I thought Osama planned it? That's what they said last week. Do you think the US would be less of a target if it wasn't so incompetent and imperialistic in its handling of international relations? Perhaps if they spread food, rather than bombs; education, not bullets; and medicine, not trade...

Personally I reckon it's easy to mistake what the fanatical atheists are opposed to: it's not private religious belief that is targeted, but rather religious interference in political matters, and the presumption of religious people to speak with a greater moral authority than the rest of us...

I posted this on the announcements forum, but since I thought (hoped!) it might generate some debate thought I'd post it here too. Making Votes Count Against the Far Right Sponsored by Make Votes Count and Compass Speakers: Billy Bragg, Jon Cruddas MP (tbc), Nick Lowles (Editor...

Making Votes Count Against the Far Right Sponsored by Make Votes Count and Compass Speakers: Billy Bragg, Jon Cruddas MP (tbc), Nick Lowles (Editor, Searchlight), Mick Rix (GMB), Cllr. Patrick Vernon (Labour group, Hackney), Emily Georghiou (Chair). Wednesday 28th March, 2007, 7.30pm...

The political compass gets posted up on the board somewhere about once a month for the last 4 years. And is generally considered fairly useless. It was created by american capitalist libertarians and hence reflects their take on the world.

Dear god! I wonder why nobody has yet created a handy online quiz to place oneself on such a compass? Edited to add: Oh, you actually did post a link to the political compass :( :(

:) Sorry I figured that might help. If you read it it through it explains how the left-right political spectrum is out-dated as one can hold right wing economic beliefs while also holding non-authoritarian beliefs and vice versa. Thus an extra dimmension is needed, going verticaly from complete...

It has nothing to do with humanism. Death does occur. To try and base a politics on the proposition that at no time and under no circumstances, must people die, would be noble, but naive.

according to the political compass im left of Ghandi, whatever that is.

When I did the compass I came out near the Dalai Lama. How sad does that make me? i agree though, sadly those drawn to life in public service have social skills matching those of a Walrus with thrush.

...is that politics is a disease and those who are drawn to political life are the last people who should be involved in it as they have a fundamental personality disorder. (Is that the same as Bluestreak's anarcho-cynic? :confused: :D ) According to political compass I'm about -7 -8 or...

your mate baldwin will probably be arguing that disabled people should be kept out of 'non-disabled' workplaces (for thier own good apparently). i would be arguing for the unionisation of those workers (fetishist that I must be...) do you feel 'really hard done by' and sorry for yourself...

A response indicating that I'm disabled and poor good enough? Maybe not. I've never noticed a difference in solidarity and compassion from the left to one group above another myself. Do enlighten me with a few examples like?

btw, when the Welfare Reform bill comes in, it will be disabled people who will be used to fill in the gaps in the labour market, especially as the UK Govt plans to tighten up on the unskilled migrant labour market, and pushed into low wage/low status positions regardless of qualification. This...

And also, the range of questions it asks is stupidly limited. If it asked 2-300 questions it might be a bit more credible.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - The political compass is crap. I am really, fantastically sick of people posting it up at every fucking opportunity. It's so biased towards the libertarian left, it's not even funny, and the entire notion of marking people's politics along a set of...

Chancellor I would say, as he/she holds the purse strings for every other department.

Wow thanks for that greenman and Gmarthews! I think I got most of it :) I tried that political compass test but (you're all going to think I'm VERY thick, but I'm not, honest).. I couldn't understand all the questions. I think this is mainly because I did not grow up in the UK and my English...

...to tax more as they see problems everywhere which they feel the government MUST do something about. (Tend to be the poor) I would suggest taking the political compass test here as it is quite accurate and the website is quite good at explaining the issues. It might clarify your position too.

I find that there are many anti-Israelis on this board. There are also many who will overlook any wrongdoing by individuals who happen to be muslim, and who will refuse to consider that there could be any negative attributes associated in any way with anything islamic. Since it would be...
