I guess I'll post a physical picture of my political spectrum since I didn't before.

Yeah, that place is totally biased; especially obvious in the post-test text.

I remember this test, and it's way biased. nearly everyone winds up on the left and towards Libertarian. That's because the test doesn't take into account things like how much you care about a certain topic. If you water it down with a ton of questions about civil liberties that address the same basic topic then it slants the results. I do think there's some truth to the notion that most people are more left-leaning than many would have you believe, but in this test you have to basically lie to wind up near the Authoritarian/Right corner, or just be a complete maniac.

I agree, this thing is biased largely just on the fact that the questions are very leading. On top of that the beliefs that line up with the outlined categories don't necessarily apply to real situations.

Strange, I thought it meant human race.

It's interchangeable when talking about humans.

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I go from post to post making infantile names up for him and bitching about everything he types like he's doing to me?

justdrop, JUST DROP IT!

Hahahaha.

Where should I start? I guess I should forgive you for wishing harm upon any future born or unborn children I have, considering just because they came from me doesn't automatically make them exactly like me, so your childish remarks about wanting my children to be aborted hold no weight.

I'll also forgive you for referring to me as "justdouche." It was the heat of the moment that swept you away. Keep truckin' dude, you're A+ in my book.

Exactly. I think, per example, baseline humans are far superior to the morlock race, which is a degenerate yet distinct offshoot. Likewise, we are probably less superior than mutants, another genetically different race. I can't fly unaided; I usually need some ayahuasca.

Here's mine:

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38

I thought I'd be a little more left than that, but it otherwise seems right to me.
