Forums - Politics Discussion - Are you Democrat or Republican?? Take the Quiz.

These quizzes are dumb, people's opinions exist on a continuum; not black and white issues. Classifying people as "republican" or "democrat" pigeon hole everyone into 2 categories only.

Also these questions are not externally or even internally validated, therefore that makes the question invalid like most poorly designed studies in medicine.

Agreed.  I think it's reasonable to assume though, that the question wasn't referring to the rare cases in which an abortion may be necessary to save the life of the mother.


I agree with MDMAlliance here. This is a really badly worded question. I actually answered it thinking of exactly that situation, which rather misrepresented my stance on most of the issue.

Not an unbiased quiz, but still the results tell a lot about mentalities. Interesting.
75% Democrat, 37% Republican is what I got. The American Republicans are just far more right-wing than even conservative parties in Europe... I'd be hard-pressed to find somebody here who'd end up pro Republicans in this quiz.

Edit: 90%-18% in the second quiz.



You Scored as You side with Republicans

You side with Democrats

Not totally sure about some of the questions on there. Some were kind of iffy.



83% republican, 40% democrat

The first quiz is pure propaganda, and it seriously disgusted me. Either the original poster is gullible, or thinks that we are all gullible. In either case the only thing I have learned from this thread is to ignore the original poster from this point onward, and I would advise others to do likewise. Their lack of respect is borderline insulting. It isn't just that the quiz is designed to manipulate the truth. The truth it represents is pretty fucking insulting. It is basically a form of hate speech.

I feel really insulted by this stunt.

Why are you taking this out on the OP? And what things in the quizzes disgusted you so much? Nothing seemed that serious.

Ya really.  I was just curious what other people's views were.  Sure, some of the questions are a little extreme, but I figured most of the people on here were mature enough to look past "bad wording" and just answer the questions.  Now I can tell there really are true politicians on this site because people spend so much damn time looking at wording than just doing what is asked of them.  If you don't like it, take your bad attitude to another site because I just wanted to see how people would score.

I scored 93% Republican, 13% Democrat.  Though that 13% mostly consists of not choosing either way and just selecting the middle bubble.

Some of the questions in the first quiz troubled me, for instance:

"Ministers have the right to endorse a presidential candidate during a public sermon."

Why shouldn't they?  Who supports regulating what ministers can and cannot say?  First Amendment, anybody?

"Doctors who have a moral objection to abortion may refuse to provide one and still keep their medical license."

I can't imagine why this would ever be an issue for people.  A great many people find abortion abhorrent and if they choose not to perform it, they shouldn't lose their license.  That's ridiculous.  

I can't believe some of these are even questions... has society just completely gone to hell?

Because they are not acting as a private citizen.  If their government subzidied 'tax free' church/corporation paid taxes, then it would be different.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!

98% Republican, hell yeah! I think a more interesting question would be which party and which game system. I'd expect the Nintendo crowd to have the most Democrats while 360 would mostly be Republicans. PS3 would be roughly split in half.
