Just taking a poll, basically.

I dont get it.
it would be nice if any of those options really meant anything doodthing;
Who's the communist?
I wouldn't call anarchy left nor right.
Anarchy = anything goes. There's rules to liberalism, too.
i dunno
move this to the lobby
Middle left for me. caterpie;
I don't place myself on the"right - left" spectrum.
I said centered because I really just don't give a shit about anything. I know, it's not healthy.
After actually thinking about it though, I'm pretty sure my opinions on certain things lean towards the right side. I don't really know though. All I can really do is give my opinions on specific topics, I'm not good with placing my entire mind into one setting. That just seems like a dumbass move to me.

Um. Why? You must have some sort of standing on issues...

I do, I just don't see it in linear terms.

Ah. Okay, so you don't want to be judged on by only left and right. That's understandable I guess.
Fuck political spectrum. It's all BS. They all want larger Gov't and more taxes anyways. Its just how they go about doing it.

Correct. I don't identify with liberals or conservatives.

I am confused... how can you just say fuck political spectrum? Everyone fits somewhere on it. >_> There are tests everywhere on the internet that will tell you where you fit in. Although it is true that pretty much all politicians want larger government it doesn't mean you don't fit somewhere.

This isn't about "I'm right/left winged because all of this". Like, if you were a total neo-con but you thought gay marraige should be legal, you'd still be right.
Generally anyone can fit on here.

Which is why this political spectrum doesn't work at all. There are way more political stances than "liberal" and "convervative", and the definitions of right and left are so vague as to be completely meaningless. The 2D political grid theory is a little bit more useful but still doesn't accurately describe where you stand.

The internet said so, it must be true! In unrelated news, I have an IQ of 340!
Well, I know it's not totally accurate, I was just polling everyone...

although its not really accurate because on a lot of questions it was situational

Way to generalize. The tests are for the most part correct, because left/right wingers tend to believe certain ideas. If you believe these ideas then you fall into the category; no matter how broad the category may be. If you think you fit a bit in both then you are center.
...It's the equivalent to being tall, medium, or short. You have to fall somewhere, even if there may be more details such as weight that are not being considered.

But I do support socialism. jsr;
I took JMV's test, and I got right on the line between Capital Democrat and Republican.
Hmm. I decided to take the one JMV took... It was kind of hard. A lot of the choices I debated over, but in the end this is where I was put.
