I thought it was because he was such a fine poster.
[Arrador] possesses a considerable understanding of ship configurations, strengths and weakness. He gives clear and purposeful instructions, is good at taking advantage of the fleet-composition he's dealt, and never loses sight of the main goal: fun. This, paired with an excellent tolerance for strong drink gives him an almost Churchillian capability to win, despite being completely pissed on booze most of the fleet operation.
Ha! I'm Purple!

I'm apparently the standard left/libertarian, but I think the app is flawed due to the lack of neutral stances. The things which I don't care about or thought had nothing to do with politics usually were answered with a left/libertarian answer because the opposite wouldn't have been representative of my view.
In real life I'm a social progressive and economic centrist.
Well, that too I guess. Back in the day there was not that many tv stations in Iceland. For free at-least, so I watched sometimes the Christian station late at night, while smoking some fine grass and playing civ. Jimmy always seemed drunk on whiskey and was playing the piano and singing like a boss. I just liked the guy I guess.
What, no Lazy Town?

I would've liked a "Pass" or "No Opinion" option too - a few questions just weren't relevant imo
It is a bit strange - I've always considered myself centre-left, so fair enough, but I'm surprised at the libertarian score.

Cant get much closer to center than that.

I've taken this thing like ten times over the years and the results have varied a bit (and a few of the questions have been updated) but I've always been pretty close to the bottom-left. Clearly the most rigorous and scientific of web-polls.
http://politicalcompass.org/printabl...6.88&soc=-6.92
Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92
/edit: what a mess this thing is. But I'm the most Libertarian of all ya'lls, I guess.
#1 Oh look! Men discussing how to legislate women's health rights. On the internet, no less. Abortion discussion worth a thread lock IMO; they go nowhere.
#2 I disagree that we are in dire straights. The USA is in an extremely rapid decline of person-on-person violent crime - but nobody would believe that because every week you see a mass shooting somewhere. In the USA you have people losing their jobs - but every person I knew who lost their job since 2008 was either a fluff position, bad at their job, lazy or just didn't care about their work. My wife does hiring for a big company and trust me the general public is just as much to blame for not having a job as Goldman Sachs is.
#3 I can't even believe the shit Romney says on stage that people applaud. I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.
http://politicalcompass.org/printabl...1.12&soc=-2.92
I wish they'd include neutral answers. I'd like a goldilocks option.
also and #4 those political compass tests are completely worthless as people generally take positions based on their perceived experience, even when it is wrong. hippies don't understand what happens when the other side doesn't want to talk it out; so their entire perceived experience of problem solving does not include violence. same goes for the military solider, but in reverse. your life experience will dictate your political leanings in a big way most of the time. people also change as they age.
Take questions like "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Well okay, the answer is yes? But what if the enemy of my enemy is also raping my other friends? What if my enemy has legally been denied certain things that a court has ruled I may not interfere with? Boiling down a political ideal into a small sentence in order to reveal some deeply held political belief is flawed, in my opinion.
You should run for President. You talk like one of them guys that do.

The answer is actually no. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. Anything more than that and you end up in quagmires in south-east Asia.
Enemy. That's a funny word. Eeeeeenemy. Enemy enemy enemy. Heh.
The enemy of my enemy is my servant.
I think you meant "my" answer is yes. I said "no," apparently jimmy also said "no."
So yeah, I don't think anyone is taking this thing as gospel (see what I did there?), but what makes it interesting is seeing how completely opposite individual beliefs can be. Like, personal core beliefs of people you talk to daily.
The enemy of my enemy can suck it.
Or with military dictatorships in South America.
Or tied up in costly nation nation building exercises off the Persian Gulf.
Or chasing bearded terrorists who got their training wheels removed in failed states in central Asia.
Or watching as the middle east prepares to descend into intercine ethnic warfare.
In fact, you think by now people would have realised that "the enemy of my enemy" is an especially retarded proposition.
The enemy of my enemy is temporarily useful.
Nothing is absolute. The enemy of my enemy can be friend or foe, its all situational. He may even be my friend in one theater, and my enemy in another, the world is a complicated place.

Like France.
I have angered Fartman, his mighty roar, a single 'derp' can be found on my rep sheet.
I tend to agree, but if there's one thing I've learned from world politics it's that having people to blame is very important, as enemies to provide an external source of trouble to distract from your being a shitbird, and as allies of convenience you can blame for failing to destroy your enemies because that was never a realistic option. It's kept various otherwise useless people in power for generations, after all.
Yep, sometimes your best friend is the one that tells you: WTF are you doing, this is gonna blow up in your face.Like France.
Even though you hate him for it. He is a better friend then all those yes men that only say yes because of that Army base they want to keep in their country.
The enemy of my enemy is my meatshield and cannon fodder.

There was some ultra-tea party organization that showed up at my school yesterday, and I accidentally made eye contact with someone working the booth and was dragged in for a survey.
It appears that I am a Statist, and was the closest to Stalin out of all respondents.

Well there's no point picketing at FIRST AMALGAMATED UNIVERSITY OF ARE LORD JESUS H CHRIST OF SOUTHERN CORPUS CHRISTI, they're already on your side. Gotta get out there and convert unbelievers and science-y types :bahgawd:
LOL . Don't take me seriously. That was entirely a smart assed comment.
Ronald Reagan used to brag that he could incite a riot simply by stepping onto a University of California campus.
To late to back out now, you apparently have some thing against cheese eating surrender monkeysLOL . Don't take me seriously. That was entirely a smart assed comment.
This is where Dunarad would come in and say: Fuck you, you annoying lap dog of a country. We would carpet bomb you if you were not in NATO.
The French have always liked us though, us being a tiny thorn in the side of the UK amuses them I guess.

Hey look, another GOP quitter quits. Sarah Palin is probably pissed that another quitter is getting more attention than her.

So evidently the republicans dont know when to stop talking about rape and abortion:

EDIT: For specifics, Ryan says that rape is just another method of conception...

Oh come on not this bullshit again.
Dear US Politicians,
Hey hi shut up about rape thanks.
Yours in good faith,

God fucking dammit if this whole election is about abortion I'm moving to Canada.
Should probably move to Canada anyway, I hear It's beautiful in autumn, and the hockey season starts soon!
Yeah but I heard they drink milk from a bag.
Hey, if they want to throw the election, I'm cool with that.

On the other side, our president just said that if weapons of mass destruction where to be found in syria we'll carpet-bomb the shit out of it. (We'll most probably do the same shit as the last 30 years and continue arming coptes in Lebanon tho.)
The Akin issue hasn't budged polling data because it isn't changing anyones minds. Democrats are throwing their hands in the air saying look at this and Republicans are saying so what. Both sides are now firmly entrenched and nothing is going to budge them so we are left with the 8-10% which haven't declared. This percentage of people are usually the ones who are dumb enough to not pay attention to anything political and will vote for the guy who seems the most confident during debates.
These are the people who are dumb enough to see a single political ad on TV and think... yeah, that does it for me. So, who knows how it will turn out but it won't be based on any issues.
I've noticed that there's a pretty big disconnect between the general consensus of kugu and what's actually happening. It seems enough people have said it in this thread that people are taking it as fact.
Sadly true, worldwide.
