I ended up with 66% Social Liberal and
33 % Economic Liberal... which puts me close to a Centrist when you sum it up

Thats where my friend was... I'm assuming you are like the corner of democrat and centrist?

Since parents can't be trusted ??? What kind of cow dung is that?

I got SOCIAL MODERATE 50%

ECONOMIC LIBERAL 33%

OVERALL RANKING CENTRIST

There are many of these quizes out there and they give different results ..as questions are bias to the left or the right.

So would it be biased because you didnt get what you want. Also, most of them are meant with practical considerations aside.... are you really stupid enough to not be able to answer..

Should TV content be more regulated, and ignore that first clause?

Isn't it bedtime kiddo???

Even though democrats are demented, would you vote for Hillary?

Now if you can answer THAT question (putting aside the first part) and consider that a fair question... awe maybe when your older you'll understand.

I've been trying to ignore this guy but its kinda like tring to ignore a fog horn at 2 am in the morning while your tring to sleep.

Just because he's a kid doesn't make him intellectually inferior. Judging by the content of some of your posts, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you were a kid yourself.

If it were between a person with a brain (Hillary) and a person without one (Bush)... :roll:

But even the Dems know that Hillary is a lost cause, so it's a moot point, innit?

Still bringing out your sweet personality and your open-minded beliefs I see jayboy. Stop picking on Kyle with words like kiddo, kid etc... They don't do you any credit whatsoever.
He maybe young but I must say that he is very political enlightened (and thats not a majority amongs kids today - this should be encouraged - not tried silenced with cheap remarks) and it must be hard for someone like you that Kyle at the age of (16 is it Kyle?) probably knows more about how the world functions as a whole (I'm thinking in a broad perspective here) than you do.

You remind of those people back in the really old days jayboy that claimed the Earth was flat - no matter what other people said - because they believed it so strongly that any other factor they just disregarded completly. They where not especially enlightened.

Hope you can get some sleep even with the fog horn bothering you :-)

Best wishes from Augusta

I expect nothing less then "2 birds of a feather flocking together". So why bother posting? It doesn't matter if this kids in the right or wrong...YOU as a liberal will back him every time.

I noticed you did not respond to him saying "can you really be that stupid not to be able to ignore the first part and just answer the second part".

IF THE FIRST PART, distorts the second part, NO! But good ole Auguta played her leftist role well and IGNORED that fact. Give me a break. Augusta I think its time to dismount the horse. Either talk to me like a decent human being (without all the condecention) or don't speek to me at all. And before you bring up ME condecending to rev-kyle..... the age difference allows for that, especially when this 16 year old wants to come off as he is more politically grounded then I when I've been following politics longer than he's been alive.

Although you might agree that conservatives are Nazi's. :wink:

I've been to his homepage and quite frankly its was frustrating at first - but after scrolling all the way down to antartica (it was very much scrolling Kyle :-)

) I started to fine the homepage a little cool.

He is young and he will make such statements (not always profound ones). You obviously are old (at least older by a margin) and you should now better.

Of course I don't believe conservatives are nazi's - only when they take their political convictions to far out to the right. But you seem to think at every liberal or centrist is a socialist. Thats also not correct ;-)

I find good and bad ideas, beliefs, convictions, philosophies and actions on both sides. I don't look upon the world in just black or white (not race I'm talking about). But then I'm not so set in my ways as you are. I will never be that.

The ONLY people who want hilary as a nominee are the republicans. The same sort of way democrats want Condoleeza. Because they both suck. MOst democrats will put their support behind Mark Warner, Barack OBama, Russ Feingold(Hell yes)...etc...

You may have been following politics as long as I've been alive, but I bet I've studied more politics and political theory, history, etc... in the past year as you have in your entire life. Tell me how many times youve read books by philosophers as Ayn Rand, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Immanuel Kant, Frederiche Nietszche, and John Rawls in your life. Oh you haven't read anything by any of them. Maybe you should learn a little bit more and not be so brainwashed by your Republican Gov't.

I've actually been thinking about that. Moving up to Boston(never would win in Idaho) and running for office.

If you are refering to capital punishment.... we use lethal injection in NY, and whereas many republicans are in favor of the death penalty I am not. Life should be protected from conception to grave. Now most libs are for sparing the life of people who commit hanis crimes yet are in favor of killing innocent babies..... you guys have such heart! :roll:

Actually you will see that MOST liberals are not FOR abortion. They are FOR the right of a woman to do it. It is all a small government theory, we shouldn't interfere with their right to choose waht they do with their body. Its also more of a value of quality of life. If your parents don't want you, you will have a shitty life abuse and all that shit. Not to mention that it will happen anyways. Have you seen the pictures of coat hanger abortions. Thos happen alot more than you think in states where its illegal. By legalizing it all your allowing it to be is safe.

Next issue...Euthanasia, what if someone WANTS to die.
