What’s your problem? You’ve been asked many times by a variety of posters, including Mods, to stop cutting and pasting stuff on this thread, just put the links in. Not being able to do your fellow QPR fans the modest favour of doing this is just rude. I’m putting you on ignore now, which is a shame because a couple of your inputs to the joke thread are funny, but what you are doing is WUMIng, and WUMs starve without attention. Cheers.
Petulant. In my view, if the cut and paste was stuff that suited your liberal agenda, Stan, you'd be cool with it. I like Kiwi's cut and paste. While we're at it, what else do you want to ban?
I think all posters under the height of 5ft 6 should be banned ! Aswell as anyone who thinks keeping a rodent as a pet is a good idea.
I deplore fascists and fascism, which these days, increasingly seems to includes antifa's and the violence offered. I've looked hard and haven't seen any fascists on our board. There is stuff put up that is the basis for interesting debate
You’ve never seen me actually enraged. No rage involved in this at all. Just mild exasperation. Where do you come out on this Goldie? Uber has posted this before, ages ago. For what it’s worth I’m in the bottom left hand corner, libertarian left. https://www.politicalcompass.org/ If we are going to have ‘interesting debate’ it will help to have a perspective on starting positions while avoiding labelling in a party political way. That’s my main frustration with Kiwi, he posts reams of stuff without comment or opinion. Either he has no views or is ashamed to share them.
A surprise to me (although some of the questions were loaded and at least one, obscure), I come out slightly left of centre, towards the top right of the Libertarian green box. A little bit more right wing than Ghandi! I generally find Kiwi does put comments on most of his posts. If I find the article interesting, it doesn't much bother me if he doesn't.
I ended up with Ghandi as well: Economic Left/Right - 9.75 and Social Libertarian - 5.33. Wide to the left of Gandhi on the far left edge of the box. However it is a bit loaded because it presumes that you accept the free market, and economic globalization as being inevitable and are simply looking for ways of controlling it.
That completely and absolutely rules me out. 5 foot 2... two rabbits and a now deceased rat...am looking to get a couple of new rats in the autumn. Bobmid you really are a heightist and rodentist. Come the revolution you are first in Room 101 with Winston Smith
I’m 9.13 left/right and 6.46 authoritarian/libertarian, in favour of left and libertarian. I think it is weighted in favour of ending up in the green box for people who like to think they have some control over their own lives and who are generally egalitarian. Rather than accepting the free market and globalisation I’d say it was testing your position in today’s real world. If there was a question along the lines of ‘would you support a revolution to change x or y’ wouldn’t that automatically make you an authoritarian, imposing your worldview on others ‘for their own good’? Was the obscure question the one about forgetting problems and worries? I didn’t see where that fits in. The most valuable thing about it is the detachment/separation of economics from social/political structure. We use right wing in particular to cover free market economics and extreme nationalism and authoritarianism. The two are very different things and really don’t usually go hand in hand.
Yes, and this one (which I now understand is attributed to Marx) threw me: “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is a fundamentally good idea.
