Your political compass

So you're a pro life, anti welfare, cut down all the trees and send the immigrants back home kind of person?

Perfect example why I don't like politics or like to talk about politics. It might not be totally accurate, but if you post the results it opens you up to criticism. (Whoever) can come along see something like that and already has it all figured out, just by how you probably lean politically. And thinks he can toy with you because he's not only right in his political thinking he has the right to be a douche to anyone who doesn't think like him. Politics is just tilting at windmills.

For that last quiz.

I really hope nobody used the importance gauge on any of the questions, other than perhaps social issues. Education=environment=government spending... No issue is more important than the other.

You don't prioritize at all? Like let's have an educated future generation before we worry about who's holding our oil?

Education is always my number one priority.

Regardless we shouldn't be using oil period. It's terrible for the environment, and protecting the planet we live on by ceasing all usage of fossil fuels is definetely an issue of the same magnitude as the education of future generations.

It's a hard, honest truth IMO.

Ignore the question, it's cool.

it's such a vague comparison that it's hard to say

i mean yea global warming is a problem

but wtf is to be done about it? new engineering for transportation? that brings you right back to funding research. which in part relies on education so there's people around qualified to do the research.

but i'm really not sure what the specific issue with education is. i have heard a lot of grievances but not many firm solutions. do you guys think the problem is just a lack of funding or what... because the amount of money that gets poured into schools is pretty massive. i think the system is just really poorly administered... but i honestly don't have any solutions so i sort of leave it alone.

but as for oil... point blank we need it right now to keep the ship afloat. even if you do fund research and aggressively try to transition the infrastructure to not rely on oil, this will be such a massive transition that for the time being oil is a top priority and that isn't changing anytime soon. so really that's why i'm not with the 'no blood for oil' camp. i honestly can't think of a better reason to spill blood.
