Cool test! Economic Left/Right: -3.00 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03 That puts me between Nelson Mandela and the Dali Lama. Good enough for a South African Budhist - I think! t It's the year of the Pig.

"witty word play?" WOOSH! That one went right over my head.... t It's the year of the Pig.
-
"although I'm not a Buddhist, and I don't understand much about it" You probably do - but have a less formalised view of it. When you know you're being bad, and do it anyway - or choose not to - That's the voice that should guide you regardless of the threat of retribution. t It's the year of the Pig.

"(Untangle that one Mr S) " No need. The fact that you are aware of your failings gives you the first oportunity to correct them. It's never a moral judgement. Like video on a skydive - it can be used to damage, or to grow. Good enough? t It's the year of the Pig.

"Quick trial, appeals are done in weeks" I'm sure they get the wrong man more often than the US, but then there is a philosophy which claims we are all guilty, and that if that's what happens to you - that's your karma. Is the cost of a bullet even worth an invoice, or do you think they add an hourly rate for the gunner? t It's the year of the Pig.

We are all hypocrits. The only difference between men and gentlemen and their words. Their thoughts are more alike than most would admit. t It's the year of the Pig.

Hey - I'll be old one day - and anti anti-gravity belt, so be nice to the old ones now. Besides, longer they stay - younger I look! t It's the year of the Pig.

"remember the "Texas 7"? " Er, no, I don't. Never made the local paper, I guess. They escaped, and did bad things? Again? That's not nice. What worries me about the death penalty is that I'm a Budhist, and with reincarnation - after a 40 day wait in the garden, they could be back in a few short years, younger and stronger than before, with the same lesson to learn. I prefer the "time trap" of life. t It's the year of the Pig.

"learn from China?" What do they do? (I don't know much about China other than that they built a railway through Tanzania in the 70's that had the aparthied government very worried...And that there are lots of them..) t It's the year of the Pig.

"Pro-life, anti-death penalty" A consistant man. More so in the belief in self defence - a Pro life choice again. t It's the year of the Pig.

I know this forum is largely populated by Americans, but am hoping to keep "parties" out of it. The "right - left" line of the political spectrum may be in the middle, but I think on many issues, most people are really close to the middle. Closer than they may suspect, I think. t It's the year of the Pig.
-
But how do we define "getting rid of" Surely life without parol would do this? Capital cases that go on appeal for 10 years must cost the taxpayer more than just feeding the dude and making him read bambi again, and again... t It's the year of the Pig.
-
"Because the US took action in the first place without consulting the rest of their UN buddies. " Think there's a trend there? t It's the year of the Pig.

Whoa! There goes my Texas steriotype! Death penalty... I'm anti as a good member of society, but I can see how I would want to kill someone who killed those I love. I just expect the State to be a little above revenge. t It's the year of the Pig.
-
"So, unless you are Jesus, I am sure they are not coming back. " LMFAO Sorry. Been watching too much "JAG" t It's the year of the Pig.
-
"Pro gun, pro choice" That's seeming to be less rare than I suspected. Maybe pro gun people feel the right to protect themselves in several ways. Interesting. t It's the year of the Pig.

Politics. Damn. I'd be bad at that. I'm not good at fooling all of the people some of the time - but I can fool some of the people all of the time! t It's the year of the Pig.

Not strange at all. I am, Pro choice, Pro the right to bear arms - but think arms should be defined. I don't want the dude in the condo next to me with nukes - there has to be some control. Pro human rights, even for suspects of terrorisim. Pro freedom of religeon, Pro right to choose sexual orientation, Pro Skydiving - even Style and Accuracy. I am anti violence against civilian populace by soldiers during war or peace. Anti death penalty, Anti discrimination on the grounds of colour, sex, age, race, religeon, sexual orientation etc. t It's the year of the Pig.

I'm not qualified to judge - but from where I'm standing, you look like a bluefacedmonster, dispite your name! t It's the year of the Pig.

who thinks, Conservatives are Pro gun - but anti abortion. Liberals are pro abortion - but anti gun. Conservatives have the "right to bear Arms" but don't like it when other countries have those rights. Liberals are not always 100% in favour of this right, but can understand why other countries would like it. It's all about timing - I guess. t It's the year of the Pig.

I throw it in the waste paper basket... but then I'm further East than the East coast... t It's the year of the Pig.

Who shot you? We should get Tom Cruise to go pick him up right away! No, really, it was just a glitch in the matrix. I'll fix it right up. No. Really. Dreaming of hunting people (This happens to me often) means you're afraid of someone. I don't know what being shot means. We're in different timezones - so it wasn't me. t It's the year of the Pig.

I've seen the G4 live and it's UGLY! If I won the lottery - I'd order a new G3! t It's the year of the Pig.

My switch is on - and I LOVE those release dives.
