So fellow LGC members just how Liberal are you?

We have a few threads like this I believe all regulars are lower left quadrant.

-3.75,-4.5

-9, -6.77

The questions are entirely too deeply rooted in contemporary American politics, but I'm guessing my score is probably about right.

I just thought it would be interesting to see how far some people got into the green square ,or hell even the purple one
oh and i forgot mine
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

-9.25, -6.21

-4.50, -4.56 - on all these tests I seem to be in the upper right of the lower left quadrant.

guess I am in a 'fuck it' sort of mood today

I dont want to talk about it

Fuck it!
O strongly disagree

-9/-6. 72

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

I simply put disagree, because I don't know if being gay is choice or not, because i'm not gay. What I do know is this, Whether it's a choice or not, is entirely irrelevant to anything.

Economic Left/Right: -9.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

I'm -10 something. I don't remember the second number but it's about 1/2 way down towards libertarian.

Yep, I'm still the Reactionary member of this merry band of radicals.

Pretty deep in the bottom left....

Economic Left/Right: -8.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

I probably would score further into the Social Libertarian side, but I don't like absolutes (or at least admitting to them) so I clicked agree or disagree more than strongly agree or strongly disagree.

It seems that I am a left leaning libertarian! Go figure!

Left libertarian and right libertarian are two WHOLLY different things.

I allready did it but took it again to see if anything changed.
It didn't.
- 9.62
-6.10

Fukshot was right. The questions are too rooted in our contemporary political culture.

:yawn:Another left libertarian checks in. Anyone thinking of changing the name of the organization to the Libertarian Liberal Gun Club (LLGC). Just joking.

-6.56 Left/Right - I'm more of a social democrat than a socialist
-8.02 Authoritarian/Libertarian - gay marriage, drugs, guns and porn for everyone! \o/


These tests are all kinda dorky, in my opinion, because they completely ignore any nuance in positions.

For example, I'm convinced that prohibitive gun laws do nothing to reduce crime. I don't think limiting fully automatic weapons has kept them from the hands of people who intend to do harm and break laws. However, if I were an elected official, I wouldn't waste any political capital on repeals of the '34 and '68 gun laws because those are just part of the base political landscape. Do they work? In my opinion no, but it would be a waste of my effort to repeal them against public opinion that would be better applied on other things, like nation-wide CCW reciprocity.

Let's face it, only us gun nuts want fully auto weapons to be legal. Most Americans, and dare I say, most firearms-friendly Americans don't like the idea of a world where you can go into Cabelas and buy a SAW or an M60, or even just a real M4. That's just reality.

no one represents my views

So where was the answer option - "0 It depends"
Too many questions either needed that option or just shouldn't have been there.

Honestly, that would be why I am so close to the center. My life is not absolutes.

Another issue I had with the test was this.
