Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

So..basically...I'm close to Ghandi.

Odd.

Somewhere between Gandhi and the Dalai Lama. Everone's going to roughly the same result, I'd wager. It's kinda what I meant.

Oops..typo. Well, there goes the Firefox spell check.

I guess you might win....on this one point.

I'm a radical! I'm around -8 -7 I think, from last time I took it.

...did it again:
Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.49


Edit: Speaking of the political compass test, here's a similar idea that places you with reference to the various presidential candidates:

It'll even give you a breakdown of the individual candidates' answers to each question.

(I'm right next to Obama)

I was between Hillary and Obama, but closer to Hillary :( I miss him already

I think 'cos I'm more hardcore conservative on same-sex marriage and abortion than him.

Seems Clinton and Obama are basically tied, the former with the bigger states, but Obama with the heavily populated states. I think. Or vice versa.
Edit: Seems McCain's winning.

No, it does not. The only thing that limits you is the few cubic centimeters of gray matter in your head.

People develop their moral code mostly through what their parents/religion/culture/people around them believe in.

And some people don't have the opportunities that other's have because they're lives/situations are different, even if they are equally intelligent.

That's not what I meant. People let things define them, sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's suffocatingly unintentional. Nations, States, Cities, Ethnicity... in the end all that leads a person is his hopes or fears. And we all have more or less the same hopes and fears. People all say some things can not be done, but how do they know what's Possible if they haven't tried the impossible?

no, no...bb I'm talking demographics. People don't let things define them, sometimes they are encouraged by the media/ culture to do things they wouldn't normally do if they were part of a different group.

For example, in Toronto it's a proven stat, that the number of young black males, participating in crime has been steadily increasing. You could say that part of the youth is more motivated to enter a life of crime 'cos the culture somewhat promotes it through the music especially. But you don't see any gangs made up of white middle class women...

Just cos I'm an anarchist doesn't mean I believe that violent revolution will get anybody anywhere. It just provides an opportunity for a different set of leaders, namely the revolutionary leaders, to seize control.

But you do see biker gangs made up of little old ladies. (See the Monty Python sketch Hell's Grannies)
