I take full credit for this thread derailment.

Same with libertarians and authoritarians: way more libertarians, but there's no huge gap between where the libs stop and the authoritarians begin.

I'm quite suprised by these results because

When I was in highschool we had to take this test.

Everyone except me, and two of my friends scored lower left.

And that was like what, 60 students?
But I guess a global forum of adults is bound to be more diversein their views then a class full of 17 year old Australians.

I find the amount of libertarians on this fourm funny. Too bad the rest of America doesn't follow suit. Must be a BioWare fan thing.

Quite, liberty is a principal this country was founded on and easily forgotten when you want something outlawed that you don't personally like.

I actually think a lot of Americans would broadly fall under the umbrella of "libertarians", as it seems most people would simply like to let people live as they like and be allowed to do the same themselves. Trouble is, these are usually the same people who don't really care enough about politics to vote. 

My hope is that those people are now waking up.  Because saying that you don't vote because the game never changes actually lets them, the established powers that be, corporate, governmental or union, win.  All three weild power against the common joe.  All three need to remember that we either feed them or suffer their existence at our whim.

I think people are born with a bit of morality: our conscience, if you will. And we have the choice to follow it, or ignore it.

My belief is that the "Holy Spirit" adds to it, but doesn't actually create or define it.

That's really cool.  A beautiful way to look at the world, really.  Used to believe the same thing as a kid.

Even today, while I have no belief in anything metaphysical or supernatural whatsoever, I still hold that part of me "knows" what's right, and if I think/listen hard enough, I can figure it out.  That part's just buried somewhere in my brain now, made of cells and mush instead of light and love.

Less romantic, but it works.  The universe is messier, but still beautiful.

Anyway, I need to go to bed.  You keep following your conscience, whether it comes from God or not.

This post brought to you by 1:30am and a mild stomach flu.

Polling is trying to force people into a role they ill fit.  I personally see sense in both sides, social liberties should always prevail if they aren't hurting someone else, as should real math do the counting when it comes to thing in the budget.  Where do I fit in that?  I have fellow "conservatives" either agree with me and applaud my sense or call me a Rhino or a wishy washy independent.

Added. And would you look at that, it's right on top of my dot.

Our political views are in the missonary position. Almost.

I agree with everything you said.  Because of that, I honestly believe sociology and statistics should be required courses in high school.  Along with philosophy, so even our youngest voters know a bad argument when they see one.  And stronger world history, because damn, I only know where Croatia is because I googled it, and I knew nothing of its people until I talked to Mesina2.

Democracy only works when people know what they hell they're voting for.

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

That was interesting.

As I have been playing ME from the start with a paragon shep I've been hearing alot about consequences for paragon decisions in ME3 and I was wondering will some of you other paragons make renegade decisions e.g kill a hole race or party member just for the best outcome. I would like to think  that whatever goes wrong i wouldn't compromise my Shepard but in saying that if anything happened to liara or wrex i would consider it. any other paragons thought about this

At the end of the day I will make the choice that feels right. If people die because of a mistake I made then so be it. That's life....

[mauro2222]

May I ask something silly?

This is for people of U.S.A. doesn't it?

Hehe, I think you made it sound a little bit harsh and selfish.

Agreed on all points. And Croatia's in eastern Europe, right?

Those who say the left and the right can't find common ground have their head up their arse.  There is always common ground, people just refuse to find it.

That phrase is from Karl Marx, in case you didn't know.

Yeah I remember, I liked the fact that it was an option.

Another paragon vs. renegade thread? Here we go again...

Why can't people be playing as normal people instead?

Normal people. You mean renegon/paragade mixture of both renegade and paragon? Well normal people first of all would lay about on a sofa all day and probably go to a boring dead end job. So to play like a normal person isn't really escapism. Normal people moan too much (myself included).
