    Actually it would be better to put them into privatized detention centers funded by companies owned by rich liberals so it would be OK to shove their hypocritical principles up their lying asses after each meal...

    Oh really?



    The US Defense Department has privatized - XE, Graywolf etc. Private security firms are on the rise 'cuze local police can't or won't respond.

    The first few questions were so vague I didn't bother with the rest.

    Are taxes too high? For who?

    Is gov't spending too high? On what?

    Are we over regulated? In what aspect?

    Silly test Booners. You fail.

    As a Brit who knows far call about far call I scored 63

    You are a medium-core libertarian, probably self-consciously so. Your friends probably encourage you to quit talking about your views so much.

    for those espousing it on this board, libertarianism can be summed up as follows:

    for years i took all that i could from the US government, and now that i don't need anything else from the US govt, nobody else should get anything from the US government.

    What a two dimensional test. There is more in the world between 'yes' and 'no'.

    I gave up at question 4: are you for free trade.
    Yes I am, but if that means that Mumbai taxi drivers are then free to do their trade in Washington DC, the answer is probably 'no'.

    The world isnt this black and white Boon Mee.

    Libertarianism is merely anarchy for rich people. It will allow them to slash and burn all remaining natural resources, they will hire private armies to control the masses and oppress the 99%. The working (slave) class will live in dark area's with no civil resources and no power. They will have no access to medical care, nor clean water or sewer systems. Libertarianism is a return to indentured servitude and slavery. It is evil personified.

    The questions were too simplistic. I am positive our governments could spend far less and deliver almost the same, instead, they and their friends are just feeding at the trough and getting as fat as possible, for as long as possible. Would I abolish government for privatisation? Not a chance, as they would more likely be worse.
    Does that make me a libertarian?

    As a non American, I scored 77.

    Oh well, that passed on 5 minutes.

    This 'test' was posted as a minor distraction from the same old left vs right argument(s) and wasn't intended to be a credited or quoted research piece.

    Much the same as the quiz that was posted some time back as to one's philosophy regarding those left/right positions - ideologically speaking.

    ^Yeah because being a big L libertarian ain't the same thing at all as being a right-wing stooge for your capitalist betters. Or is that bettors?

    I looked it up.

    No wonder I scored low

    Good or bad someone has to run the show while everyone else is out making money. Unless of course one lives in Africa where those in charge are making money while everyone else is out...

    Society run by the masses? Who can tell me the quote from Winston Churchill?

    Well, that's the thing isn't it? There are more and more entitlement whores propagating every day. Soon the 'takers' will out number the 'makers' and the rate those Greek Bonds get now will start to look fantastic!
