I was actually suprised to see Kat take a conservative stance on things because the first discussion I had with her she took a rather liberal one.

:smile: You're only a democrat out of necessity. We all know if you had your way you'd vote Green.
Smurfy, you know me so well.
P.S. Besides we already know you don't date short people. And I don't date people who wouldn't date me, so
Short people, no. Short stallions on the other hand...

hey but at least you are as right wing as Hitler ;-) hehe (j/king of course)

You better be kidding. Hitler is on the exact opposite end of the authoritarian scale from me.

I was, but I was referring to the fact that you are aligned with Hitler from an ecconimical point of view... anyway yes it was a joke ;-)

Was Hitler really a free-marketer? I don't know a damn about his economic policies, but his party was called the National Socialist Party. Was that some kind of inside joke?

Economic Left/Right: -5.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41


--------

Did you notice how all the most sadistic evil ****s on their international compass fall on the authoritarian side? And most of those on the right?

And the folk heroes fall in the bottom left quadrant? HMMMMMM
