I'm belgian, republican doesn't exist here. I am a Fairly liberal socialist, but have Noticed i have Some conservatieve opinions too.
Kind of middleground i think,though many tend to think they are.

Just a tip. If you want to keep things civil, don't start with a confrontational paragraph, telling people they're not welcome, presuming that people are salivating at the mouth, just waiting for any excuse to start an argument. "All you Liberals have 1000s of other threads to post in?" No. We do not have Liberal-only threads here. Anyone is free to voice their opinions wherever they like.
Except for porn, hate speech, death threats and the like.

The point of writing it was because their always has to be at least one like you who just can't pass the topic by even though it was completely unnecessary for you to comment in it... but even when asked not to you still have to do it..

See what you saw was this:






Rather then saying "hey I'm not a conservative atheist" and moving on to the next post, you had to click it and read till you found something that offended you so you would have an excuse to reply and try to start an argument.

I'm Center-Left Libertarian, also called Classical Liberalism.

Just letting you know that site deliberately skews its questions to produce results telling you that you are left. It's a social engineering tool to get more people to identify as lefties.

I think you are over reacting.  As pointed out this forum is public.  Yes there are lots of liberal threads, and conservatives can and do post in all of them.  I can't recall anyone telling them they weren't supposed to post in a thread, and conservatives often post in threads specifically  to argue.  That's what we do here.  We argue.  I prefer to call it "discuss."  Some prefer the term "debate."  Call it whatever.  We argue.  This is beyond your control, as is the issue of closing threads.

Yeah, at the end of the day, the questions were not very detailed - and assume that more religious somehow equals more on the right (I took the questions again and answered in favor of the religious questions just to see how that panned out). Also, correlation =/= causation.



As I probably would've guessed, according to this site, somehow, more religious = more authoritarian & right-leaning which is bullshit. I do take these kind of tests with a grain of salt. Same as I did with the 8values test.

Victim complex, huh? How original.

The most ubiquitous character trait of leftists is their pathological need to control others... usually to death. They are sick people, treat them like sick people.

FYI, I didn't enter this thread because I thought, "Oh boy! A Conservative I can destroy!" I clicked because I saw a username I didn't recognize. Even though you only had eight posts, I couldn't find an introduction thread for you. I had a feeling you were a troll, but it turned out you just joined four years ago, posted in two threads, and disappeared. I was also curious to see who considered themselves to be Ring-Wing. I posted because I found you obnoxious. Do not presume to know others' unspoken intentions, and if you don't want confrontations then don't start with "you people" or any of its variants. That's as close to pointing your finger in someone's face as you can get on the internet.
