Not to mention characterizing you and I as professorial types. I mean really, that's pretty spot on, even if our teaching is based on different philosophies.

You're the UVA pipe-smoking, tweed-wearing, conservative history prof. I'm the Cornell, all in black, feminist law prof, who occasionally puts on a suit and louboutins.

Radicalism 88.5
Socialism 50
Tenderness 59.375


These scores indicate that you are a progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with an animal rights activist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a political centrist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with several strong opinions.

Well, "progressive", "left-wing", "skeptical towards religion", "pragmatic" and "idealist" are all fair enough, but you'd have to know very little about communism to call me a communist. And I'm what I guess you'd call a blue-collar worker--far from being a university professor (though I do know enough academic types to know that they are all over the map politically and that whoever wrote this is guilty of flagrant stereotyping).

I'm still not sure what to make of that "People should have faith in what they believe" question. :?
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Damn; I just realized I missed out on university professor in place of animal rights activist. Indeed, if PETA is an example, I'm clearly not an animal rights activist; I did biological research with animals in college and have ordered animal testing on many products in some of my positions. I guess its the idealist in me. :D

Is this in the right thread? :lol:
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Political Values

Radicalism 63.75
Socialism 68.75
Tenderness 40.625

These scores indicate that you are a moderate progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a liberated atheist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as left-wing.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a devoted egalitarian with several strong opinions.

Thats pretty close to the mark.
If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may have misjudged the situation.

Radicalism 39
Socialism 18.75
Tenderness 50

These scores indicate that you are a moderate conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a police officer. It appears that you are accepting of religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as right-wing.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a pragmatist with few strong opinions.

I can't disagree

Gee Gen'l, your new avatar looks like the picture of a budding young future serial killer....

That photo has "disaffected loner" written all over it...

I'm afraid to ask what became of the kittens in the earlier picture.... :?

I think I've watched that DVD, is it with one with John Holmes in it?

Also too:

WTF? How about a human rights activist? Why do they go for "animal rights" as some sort of socio-political identifier? And how is it that I get tagged with animal rights while Econoline gets "university professor?" Not that he doesn't deserve it, but that I come off as some kind of hippie. Harrrumph, I say!

You people who are complaining about being characterized as animal rights activists, should consider that it could have been more insulting...

Here's what poor Long Run got stuck with:
this is the political profile one might associate with a regular person.
I'm still not sure what to make of that "People should have faith in what they believe" question. :?
Yeah that "question" sounds a lot to me like these:

"People should be sure of things they're certain about"

"People should dislike things they find distasteful".....


Really hard to disagree with...
