I came between Hillary and Bill Clinton. Does that make me Monica Lewinsky? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]


I always thought I was more left wing [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Dreamer128 05-01-2003 07:03 AM

I got 10.. but hey, I'm Dutch. You know the Dutch right? The people from that 'Socialist Hellhole' ;)

Gangrell 05-01-2003 07:11 AM

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Bah, 15, I'm Bill Clinton [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Stratos 05-01-2003 08:31 AM

<font color='white'> Indeed. :D

I got a 20, even with Colin Powell. </font>

Stormymystic 05-01-2003 09:39 AM

i scored a 19 putting me one behind colin powell...is that a bad thing?

Ramon de Ramon y Ramon 05-01-2003 09:54 AM

I tried to pass off as as conservative as I possibly could, outcome: 9/100.


Spoiler warning:


What amused me most though, was the following segment from the explanation of the scoring method used:

Quote:

3. Any of the following gets 1 point (for a maximum of 3 points):
Doctors
Business Executives
Team Owners

These answers score 0 points:
Trial Lawyers
Union Leaders
Professional Athletes

Liberals favor trial lawyers over doctors, and workers over executives because they tend to
distrust businessmen and favor their workers and advocates.
Professional athletes!? Sure, a professional athlete making millions a year for basically the privilege of having turned his hobby into his profesion is the likeliest of all types of employees to rouse my protective liberal instincts against him cruelly being exploited by his greedy and unscrupulous employers!

Otherwise, a fun quiz, if far more entertaining than instructive. [img]smile.gif[/img]

RdRyR, it's not out of 100, it's out of 40.

I scored 18, and I consider myself a conservative, oops! Anywhoo, Thankfully I'm closer to Colin than any Clinton!

Thorfinn 05-01-2003 03:51 PM

Who do I trust more, the executive or the legislative branch? Jeez, why not ask who I trust with my retirement more, Andrew Fastow or Ken Lay...

Timber Loftis 05-01-2003 04:07 PM

Well, Thorfinn, I found myself vexing over that one as well. I wish they had the judicial branch on the list. Oddly, I chose to trust doctors more than trial lawyers - though I think only the bad eggs in each group is UNtrustworthy. But, I trust the hipocratic oath more than lawyers' ethical rules - though both are pretty serious (if I understand the hipocratic oath, that is).

Wellard, I demand you come here and help me clean this spittle off of my computer screen. [img]graemlins/1drinkspit.gif[/img]

Oh, I'm a 22, between Colin Powell and Bush41. I'll round down, if'n you don't mind. ;)

FelixJaeger 05-01-2003 04:18 PM

Arh Wellard i didnt wanna be a Monika Lewinsky as well!
Stupid 13's...

Thorfinn 05-01-2003 06:19 PM

I had to mark a whole bunch of things I didn't like at all. I don't believe either of the solutions proposed will make a hill of beans difference in campaign fairness. I have no idea why our government treats married people differently than single people, let alone why they should disallow some people from being married if they so choose. I think you could best reduce violent crime by letting anyone, at any time, walk into a gas station and buy a firearm without producing a scrap of ID.

And I left quite a few blank.

I got a 32.

I would assume leaving them blank would count as a "0". Thorfinn probably would have gotten a 45 if he'd filled them all in. [img]graemlins/evilhaha.gif[/img]
The above-quoted statement is so [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] it isn't even funny, and some would consider it a flame. However, I assume you have some reason for feeling this way, and I will hope you'll one day explain it in another thread. The idea of an armed robber getting out of jail and going straight to a gas station to buy a gun to do it all again (what other *real* options has he got) is a notion that springs to mind.

Thorfinn 05-01-2003 07:31 PM

Really? Some would consider it a flame? I could see it as troll-bait, but flame?

Would you really like me to write up a brief article explaining my thoughts, and use that as the intro post to start a new thread? I'll do so if anyone would be interested. Its just that most people I talk to don't even want to listen to such heresies...

Lioness 05-01-2003 07:56 PM

11.... Hillary? bah. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

isn't it funny the lawyer is one of the more conservative?

btw i got 18!

antryg 05-01-2003 11:02 PM

Oh the price of cynicism. In my youth I was starry-eyed and optimistic. Now I take this test and score 24. All of this just because I don't trust.

Attalus 05-01-2003 11:09 PM

I'm 37, and I want to know where I went wrong. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
