:lol: Yep, that's me.

Next time, maybe you won't have to be the one who is upside down when you both decide to spend some quality tinme down under.
 
I vote pure reverse cowgirl.

Seriously, what a completely stupid set of options.
 
OK, OK, I'm next. I also want to post one of those funny extravagant answers, coming up with something completely different to the options proposed on the poll by the original poster.

How about "Christian libertarian"? No, no, that's not crazy enough. A "religious anarchist that wants universal health care and abortion to be enforced"!

That's not who I am. But it was funny, wasn't it? Please tell me it was, tell me it was!!!

Yes, I'm one of those parasitic beings who spends the whole day in front of his mom's computer in a desperate attempt to lure some attention from his fellow human beings in order to compensate for his lack of a social life in the real world. I'm one of those losers who has 2,176 friends on Facebook.

Couldn't you make your poll a little more simplistic?

You know "Republican, Democrat and other". I kind of get lost.


JUMANJI!!!

My initial thought to the question posed is doggie style and getting reamed by the self serving assholes we elect.

LOL! No doubt, they are all cut from the same cloth; the ruling class cloth.
 
In absence of a better label, I voted "modern progressive", because I believe the OP would classify me as such.

I rather think of myself as centrist or slightly left-leaning centrist by German standards. At least my voting record seems to suggest that. I've voted for the center-left SPD and Greens and for the libertarian FDP in the past. I don't really like Merkel's conservative CDU/CSU and the socialist Left Party even less. So if you need a label, take that of "left-leaning centrist".

People also suggested I might be a leftie, just because I don't like Muslim bashing. I used to think that showing basic respect for people, and restraining from bashing minorities, is a matter of decency and should be common sense, rather than the indication of a particular political leaning. It's a matter of respect, not of being left or right, IMO.

That's what I said. I am a decisive moderate. I decidedly reject the idea that one side is completely right and the other completely wrong.
 
We'll put you down as a socialist ;-) You're not an American I hope; lemme guess......French? By the way, here are a couple paragraphs from a piece written by a sitting president of an EU country, I'm sure you'll enjoy this:"

"The second reason for European economic problems—not specifically European, but worse in Europe then elsewhere—has to do with the quality, productivity and efficiency of its economic and social system. Europe is characterized by a seemingly people-friendly, non-demanding, paternalistic and—in consequence—insufficiently productive economic and social system called die soziale Markwirtschaft, or social democracy. This system, with its generous social benefits, weakened motivation, shortened working hours, prolonged years of study, lowered retirement ages, diminished the supply of labor—both at the macro level and structurally—and led to very slow economic growth.
...

Europeans today prefer leisure to performance, security to risk-taking, paternalism to free markets, collectivism and group entitlements to individualism. They have always been more risk-averse than Americans, but the difference continues to grow. Economic freedom has a very low priority here. It seems that Europeans are not interested in capitalism and free markets and do not understand that their current behavior undermines the very institutions that made their past success possible. They are eager to defend their non-economic freedoms—the easiness, looseness, laxity and permissiveness of modern or post-modern European society—but when it comes to their economic freedoms, they are quite indifferent."
Interesting .
Are the Euros happy, or does not not matter ?

Only from a conservative(the options, of course)....lol....
This same subject has been discussed within the past year....the people here do not wear labels very well..
I "voted" modern progressive....sounds good....whatever it means.
 
Just because one classifies themselves as a "moderate" or "centrist," it does not make them indecisive. I'm absolutely sick of that characterization.

I really can't quite make up my mind whether that bothers me or not.
 
Curious as to the political slant of this forum.

I am a self-actualized Polycynical Mercucionist. A plague on both their houses.

Except on Tuesdays, when I'm an Individualized Positivist who plays a little guitar, and Thursdays.... (shudder), no, you don't want to hear about Thursdays... :afraid:
 
Indecisive moderate...I hate both sides
 
Indecisive moderate?

That's bull**** - why this notion that moderates don't have firm beliefs and values? Just because we don't fit into your cookie cutter crappy selections of crude partisan clubs doesn't mean we don't have defined and particular views.

More like: we're not willing to sacrifice what we believe in for the sake of fitting in with one crowd or the other.

He considers liberals and socialists the same thing. I would not take the options seriously. The options come from some bizarro universe.
