not unless you voted. the purpose of this thread is to satisfy my curiosity as to what the distribution of political views on this forum are, in terms of left/right.

These shortie - made for the internet forums kind of quizzes - do show us....

How truly empty some polls actually are.

If you consider the individual differences in each of the responders there would have to be at least 100 degrees of variance and certainly with the "four answers only" quiz....we all appear the same because none of us are so far from civilized society we would fall off any chart presented here.

An indepth questioning of personality and traits and "leanings" are far more complicated and yet we continue to read them in the media all the time as if they are based on fact.

They are the prime filler in empty space/air to get peoples' attention and certainly do not tell anything
close to the reality of a group-think.

Besides it's comforting to be "with a group" and for most that is the primary motivator in answer selection, unless a hot button question pops up and then you may see a spark of truth flare up.

Was there a question about capital punishment (yes or no)..... on the quiz? That's a flamer. Or a question on abortion rights. Another hot diggety dang.

I can't access the political quiz except for page one so can't replicate the questions now... but look how we are all cuddled towards the center of the 1-10 extreme to moderate list.....that's a public answer.

Private answers tend to be more forthright.
How true. I would like to know if anyone answered that quiz without stopping at questions and wondering how the questions would effect their score. Everyone did. No one wanted to be Karl Marx or Pat Robertson.

The whole schema of the poll indicates we are robotic thinkers .... yes or no ....up or down....and the variant degrees are in no way clarified as to accurate measurement.....grump grump grump

Karl Marx was a brilliant man whose contributions are much respected and studied all over the planet he has been read for a century and a half,whatever anybodys feelings about him might be he remains in print and relavant, Pat Robertson is at best a christian witch doctor whose work inspires the worst
sort of superstition, he's positively scum of the earth and does not belong on the same page.
So nobody wants to be a Karl Marx eh, id trade my pathetic brain for half of his any day, and Pat Robertson can rot in hell for all eternity.:pukeright::angry6::evil3:

But he is the major reason of ALL WARS since 1920.

And i think the world would have been almost the same today without him. In a mean that we would have evolute and make a more cleaver capitalism even without him. If i'm wrong about this, than Marx did a good thing for MANKIND and he was a godsend.

I agree with you. but i dont think that makes the poll meaningless. It examines an aspect of people's thinking. It surely does not set out to fully define us. Just give people an idea of one aspect of our minds.

Very few want to label themselves extremist on a public poll.

Were the poll totally private only showing the color bar graphs I think there would be more variance.

hehe what's the new one? i dont recognise it.

This poll is essentially private. It WOULD be possible to work it out if u hung out in the thread for a while watching who was reading and when the votes appeared, but no-one's that sad or that worried about somone seeing their vote, would they?
