Are you more conservative than Ben Kenobi

[MrFun]

[Berzerker]

1 bd, conscription is immoral and inferior to a voluntary force

2 ac, off with the king's head? But I dont know the best form of government

3 a

4 bd. but if you find Christ first you sure as hell wont be needing any church
and church may or may not be biblical but according to those people they had actual contact with God and the temple was God's abode and eventually became a place to worship an absent God. Now its mere symbolism... Organized religion is an oxy moron.

5 ab, but my interpretation is that Jesus is the way to God by following his teachings - deeds matter

6 d, man is capable of good and evil - and the Bible's God sure aint no role model

7 how does b work? I'd go with a over d, I'm not a fan of "the consequences" faced by critics of certain ideological types.

8 I agree more with the sentiment than the options, even our illegal immigration gets food picked etc. Generally I'm for open immigration made easy but thats not gonna happen with the warmongers in control of foreign policy.

9 speaking of warmongers, bc

10 I'd go with b (consumption tax), that way foreign and domestic goods get taxed equally

[Ben Kenobi]

This is how I'll score you based on what I know about you and your positions.

5b?! Really. That's interesting you'd select that one. Thought for sure you'd pick a. Ok. You like the neighbourliness? Ok.

1 d.
2 a.
3 a.
4 d.
5 b.
6 d.
7 a.
8 a.
9 b.
10 b.

With this:

Berzerker, you are 1 point more conservative than Ben Kenobi.

hey bk! first post of yours i've read since a while

ugh, badly made test. the options are not mutually exclusive

1. abc, but I guess b is what you mean
2. ac, I guess you're looking for c
3. ad -> a. It depends on the circumstances of the society whether free market capitalism is the most "efficient" market system to use. Also: What a ****ing monster quote. have you ever read Kant in German, by any chance?
4. abd --> **** you, horribly created options
5. d I guess, I don't agree with any of the statements fully.
6. acd, it'd be c but you're probably thinking those people who believe human nature can be improved by legislation and government decisions when making this option, and i'm not that idealistic. society can transform invididuals into better or worse people by their habits, and can't change their nature. so... d?
7. a
8. haha, bcd. i guess you're looking for b, but illegal immigration can be beneficial. it really depends on the invidiuals who immigrate to their new country. native population decides the laws which dictate who is "legal" and who "illegal" in order to keep newcomers which might destroy them out.
9. b, but also d. you can't spread democracy or "liberty" at a gunpoint, it'll grow out from the will of the local people if it's ever to grow.
10. a

[Ben Kenobi]

How would you improve the options? I'm very interested in suggestions. Lemme score you.

[RGBVideo]

1) by making them consistent within themselves, each option only contains one viewpoint so you can't agree with one claim within 1 option but disagree with it's premise
2) by making them mutually exclusive
3) if you're thinking about making more tests, by making them easier to read and understand

[Ben Kenobi]

The test is simply trying to get people to look at it and say "which is the best option" that more closely resembles what you believe, without asking "have you stopped beating on your neighbour" questions. Most people, myself included, have reasons to agree with 2 and sometimes parts of three questions, but one will stand out more than the others.

Hmm, lemme pm you before scoring you.

[Berzerker]

5b?! Really. That's interesting you'd select that one. Thought for sure you'd pick a. Ok. You like the neighbourliness? Ok.

I should have explained a bit more, I picked a and added b because Jesus' teachings are more universal than religion specific. People can be "Christ-like" never hearing of the guy, people of any religion, or no religion, can be christian in how they treat others. I think Jesus dealt with that reality when he said it doesn't matter if those who do good are among his disciples/followers, their deeds speak for them.

Yup, I'm a fan of neighborly neighbors

[Ben Kenobi]

That's a. Rats.

Berzerker, you are exactly as conservative as Ben Kenobi.

"The Force will be with you Always"

[Berzerker]

I doubt it I'm way off on the left when it comes to social issues

what are your picks?

what did Jesus say about strangers who do good? I was kinda paraphrasing the verse as I remember it.

You are 2 points more conservative than Ben Kenobi!

can't believe i spent the time to answer that PM

theories of governmental models can be interesting. you'll make an history teacher out of yourself one day BK, don't give up and quit with overt politics in the academia!

[Ben Kenobi]

Thanks! You totally made my day.

[DaShi]

History is one of the easiest subjects to teach. I used to teach history to give myself a break. If Ben can't do it now, there's no chance.
