If I was a Rightie..........

What would my behavior be like if I was a Rightie?

in general life I don’t know how much people’s political views match them as a person. There are plenty of conservatives that are absolute bleeding hearts when it comes to people around them. There are people who would describe themselves as socialists who in their actual life wouldn’t lift a finger to help anyone else.
 
You are correct, they can. I am not sure that means what you think it means. BUT hey, you want to keep trolling me to get your jollies, that is on you. I bet if I said that this conversation has gotten boring, and knowing how important it is to you to have the last word, and if I said you could have the last word without a response from me, you wouldn't be able to let it go because NOT having the last word would make you feel you lost the exchange. I don't have that insecurity. So you can have the last word and I won't respond. Cheers.
It started out boring. Nobody sees it as a good faith poll, not only did it not have Other as an option, but the few voters were unanimously in calling you out (as representing Canada). They’re is no attempt at learning anything.
Hey, I’ve made shit polls myself, but I try to do better. 😉

I think I broke the crazy canuck, I hope he's not out kicking his dog
 
Also nearly all of the those options could apply to people of any political persuasion it’s more of a personality thing

People who don't like the questions are going to focus on me. It only proves one of the options. #10.
As for "other" just create an other in your mind and you will never have any difficulty.
 
If I took it serious...........I might have.

If I ever came to the point where I took you seriously, I would probably be better off crawling into a warm bath with a razor blade.
Man oh man, that is pretty extreme. I would never get THAT obsessed with someone, whether I take them seriously or not.

But my poll asked if I were a Rightie, not if I were a Leftie. While the poll questions might be the SAME in either case, the answers would be quite different. You aren't suggesting if I was a Leftist (which I am) that I would display the same characteristics that Righties display, are you?

I direct the jury to exhibit 1A: this OP. Belly laughs notwithstanding ...
 
I'd hope global warming would melt Canada.

It depends why have you come to your “leftie” views ? Is it a direct result of your personality?

hmmm, which came first, the personality or the political leaning? to answer your question, long story, but the short version is simple:
very conservative parents. racist parents. I didn't want to be either way.

But then are you not because of any philosophy or have just decided to be the opposite?

I have a feeling you are trying to lead me somewhere with this line of questioning. And it's disingenuous as it is obvious. If you are asking me for genuine interest, that is one thing, but if you are asking me to pick apart my answers, you might have to find a different dance partner.

That’s not what I’m doing, what I’m more saying is that even though you may be leftie and not racist is your personality actually attached to that ?
 
Hey, don't leave me out! I voted if I was a rightie I would tell Canadians to mind their own damn business.....if I was a rightie. I've seen that response for Canadians right here on this board.

Looks like you ruffled some feathers, and confused some. :)
If I was a Rightie I would be so friggin uptight I would get p'd about threads like this ;)

Depends on what you believe forms your personality. Is it DNA? Is it upbringing? To suggest I was born a Lefty is a stretch, so it may not be linked to personality. Example, I am easy going (though it may not come across on here), but being easy going doesn't dictate whether I am a Leftist or a Rightie. I would argue experience, environment (the people around you), and the ability to think and learn forms your political affiliation.

Well yes that’s pretty much what I think , as long as someone isn’t an extremist I’m pretty sure they can be a great person regardless of what their leanings are and they can change in the way peoples personality’s don’t
 
You still haven't spelled out what characteristics I would display if I was a Rightie. Let me help you. You could pick options 1,3,5,7. As for describing me, I said.........

And you just responded with me describing myself as an Ahole. Left out the part where I said if I were a Rightie.
Might want to watch your Freudian slips.
shrug...

I said you'd be as you are now. What more do you want?

Other as an option allows some small insight into what the respondent is thinking, rather then just validating your smug answers. ;)

Well if you want to focus on me instead of the choices...............................
 
I mean if I was one of those on the far right, not just right of center, not just a conservative, but a Rightie (my own definition btw), what characteristics would one expect me to display?
Why are you participating in a poll meant for "righties"?
