Anyone ever visit this site, http://www.politicalcompass.org/ ? I've gone there before and it appears my views are still relatively the same as they were a couple years back when I took the test. Since there seems to be a severe split on this site between the 'liberals' and 'conservatives', this might be an enlightening experience for some. Many of the questions are easily answered with little thought, but some might make you think a while. I apologize ahead of time if someone has already posted this before. It just seems relevant with all the party line bickering that goes on.

Great site and test Hill! Looks like I will have to go down to the courthouse and change party affiliations! I thought I was a liberal, turns out me and the Dalai Lama, and Gandhi have alot in common, were all three libertarians! lol

I would have guessed that more people would have been interested in this site since almost every discussion is mistaken for politics. OR, this might have been posted before. There is nothing wrong with political discussion, in my opinion, mind you; it's just a shame that tempers can get the way they do over it.

I think people like to debate individual issues, but to debate a person's general outlook is a little too personal.

I think that is a valid point. I didn't really want any sort of debate to spring from this. Really, I was just wanting those that were interested to check the site out. I have no intentions of sharing my exact plot point, according to the test. I just thought it was neat.

Heh, I came out dang near in the very center, but just slightly to the left and slightly libertarian. Guess I'm a certified fence sitter.
