I'm not sure I trust the "personal responsibility" score. I truly believe you are the only one responsible for you and can't blame anyone else for your hardships or fuck ups. I'm not even sure which questions were used to gauge that category...
Maybe I don't even know who I am anymore! [Dunno]

People here are a lot more left leaning than I'd have guessed. Interesting.

On some questions, I think it depended on the specific case.
I am interested to hear what you mean by Neo Liberal. If you don't want to crap up the board either start a new thread or PM me. Reason being that word means different things depending on who you talk to. Like Neo-liberalism in europe refers to free market conservatives. Liberal meaning no rules on trade.Quote:

Ahhhh Crap! I just spilled my cappuccino all over my Volvo, laughing at something on NPR...[Help]
You know Ranger if your going to pick on me, choose a topic that makes sense. Criticizing me for something you don't agree with rather than something we can agree. As to me messing up a thread, well its a free country. You want to live in only right wing land where every sings the same tune in the choir, go to "storm front" or something. Other people write me to tell me they appreciate me as a breath of fresh air around here.Quote:
