      IRC Nickname: Wayne|Eregion2 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3087 Member No.: 156 Joined: January 25, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8    | Had an interesting discussion in business ethics today. Did some research afterward, and pretty much found out I fit the bill as a Social Democrat. I've always been the "I'm not anything I think this is right and this is wrong and I act on those beliefs" kind of guy but the correlations are very strong. I'm not committing to anything in particular yet, but it's interesting. So where do you stand? PS: Social Democrat refers to a concept of Social Liberalism, sometimes called the Radical Center. They're interested in combining key aspects of the right and left in a mixed economy to create a functionally sound society. Depending on the country, Social Liberalism can lean a little more to the right or left than elsewhere, but in the U.S. it more or less stands for a capitalistic society supported by a more socialist framework / aka safety net. Kind of crazy, but it does make implementational sense (or at least, people like me think it does). --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | I'm a Liberal/Democrat. I also try to combined the best of both worlds, in ways that would work well, so I might be a Social Democrat. I like to think I'm not shutting out the opinions of the other parties in play, which is why I'm trying to find out where the "California College Republicans" meet each week, just to hear about their political views since I discredit anything Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck say, and to a lesser degree Bill O'Reily, while at the same time not really listening to Kieth Olberman and Rachel Maddow. What was the name of the test you took to find out? I'd like to see what bill I fit. --------------------   | ||||

I uh... researched them and found out I think similarly.  Politics, religion, and money are destroying society? Curious, since all three and the fundamental reasoning behind them is the only reason we're all still around. -------------------- | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | Political stance : Could give a fuck less. Religion : Well I haven't been smitten yet. Basically neither have a real influence on my life, I really could care less, either way my tax money is going to some fail who does nothing but look pretty, or ugly like most of those senate and house of douchebag fuckery morons. Because all they cry about is the same old shit, and it's really not doing any good for anyone. Unless someone steps up and does something absolutely amazing that will catch my eye as a worthy person to sway me towards, i'm probably never gonna pick a side. I prefere more of a simpler way of living my life, rather than getting caught up in the useless drama llama that is the government. Buncha Fuckin' Morons. -------------------- | ||||

I'm a conservative and I think those three guys are all idiots. Well mainly Sean Hannity, and to a lesser extent Bill and Glenn. Glenn Beck cracks me up sometimes though. But yeah I hate it when people base republicanism to those three and Bush who was a fucking suck ass republican. And on that note I saw a guy that was the spitting image of Obama today cooking my food at some restaurant but he had an Italian accent lol. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Snowzak Group: Emeritus Posts: 1193 Member No.: 5 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 67 | I try to be pragmatic in my approach to politics, judging each issue separately as I find structural ideologies are often faulty. From country to country and from an issue to another, I'd probably have a slightly different political stance, but overall I lean to the left. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||||

I don't follow political parties, I am only interested in what is best for EVERYONE. Religion: I'm Human -I don't NOT believe in any Gods, nor do I really believe in them. It is my belief that we are all human beings, and we are all here on Earth right now. What happened billions of year ago and what will happen after we die is none of our concern, except when it matters for those who will come after us. We should worry about fixing our problems here on Earth rather than living to die in a way that pleases a figure that has never interacted with any of us. Live for humanity, not for God. -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=- W I N N I N G | ||||

 IRC Nickname: dieyou2000 Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 711 Member No.: 1300 Joined: August 28, 2008 Total Events Attended: 158 | Political stance: Democrat/Liberal but I hate all politicians to be honest. Although some of them really piss me off like that Michelle Bachman retard. Economic stance: Right now I would simply classify myself as anti-capitalist. Not really sure where I stand whether it is some form of democratic socialism/communism or...if I may use a Monty Python reference...an anarcho-syndicalist commune.  Religious stance: Atheist...yet to come across a good argument for the existence of any god. If you guys want a good test search "political compass" and take that quiz. My score on it was -7.75 (economic left) and -8.26 (libertarian) out of 10 on both sides. --------------------   | ||||
