    lol @ some of the questions

    "A person has the right to claim the Holocaust never happened, if that's what he believes." - WTF

    "Being poor and black is an advantage in getting into college." - o_O

    "

    Nearly everybody has got that result in the end...no matter whether or not they were totalitarian, socialist, centrist or 'democrat'. Seems a bit crap compared to politicalcompass(.org)...

    Also the above quote reminds me of something you'd read in a horoscope. Not specific at all, but it flatters you enough so that you believe it to be true...

    I'm fairly sure it gives you the thing about "a well developed sense of right and wrong" no matter what you get.

    My real score was democrat...about as far left as it would get though.

    I did a test though..just to check the "right and wrong" thing... I managed to land it right on Darth Vader's head and it still said I have a well developed sense of right and wrong..:rolleyes:

    "I would dictate that paying by cheque in the express lane at the supermarket be punishable by death"


    I'll take Libertarian. I like to think I lean a little on the socialist side economically, but socially, I'm definitely libertarianesque.

    I wonder how they define 'socially permissive'? That's an arguable criterion in the US.
