  • errrr...it means that you and ben are not libertarians. you are basically a fascist and bk is a rather extreme religious conservative.

    now that i've stated the bleeding obvious for you, go and try to defend your position in that other thread!

      Two thumbs up if you wholly agree, and so forth.
      I took this one... eh, you have some very different political issues from us in the US. Also, a lot of them are relative and I'm not sure where the Netherlands stands compared to the US. For example, the one about it should be easier for companies to fire employees... in most US states, employment is at-will so it can not get easier to fire employees because companies can do it anytime they want for no cause.

      I don't know. I ended up in commie territory:

      • I didn't understand most of that test and still ended up in the far upper left quadrant.

        • Yeah, I don't want my government to do more to help needy Americans. The United States is a rich country. I say, let the Americans help themselves!

          BTW apparently, I'm a Libertarian. Yeah, I'm not a Libertarian.

            First and foremost, that is NOT commie territory. That is more or less dead center of politics. Commie territory would be close to SP. Myself, I was placed more or less dead centered between the Dutch Christian Democrats(CU), the shield on the other side of the vertical line and the PVV. But I'm not sure I understood some of the questions, so lots of salt should be taken.

              • It's interesting how you guys all end up in the middle. I always end up with the pro-entrepreneur party on the right, VVD. And the circle is tiny.

                  So what is this about, Ben? No Muslims allowed in the EU?

                    Yet I'm more progressive and left wing?

                    Guess the whole Americans are all far right-wing by the standards of Europe thing aint so concrete... our political spectrum is just different than yours.

                        The capital is.

                        We all know the real reason why Turkey isn't in the EU, yet. It's not because of geographical pedantry. It's because of that scary specter of Islam.

                          No, the capital of Turkey is in Asia Minor. I guess they don't teach much geography in schools in the ghetto.

                          Anyway, unless people are claiming that Albania will never be in the EU your claims of islamophobia are baseless.

                            I've been playing too many games set in the Ottoman past, clearly.

                            Istanbul, the largest city, is in Europe.

                            • I never understood the obsession with those tests. The earlier one ("post-modern" -lol) was rather stupid. But aside from this, how did people know what kind of politics they'd buy into before online tests were available??!? They probably had no idea of anything and just made voting some kind of lottery.

                                Referendum on present conditions... stance on a particular hotbed issue with a lot of press traction... perception of character/ability...

                                Most people probably aren't consistent in a manner that they could be fully represented by a particular party platform, anyway.
