Just post your results here and I'll organize them in to a graph.

I'll start with mine

OP do you go on 4chan? These threads are being posted frequently there started a few days back.

And I'm nearly the same that you are in, just about three squares up on the Y axis and like two on the X axis

The last time I went on 4chan was about a year ago. I heard about this test in a roleplaying game community a long, long time ago.

PS: By "up on the X axis" do you mean right or left?

The questions were ridiculously biased. They were completely trying to guide your opinion into saying "The world should be free from authority, we should be able to do what we want with no system of trading. The world is wrong and corrupt".

^Last time I took it I held this opinion also, would have been nice if the questions weren't so black and white.

@Dave : I pretty much agree, the test does fail to represent some of the... less popular opinions. Say the question, "All races have their rights, but it is better for them to keep to their own kind." Well, what if you don't believe they all have their rights? Not trying to encourage that view or anything, just point it out...

I also think an important missing question was, People should be allowed to express any view that does not directly incite lawless action.

Yeah like for example; "Your race holds some superiority over other races".

Of course it does. Almost every life changing invention was created by a white person. I was answering with a fact, now with an opinion like they were asking of me. In my opinion, does it really matter that the cunt was white? Race is just a glorified difference like nationality or religion, but is given this supreme weight as a result of slavery (which in itself is blown out of proportion). I don't see the difference between white people and black people, but if you're going to ask me if I think that in some aspects, white people are better than black people, then of course I'll agree. In general, black people are better at sports then white people, so every race holds a superiority if you want to separate everything like that.

"People should be allowed to express any view that does not directly incite lawless action."

VERY interesting question. The Westboro Baptist Church question. I can't really draw a conclusion, but one thing I hate is the hypocriticalness of a lot of this. Being gay for example trumps religion in a battle of "What gets the most favour". A LBGT Parade can go through your streets saying that being gay is okay (which directly insults the teachings of Christianity), but if Christianity preaches it's message then it will get a bad wrap for shoving it down people's throats (which is ironic, because that's what LBGT wants people to do). Bizzle got a harsh amount of backlash for his remix of Same Love, but Macklemore can insult religious people in his song and we say it's a song which shows great sensitivity?

I fucking despise this double standard, and I'm a pro-LBGT secular humanist.

Then again, this works in the same way that preaching slavery should be okay would get a bad wrap. Nothing is inherently wrong with being gay, this being a demonstrable fact, thus holding the opinion that it is an abomination whilst the fact that it is natural/not inherently wrong still stands, the opinion that it is wrong abstracts from what the general population knows to be true, this gives a bad wrap when displayed.

Works in the same way that there are people promoting racial equality and getting praise for it, and there are people promoting racial inequality getting bashed for being ignorant racists.
