    Christ, I'm getting more left-wing the older I get.

    Its usually the opposite!!

    I've been told I'm becoming more radical the older I'm getting, and I'm a lefty, so I dunno

    It's based on US politics, where if you're not forelock tugging to the market and billionaires you're a goddamned commie.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Me and ghandi are roughly the same person aparantly.
    Did you know he wouldn’t let his wife take anti biotics because it was English medicine and thought water from the Ganges river was the only medicine she needed. She died.

    Later he got sick and decided maybe it’s ok to have a little penicillin.

    Legend.

    Yeah I've definitely slid to the right, but that still means left of centre as I used to be extremely left-wing.

    Gave up on Page 4.

    Closed out before the end due to poor attention span and no option for 'none of the above'

    Thatcher contributed to protecting the environment by closing coal mines and banning CFCs. But she also helped Pol Pot wipe out 2 million people.

    I found it to be a very black and white exercise. I'd like a bit more scope with the answers. I must have a look for other ones.

    Like most of the internet if there is no apparent mention of what country it is from or about then it is safe to assume it is applicable to the US and at best a curiosity for the rest of the planet.

    A left-wing result on that for anyone who isn't American says little other than you are not nuts.

    The first 2 questions are as far as you need to go
    If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

    Answering that in the negative doesn't classify someone as right-wing, it classifies them as a wannabe bond villain... or a brainwashed Yank.


    I’d always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.

    Reasons to agree with that:

    You live in a fascist dictatorship where dissent is punished by imprisonment, torture and death.

    or

    You live in a supposedly free country where patriotism is rammed down your throat from birth to the extent that the idea you should support something you know to be wrong is perfectly reasonable as long as it is pro-American.

    really . i find these questions to be too vague and open to interperation.
    questions like are businesses too regulated. its hard t answer that. in ways yes they are but intother they are not such as advertising and packaging waste etc

    Say if there was a graph with only a bit of fun on one side and everything has to be really serious on the other. Where would you land.

    thats my point. i would say in he middle somewhere. just like most people
    i like some fun thngs and dislike other .

    these quewtions should be along the lines of
    would you leave your job and go back packing around asia for 6 months with 1000 euro to your name. most wouldnt do that

    Like myself, nearly everyone who has ever shown me their results for this test has had a result in the green square. It seems you need to have fairly extreme political stances (by today's standards in Ireland) to land far away from it.
