I for one consider half black gay men to be more than beasts.

Yes, but more what?

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

meh....
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Anyway, we need more nuclear power.

I agree! :hug:

You can't hug each other with nuclear power arms... or something  :-[

104.  I didn't feel that a lot of the questions were worded in ways that I could answer them with a simple agree/disagree, so I put down a lot of 5s.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

282, a score that would be lower but for the frequent use of "always" and other "loading" terms in some of the pro-conservative statements. Of course, I'm always going to land on the progressive side of things if for no other reason than that modern conservativism holds what I do for a living in contempt.

I put very few 5's, and felt I would have put more if the questions had been worded slightly differently. 

Wouldn't all your 5's have pushed you more towards the middle?  You scored almost as "conservative" as I did.

I put in "5" on abortion and issues like that. Things I shy away from a having a real opinion on. So that likely threw me into the conservative camp, since i didn't click 'give them a wire hanger'.

I had you pegged as "more conservative" than me though...

I am, just in different areas.  I don't define foreign policy adventurism as conservatism, but the test does.   ;)

There were a lot of them in the pro-liberal side as well.

True, it's a bad test generally.
