Thread Name: BS: Political Compass
Subject: RE: BS: Political Compass
John Hardly: I don't understand your post. What are you criticizing here, liberalism in general, or this Political Compass? Do you see the Compass as biased toward liberalism somehow? Why? Just because it didn't give you a chance to express all the nuances of your true thoughts? Well, it didn't give ME a chance to express all the nuances of MY (liberal) thoughts, either. Multiple-choice questionnaires never do. (And neither do ballots, come to think of it.) That doesn't mean it's invalid.

Can you give an example of a question that was meant to "weed out the conservative mind"? Also, please explain what you mean by "weed out" and why you think conservatives are "weeded out" more than liberals?

And (everyone) can we please keep the discussion focused on the Political Compass, its specific merits and demerits, and not on the merits and demerits of Liberals/Conservatives in general?
