sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.
i took the test and got the following result:.
your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.

Nikita, we choose to discuss politics because it interests us. When we were JW we were told we must remain politically neutral (unless you live in Mexico, har har). This, by a religion founded on Marx's principles of Classes, LOL.
Now we find that we are free to discuss ANYTHING and no one will tell us otherwise.
That's why we discuss politics.
I understand all that. I guess it just seems to me that this argument is going nowhere. Or is it maybe that all of you find this to be a constructive discussion? ( I ask that with all sincerity-so please don't anyone take it as sarcasm) Is anyone seeing the others perspective at all?

Magog,
This is my point Jan, to get you, and other non-Americans, to look in the mirror a little. To realize how unitelligent and biased many arguments sound. That is all.I am well aware of the reputation Americans have. Has it occured to you that the same thing is giving Norwegians and other nationalities an equally bad name? There are more Americans, God love them, so I suppose it stands to reason that they will get the brunt of more criticism. Ratios, notwithstanding, other nations are equally bad or worse on many fronts. Until we as humans can get our collective act together, we are going to be at each other's throats forever
Just wanted to say that you have stated your argument extremely well.
Why can't we all just stick to the common bond that brings us all here to this board and not one as divisive as politics?

it begs the questions:.
how many on that bus were happy that they either didn't end up going to the convention or got there late?
(i would have been happy!!!).
Hey, I just saw that episode the other day! (Yes, your niece now enjoys "The Beaver"!)
Nikita...
Gee, Nikita. If you weren't a girl I'd clobber ya'!
"Well go ahead-I dare you! I double dare you!"

it was one year ago today, that i mailed my disassociation letter.
i had postponed my da'ng to spend months (many sleepless) gathering research to help "rescue" my jw friend of 26 years.
i called her finally on june 30. turns out, she could have cared less.
i guess it's time for me to tell my story on this forum.
my parents came into contact with the "truth" during their engagement and so i was born into a borg family and quickly "assimilated.
" the congregation i grew up in however had very liberal views on many subjects, such as higher education, secular careers, and the like.
Mackin, enjoyed your story!
Nikita
i will spare you all the gory details until she is ready to post them.
my mom (mulan) is having trouble with my grandma again.
looks like this time she has finally burned her last available bridge and will be moving out.
((((((((Mulan))))))))
Hang in there!
