    I've noticed a couple of people on this thread saying they're "proud" of being right-wing or being all disgusted that they're left-wing according to that questionnaire thing.

    Can't see what's so bad about being to the left - other than it's kinda "the thing" on After Hours to emphasise how "anti hippy" and "no-nonsense" you are. Being on the left doesn't make you a dumb hippy at all. You can be left-wing and have plenty of common sense, as well as having some conservative viewpoints...

    AHers? The initials are a little leading, nein?

    And there are no known right-wing libertarians in existence? Kind of hard to believe.

    Red Bull gives me wings.

    You can stick me under that classification.

    That's the thing Dudess.

    All these tree-hugging, pc do-gooders annoy the very shíte out of me, they actually make my anus twitch with their sympathy for the dregs of society, murderers, rapists and drug addled scumbuckets that I find myself disagreeing with them an awful lot.

    So much so, in fact, that I have formed the polar opposite view to these morons and find myself firmly planted on the right side of the fence.

    I also hate the fact that right leaning people are labelled as "conservative", as if it's some kind of liberating experience to hug trees, touch AIDS riddles junkies or campaign so child pornographers are housed in plush open prisons.

    I also resent the fact that right leaning people are tarred as racists or bigots just because they want to see leeching parasites sent back from whence they came.

    No. I'm right-wing, but I'm not "conservative" or "unliberal" or racist.

    And anyone who says otherwise can take a running jump into the gene cleansing machine I have in my garden shed.

    if i could agree any more with that statement i think id explode into flames, v well said, i find some peoples thinking on here amazing, but ive accepted boards as a bastion of left thinking anti Irish Attitudes

    I don't think that makes you right-wing at all Des, I think it makes you an occupant of the middle ground. Also, "conservative" is regularly viewed as a dirty word (ditto "liberal") whereas it's not necessarily a bad thing in a lot of contexts. But I can totally see what you mean when you say just because e.g. you have zero tolerance for scumbag thugs it makes you conservative. Bollocks to that - it makes you sensible and realistic.

    QFT.

    Many people also think that you must be a conservative if you think the family unit is something to be proud of and held onto as a model for society, but it's something I firmly believe in. I also believe in law and order. Yet I am very liberal in many ways and as my political compass shows I'm in the centre of left and liberal.

    If pushed I would label myself as a 'liberal with attitude' :pac:

    For those of you who aren't sure what you are, take this test.

    When it gives you your results it will tell you where you stand in relation to popular politicians and famous figures in history such as Gandhi, Mandela.

    http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

    yay! I'm almost the same as the dali lama. Also wtf? gordon brown being waay off to the right? I thought he was in LABOUR?

    Pity about the whole test being fundamentally flawed.

    For example, just because you believe sex before marraige is immoral, doesn't mean you think it should be illegal. You could easily be left wing and think it's wrong.

    Also, abortion has nothing to do with libertarianism or authoritarianism.

    There's a lot of other "dodgy" questions aswell. Pity.

    You can be conservative AND liberal at the same time!

    The word "conservative" just means you want to kep things the way they are.

    The opposite of being liberal is being authoritarian.

    I'm very liberal and i'm also strongly in favour of the family. Liberalism has nothing to do with this.

    I remember some people talking about this particular test saying it puts you slightly more to the left and libertarian side than what you actually are. Dunno why.

    Anyway i'm centrist authoritarian. Whatever the hell that is!

    it means you want to kick the **** out of left and right wingers.

    Yeah according to that i'm somewhere over near Gandhi as well which is almost certainly wrong.
    Probably more centrist than anything else i'd say- i hate lefties and right-wingers equally :)
    No, tbh probably hate lefties more :) - the half-hearted, fashionable ones anyway.
    The "smug" South Park episode probably sums it up.
    Wasn't it Parker or Stone who said:
    "I hate conservatives, but i fcuking really hate liberals".

    The episode with the "They took our jawbs!" 'time immigrants' was good too, with the 'Aging Hippy Liberal Douche' and 'Red Neck White Trash Conservative' arguing about immigration. :D

    In other words you agreed with everything (20% per agreement) well done! top of the class!!

    Another centre-leftie here. I thing labeling lefties as 'tree-huggers' or 'bleeding hearts' is much the same as lebelling righties as 'racist' or 'bigotted'.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I'm a centrist - sounds about right. I'm liberal on many issues but when I rule the world, I will have all the scumbags, paedophiles and hippies rounded up, shot, ground into mince and fed to piranhas.

    <---Centre left wing libertarian. Down and a bit right from Ghandi. Mind you, I know so little about economics that a good book could probably send me to the right on the economic scale.

    Are right wing women better looking that left wing women?

    If you're a right wing guy you'll probably get sent off to some war where you'll lose a limb, or your life, only to be flown home to booing crowds and asked to bend over just a few more times so your country can continue to fuck you in the ass.

    Left wing guys, on the other hand, dodge the draft, so hippy chicks will sleep with you because they think you're taking an ideological stand when, in fact, you're just a chickenshit, which they're also okay with because they don't want you to have to make a commitment, monogamy, after all, being a construct of patriarchy and therefore not trustworthy. They'll probably be happy for you when they find out you slept with their sister.

    I only agreed with everything in the personal issues one. In the economic issues i dissagreed with some. I knew already i was socially libertarian. I don't think the government have a right to interfere with our personal lives.

    The way i see it left or right doesn't really matter. When people here say they hate right wingers i think a lot of them mean they actually hate "up" wingers.
