What political party do you fall in?

think it would be interesting to see how we answer these 10 simple questions on how we think the government or people should be. I hope this topic doesn't cause much of a problem when it comes to disagreements. This issue almost always seem to be a sensitive issue when it comes to people who have an opinion.

Vote what you scored, and as always feel free to comment about it :)

So far we've got one libertarian, one leftist, and one statist. Two of those answers must be joking

Surely at least one of them is joking. Well actually maybe not. If they get their money via illegal drugs, of course they wouldn't want a libertarian like country. That would make it difficult/impossible for them to get money.
Although, I'd be interested in hearing the reasons.

I'm not a member of any organized political party. I'm a Democrat.

I think they are all idiots. If I HAD to label myself it would be libertarian but I'm sure if they actually had any power they would be as big as douchebags as everyone else.

According to the test Im a liberal. Personaly I don't feel as though none of it matters because even though Im not a conspiracy theorist I don't truely believe we live in a democracy.

^^^ If we lived in a true democracy we'd all be fucked. Look at CA, they want everything in the world but don't want to pay for it. A Republic verses a Democracy allows for a lot of the bullshit to be filtered out (although I am in no way defending THIS Republic).

That is really funny!  ;D
Yeah, they really have became pretty unorganized lately
Half the democrats disagree with the others, etc.
No one has any idea wtf is going on right now on either side from what it seems though.


It would be interesting to see what a libertarian government would be like, I honestly don't think it would be very stable since it is kind of based on the idea that you have the opportunity to fail. This would change a lot of peoples political views and votes when they find themselves poor and in the streets from all the bad choices they've made.

I agree with sedit; America's government is not much of a democracy anymore.  The fact that most of the people on this board (or at least those who responded) are libertarian does not surprise me.  It's the sheer nature of our personalities, being that we have very large gray areas (Drug making is good in this and that situation, stealing is good in this and that situation).  I absolutely clash with people that have large 'black and white' areas.  You know, "stealing is bad all the time, forever!" or "I don't drink under 21 because it's illegal!".

It's easy to get a rough estimate of someone's grey area to black and white area ratio.  Ask them how they feel about seat-belt laws.  I feel it should not be a law, but I will never get into a vehicle without wearing a seat belt.

Yeah the law shouldn't be to protect us from ourselves, it should be to protect others from ourselves, and ourselves from others.

I completely agree because if it was a true democracy then we would be voting on everything and not just electing dumb ass politicians to represent our views which they don't even half the time! I was considered conservative which I would agree with in most situations.

Even if they wish to represent the publics views there are so much red tape put in place by there predecessor that accomplishing the will of the current public is next to impossible. Take Marijuana for instance. Time and time again polls are put out and the majority of the people feel it should be leglized yet because of all the "checks and balances" plus regulations put into place getting it to a legle statues has proven very difficult.

I completely agree. A lot of the time they let their own personal beliefs get in the way so that they are oblivious to what the people want. Health care, for instance. The majority of the United States does not want universal health care and yet they are still trying to push it through. If the people don't want the bill to pass then it shouldn't pass if the politicians really do represent the people
