Oh well...
Oh well...
Jimless is that you?
I prefer to post my results as a set of Cartesian coordinates:
(Economic Left/Right, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian) = (-4.88, -4.41)
Last time I did this, my coordinates were (-5.12, -3.64)
give me a minute, I'll see if I can figure out the linear equation...
Math is FUN and Reading if FUNdaMENTAL
Ha ha ha

Here's mine:
Interestingly enough, the hardest question for me to answer was about the death penalty. Apparently I have no idea if I support the death penalty or not. Guess I need to think about that more.
It's not too hard actually.
Do you value human life above anything else?
well, this is tougher than I remember...
thought I'd find a page where I could just plug in my x's and y's and get the answer but no such luck
and I'm not sure I can even print my picture, let's see:
You can see how much I think of the welfare of my fellow board citizens by my posting a small image that doesn't take up too much space and waste board resources
(still working on that linear equation, all I know is I moved down and to the right, so my slope should be negative)

I drag the image to the post box -which I have left its cursor flashing before doing it.
It does the trick.
OK, where is One Brow when we need him?
Here's what I got for my line: y = -3.21x - 20.07.
I'm a little surprised this board isn't more conservative…but it makes sense.
I'm not. It is all the rage to be liberal on the webs.

I just figured Utah would be more conservative.
/Conservatives are too busy actually making money to post on message boards?

does right mean conservative and left mean liberal?
Also does conservative mean rupublican and liberal mean demacrat?
I think im correct but im not sure..... i know nothing of politics

The answer to that is a clear No. That is, I think there are things worth dying for, such as liberty, freedom, and the protection of our country. Where I'm torn is whether the death penalty serves to accomplish those ideals. Part of me says yes, part say no.
I see it as:
Bottom is liberal and top is conservative on social issues
Left is liberal and right is conservative on economic issues
Most democrats would be in the bottom left quadrant and most republicans would probably be in the top right quadrant. At least, I think so.

I don't think it is an interference for valuing human life above anything else. Anyone with common sense and also faced the actual untimely death of somebody else would realize that most of the ideals worth dying for are nothing, if they don't actually intend to protect human life. What is the soil you step on without its people? What is the church building you go to without its priest and community? What is the meaning of war, if your side is the one flaring the fire up? Anyone who values human life above anything else would die for those humans' lives if there was a case of clear and concrete threat from another, and kill the other in order to secure their lives who he found closer. That doesn't have to mean he did not care for human life. That means he did.

This might be true of the general population but I think most politicians from both parties are in the upper right.
