Subject: RE: BS: Defining terms: Liberal/Conservative
You also have to accept the definitions for "liberal" and "conservative" being used by the people who designed that quiz, if you are going to accept the results of the quiz.

For instance, here in the US, restrictions on gun control is the domain of the "liberals" (according to current popular usage), but my husband, coming from another country, sees restrictions on gun control as a being a "conservative" stance. To him, people who want to be allowed to own any kind of weapon they want are "liberals" and bordering on radical.
