An extremely American political quiz

Conservative/Progressive score: 7
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 1
You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.
Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 1
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

China's bad labor conditions are not the same as what I am talking about here.

You said "It's silly to be so opinionated about something so distance to ones self." so why doesn't my Chinese example apply?

I guess. Keep in mind being opinionated about something and being against something are two different things.

They really shouldn't. That's one of the things that causes wars, in my opinion.

what a strange forum

Yes, I'm sure that wage slaves everywhere are insulted by me having the opinion that they deserve better living conditions.

Also, you know what someone being offended means? Nothing. It means absolutely nothing. Them being offended doesn't entitle them to shit over me. If someone doesn't like how I believe that creationism shouldn't be taught in school they're going to have to live with it because I don't owe them anything for disagreeing with them.

If they get offended because someone who isn't under their jurisdiction disagrees with them then they are even MORE out of luck.

You ignore the rest of the world because they aren't you. I learn about the rest of the world because they're exactly like me.

Oh and Melan, I never proposed directly intervening in other nations so where did you get the impression that I was trying to physically change what was happening over there? Wild assumptions based on nothing again?

Okay, we were just clarifying our positions.

Are you trying to destroy every ounce of credibility you possess?

On the "invisible hand":

That video was without substance. No points were made aside from semantic ones (which is what Chomsky should stick to).

You despise everyone who doesn't conform to your beliefs, and then you bitch and moan about how other ideologies attempt to force their views on others....just pointing that out.

The men aren't going to do shit about it, and the woman can't do shit about it because no one listens to anything they say. So....how are they going to change such deplorable conditions?

And its insane not to be. We all live on Earth, we are all humans. Thinking, "Oh, its not my problem" is what's going to get the world seriously fucked up one day. In example, I'm positive the Americans of the 30s and 40s thought, "Oh, Germany and Japan are worlds away from us". But how much did that really matter in the end?

Incidentally, Abraham Lincoln also used the term.

That's actually not true at all.

Virtually no one here shares my ideological views. The people I don't get along with are the ignorant, spoiled children, the stereotypically horrible foreigners, and an American who does everything he can to avoid being associated with America.

Good for him?

It's a pinko term these days.

...

You seem to think using the term "wage slaves" is a bad thing, and I'm pointing out that arguably one of our greatest American presidents used it.

Oh yay! Two people out of the millions, perhaps even billions you have stereotyped and attacked based on your strange worldview that puts America at the center of everything. To them, I'm afraid, you are the stereotypically horrible American, and it is people like you that make me ashamed to be an American, even if only in half.

However, it is still a credible and legitimate term when used properly. As Lamp did

I have no idea what you're talking about. Horrible monstrous foreigners are the kind of people that think they're superior because they were born in a country that isn't America. They're the kind of people who LOL at this:

1. Are our gun control laws too strict? - 27% said yes, 73% said no

and can't even understand it. They're the kind of people who are hating on Assassin's Creed 3 simply because it's set in the US. They're the kind of people who can't fathom anyone having fun on Independence Day. They are terrible human beings that deserve our deepest scorn.

Good for them. I don't give a damn what a bunch of lazy-eyed inbred yurotrash thinks about me.

That doesn't make any sense, but I also despise people like you who are "ashamed to be Americans" because the rest of the world is so buttfrustrated at our status as the global hegemon. It's disgusting and cowardly.

The only proper use of the term is when you use it to berate the loathsome reds for their intolerable elitism.

I have a feeling Kali meant something different by that phrase than what it appears on the surface, but I don't know what it is.

EDIT: Maybe not, then.
Although I know what he means, some people hate America a little too much.

To clarify, I don't hate foreign people. I hate foreign people who think they're better than me and the rest of America because they're foreigners. It's truly despicable.

Okay, I just got high and now I can see where you're coming from with this. But that doesn't mean I don't think your views make you an asshole for it.

That's an internal struggle. We were able to get out of that, what makes you think they can't get out of it by themselves? We can't let them become strong while assisting them and sacrificing their independence.

Okay, all I did was express my opinion on the matter. I don't give a shit about whatever the hell you're talking about.

Okay...

You feed men fish, instead of letting them learn how to fish.

See? I can do that too.

@GM Wage slave is a very loaded word, and loaded words don't do well to support your argument, just make it more appealing.

Also I agree with Kali here.
