<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Betelgeuse @ May 31 2007, 02:55 PM) [snapback]452760[/snapback]</div> Sorry about that... i redid the graph so i could enlarge it, started off by placing all the dots then putting in peoples names, and ended up with one dot left over - you right in the middle of the lower left quadrant. I scrolled through the posts 3 times trying to figure out who it was
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ May 31 2007, 02:57 PM) [snapback]452762[/snapback]</div> It is always the case that gov agencies can choose to enforce laws or not. In some cases agencies can simply decide that something should be outlawed without Congress approval. I was simply trying to make the point that the president is not a king who simply decrees laws, even though many here think that he is.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(05_SilverPri @ May 31 2007, 01:27 PM) [snapback]452792[/snapback]</div> Understood. I was just making it clear that the president has a HUGE influence on what aws get passed and which ones get removed. Think of it like this. If you want a promotion t your place of employment you will generally try to do things you know your boss wants you to do even without him telling you to do it. If you don't do them, he will likely remove you and put someone that will do them in your place. Ask the EPA how that works. Hahaha

He, my female and my Mom's male all fit into the back of my Prius, believe it or not!! And boy do they look good in the Silver Pine Mica..lol.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(patrickindallas @ May 30 2007, 01:00 PM) [snapback]452146[/snapback]</div> Thank you patrickindallas- at least I'm not the outlier on the graph! :lol: And I'm pretty sure from reading his posts that MarinJohn is in the wrong quadrant- maybe he forgot the minus signs?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ May 31 2007, 01:35 PM) [snapback]452651[/snapback]</div> You are joking ... right? Socialism does not work. Why are we the largest super power in the world? Because you get what you work for. In a socalist state - what incentive do I have to work harder - know some poor schmuck who doesn't give a damn will get the efforts of my hard work and dilligence. Does Not Work! Every nation of Europe will be bankrupt and have insane inflation because of their horrible universal health care policies. Because of lower birth rates - there will not be enough workers to support the populations "welfare state" - it will turn into a total disaster in our lifetimes... You want a kidney? You will die most likely before you get one.. hip surgery? One year wait. Good luck! We are headed down the same dark path with social insecurity... You know the system is at fault when a crack whore in NYC gets more welfare if she has more crack baby kids - who have to steal my car to buy more crack. Universal Healthcare will never happen in the United States - Nor will Hilary's plan of total socalism - it simply cannot happen in a free country....unfortunatly we aren't about to turn back into a dictator socialist state - you can leave the freaks the middle east for that... or Chavez... You want your liberties taken away? Aren't you the same type of person who is freaking out about patriot act? Really - grow up and pay taxes for once.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bigmahma @ May 31 2007, 06:14 PM) [snapback]452851[/snapback]</div> Really? They're going all the way from NYC to Florida to steal your car? There must be plenty of Priuses on the streets of New York!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bigmahma @ May 31 2007, 03:14 PM) [snapback]452851[/snapback]</div> And do you not see us losing that status in the near future? Nothing lasts. Just like in nature the only thing we can count on is change. I'll argue I have likely paid as much in taxes in my 32 years as you have in your 56+. In fact when I cashed into a rather large investment I sucked up $90k in one hit. lol Get over yourself, we all pay taxes and "suffer" because of the "crack whore" living on that money. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your vision of the world is skued by a negative pair of glasses. Either work to make things better or else you are not much better than the "crack whore" IMO because she only hurts herself, while your views, if acted upon or influence others, do much greater harm.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ May 31 2007, 06:21 PM) [snapback]452855[/snapback]</div> Used to live in NYC Moved out because of Billary and Doomberg. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(F8L @ May 31 2007, 06:22 PM) [snapback]452857[/snapback]</div> Wrong. She is hurting the chances of a REAL woman suffering raising a child by herself because her husband is a dead beat - She is hurting the image of the African American community - She is hurting the chances of legitamate young black men to find jobs - She is the cause and reason of the socio-economic depression afflicting their race. Her fatherless children who will be hopelessly addicted to drugs (most likely) will taunt, beat and tell other black children that they shouldn't goto school to be a white man's slave... .. There used to be a game black kids (yes 13-22, they usually died about 25) in NYC used to play - called "jewels in the crown" The objective was to have as many children as possible with as many women as possible ... and not having any responsibility whatsoever to them. Great culture... that has no victims. My nice person.
Eagle, Efusco, and I apparently have no equals in the world of international politics. Nobody else is in our quadrant. We rule. Everybody else is just trying to be popular.
My Score: Economic Left/Right: -4.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.77 This is interesting to view as i took this same quiz in the fall 2001 semester during my first semester of college for a political science 110 course and my score on this quiz has become somewhat more socially liberal in that time...
Wheeeee this is fun.... The Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 2.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.41 Dang tried to post a pic of the graph and get this error. . .

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ May 30 2007, 08:56 PM) [snapback]452533[/snapback]</div> FYI We all have good days and bad days, hopefully more good than bad. Ghandi presented Mao with poems that praised him as "the timely rain to nourish the land" blocked the marriage of his son and disowned him saying "How can I, who has always advocated renunciation of sex, encourage you to gratify it?" the son eventually became a homeless alcoholic. He also praised Hilter because of his ability to gain victories without much bloodshed, and suggested that the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife or thrown themselves from the sea cliffs when referring to WWII and absolute non-violence. Nelson Mandela travelled to Indonesia 6 months after his imprisonment and received $10 million from dicator Suharto all the while avoiding criticism about Indonesia's repressive policies. Wildkow p.s. All in all some prety good guys IMHO.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(MarinJohn @ May 30 2007, 02:26 PM) [snapback]452197[/snapback]</div> Psssst. Hey, eagle. MarinJohn fixed his numbers, so he can come join the in crowd on the lower left.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bigmahma @ May 31 2007, 08:35 PM) [snapback]452914[/snapback]</div> So crack whores are always black. I didn't know that, thanks for clearing it up. Good thing you're not a racist. It's tough to be accurate since there's no scales on the world leader graph, but if I'm extrapolating it correctly it appears as if : Marinjohn is George W. Bush and Bigmahma is Tony Blair
I cannot believe the numbers I came up with: Economic Left/Right: -6.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13 At least here I have company.
So I'm coming in late, but no surprise here. I'm near Mandela and the Dalai. Economic Left/Right: -6.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41
