I pictured the guys I loaned money to so they could buy a travel trailer to live in. They were sitting back watching the satellite TV they recently installed and smoking reefer. In the meantime I'm out working several jobs, and they have yet to pay me back a single dime of their own free will. Live and learn! :nope:

Smack in the middle of lower left quadrant.

This is what I had expected and what explains some of the difference in European and American results. It's how we interpret the questions.

The question is were they really in need or did they just fool you. I'm not for supporting people who don't want to work and I don't think the question in the poll was meant to take away from the working to give to the lazy but to give to people in need. it's all about interpretation.

They were in need because they spend everything the gov't gives them and then some(just like most people in need). My mistake was to put myself in their place and figure what I was doing for them would let them get ahead and they would be appreciative. Make improvements to the trailer, get a license, get a car, but nope buy reefer, buy satellite, buy steaks(I'm guessing on that one). ...and never even say thank you. LMAO

As said some questions are too general yet I agree with the score more or less although it should be a notch more toward libertarian.

I did this test a couple of years ago, and I seem to have moved more to the left compared to then. I don't have the old result anymore though.

Not worth my time...
 
As I find left or right leaners tend to capsize the boat.:timeout:

Lean forward then lean back on the oars and we all get somewhere other than wet.

So far I find myself closest to dead center. :hmmm:

Rockstar 02-01-15 10:34 AM

No matter how times I took the test and answered without trying to force the result like I did above. I kept finding the little red dot floating around the same place each time. I guess its time quit fooling myself and turn in my NRA secret decoder ring. :O:

Btw, I thought some of those questions were terribly leading.
