    The following are your scores. They are based on a gradual range of 0 to 12. For instance, a Conservative/Progressive score of 3 and 0 will both yield a result of social conservative, yet 0 would be an extreme conservative and 3 a moderate conservative

    Conservative/Progressive score: 8
    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: 12
    You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.


    Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2
    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: 4
    You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

    Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Democrat

    They seem to assume a lot of stuff about questions they never even asked, and on some things give me the exact opposite of what I chose.

    [IMG]
    I clearly chose that I supported abortion completely, and anything regarding religion was never even mentioned in the quiz. Also, I am an atheist.

    [IMG]
    I specifically voted "no" for the question on whether I think minimun wage should be raised. They assumed I think the government should provide everyone with a job.


    [IMG]
    How the hell does it come to the conclusion that I don't like the 2nd ammendment? I fully support it. And I voted that marijuana should be legalized and the government should not censor the violence and pornagraphy stuff.


    [IMG]
    I specifically voted yes for every question that asked should the US invade X Y or Z. I voted yes on whether or not I think the defense budget should be lowered.

    Hey look! It got something right!

    It's a highly important subject, particularly when it comes to micro organisms, to say otherwise is blatantly ignorant. No one is saying that we teach it as fact, but rather that biology students should be made aware of its existence and that they should be exposed to its position so they can judge its merits on their own.

    He's talking about in public schools, where in my opinion religion should have no place. If you want to learn religion in school, there are catholic schools and free Sunday schools.

    Irreducible complexity has been debunked years ago, so why would the scientific community give it any attention?

    Creationism is a religion, and you want it to be taught next to science as an alternative. Now that is some crazy shit.

    I personally believe they should teach you both and give you the option to choose which you believe in. Religion should definitely have a place in public schools so a child can be introduced to both sides and then choose what he/she believes in.
    Creationism is not a religion. What is wrong with letting others believe what THEY want to believe?

    I agree with General Mosh Religion in public school will cause a bunch of B.S. Also GOC let the CHILD grow up and figure it out.

    Why not let them be introduced at an early age? I don't see any harm. In fact being introduced at an early age to both sides gives the child more time to think about it. Also, putting just Science in, is basically forcing the child to believe in Evolution and not Creationism (Which I don't believe in). So, just let them think themselves.
    Also, why did you capitalize child?

    But you're not introducing the child. You can't teach the child both sides, and the teacher will always be biased to some view or another. I've never known a completely unbiased teacher. Teaching religion in school is unnecessary, it is the parents decision whether or not to teach their kid religion. The kid will then grow up, look into it himself, and form his own opinions. The school being in there won't allow the kid to really form his own opinions.

    You seem to be misunderstanding my point, I'm not talking about forcing the scientific community to accept a concept out of some inane sense of 'fairness'. I'm talking about exposing biology students to the concept so they can run it through a process of scientific evaluation and decide upon its merits. Intellectual exercise is a vital part of education, and while a large part of irreducible complexity has been debunked there still remains a good deal of discussion around micro organisms, so I don't see why we should deny students the opportunity to explore that particular subject.

    No I don't.
    I have absolutely no idea where you're getting the impression that I'm a theist. Anyone who's been here long enough has probably seen me pronounce my agnosticism more than once.

    That has been debunked to. There is a bacteria that evolved a way to eat PCP, and they way they do it is irreducibly complex.


    Misread a post. My bad.

    You just ignored the bulk of my post which, consequently, means you ignored the overall point I'm trying to get across here....
