were their enemies in the Reichstag, and the commies were the target of the fire the nazis set (so they could be chased out of the political process).
And of course all the killing of them he did later.

Sounds okay. I do not believe government should meddle around in things (like some of those questions) that does not get much attention. If it fails, it fails. People are what helps these bussiness grow and work. That's what I think though.
And while there's suffering in other parts of the world like sickness, hunger and whatnot, It's not entirely possible to help them all. It's unfortunate but people die. However, I do support helping those we can mainly because there are people who would rather not sit back and do nothing.
War has been around forever. I can't say I have anything agianst it. Corruption is within it, but corruption is everywhere.
Can't really tell if my way of thinking is dangerous or not. My parents weren't really into politics. Neither am I. I just form my ideas through what I see.
You don't have anything against war? That's kind of a weird statement.
Well, not everything for say. There is the production of weapons that can destory a whole civilization(like the Atomic bomb used on Japan). I don't think the world needs such things. Then there's soldiers that would use a war zone as a good excuse to gun down innocent civilians. I'm sure I barely touched the surface on the idea of war being bad for the world, but it's inevitable most of the time.
Then what exactly is indifferent about war to you?
War and religion are responsible for any regression in science and civilization, probably from the very beginning.
Ironically, war is responsible for many of the technological boons as well.
