Ok ladies and gentlemen, it's getting kinda late for me and so i want to write this as quick as possible. The purpose of this is to try and bust/proove myths about the 2 major political parties in the united states. I'll request a few things
1) since i'll be recording the information, it makes my life that much easier if you keep your answers simple, PLEASE dont start a debate on answers until i get atleast 10-15 templates of answers.
2) Often times the survey will be multiple choice, meaning you cant put a different answer, this may seem unfair, and i understand, if you dont want to take the survey, then dont, if you want to, but are having trouble, pick what you think is the lesser of 2 evils.
3) Be Honest, If your being sarcastic or idiotic i wont tell and that will ruin the data.
Ok, here's the question: (You can include details at the bottom of your answers, but start with yes or no.
Pre - Towards what dirrection do you MOST lean? (Left or right)
1 - Is The idea of abortion more focused on the fetus or the mother?
2 - Do you feel law is to maintain the rights of the defendant, or to uphold justice the victim.
3 - Do you feel high taxes or low taxes strengthen the economy?
4 - Was the agricultural evolution generally a bad thing or a good thing?
5 - Who was more evil Stalin or Hitler? (Take into account that number of kills is mainly based on oportunity)
6 - who was more evil? sadam or george bush? (Dont get into a bush argument, if you really feel bush is more evil, then please say so)
7 - If you had the power to convert everyone in the world to one religon (Including Atheistim) which would you. (you can say why later, or start your own thread)
8 - Should pro-religon be encouraged in public areas?
9 - When you argue about contraceptives for increasinly younger individuals, is your opinion economically based, medically based, morally based, or legally based? (Or other(ly)-based)
10 - If american soldiers weren't dieing in iraq (at the current rate, or at all) do you feel the public would have veiwed iraq as a "Good idea" or still a "Bad idea"
11 - Is your opinion on enviormentalism domestically based, ecologically based, or internationally based. (For exaple, if i'm against drilling in alaska because of fear of interfearing with the caribo (i'm not sure how that's spelled, i'm sorry) then my opinion is maining ecologically based
12 - How much influence do you feel lower class individuals had over the state of their being as a whole (Alot, alittle, none, etc. )
13 - Lets say in the middle of the arizona they find large oil reserves which would be relatively easy to harvest, if you had to write to the government why you feel this is a good or bad idea, would your opinion ever mention international reasons why this is a good or bad idea.
14 - Do you feel rich people are generally good, bad, or far to mixed to tell
15 - Who do you feel has more power, The televison / newspaper / books etc. or the government
16 - Do you feel bias in news either which way is unavoidable, or perposefull
17 - if a policy you supported effected you in a way that affected you slightly in a negative way, ( for example higher taxes, you cant buy that vacation to spain, your upset, or, electing somone who was very pro-police, who increased police budgets, so you see alot more police cars driving around which makes you nervous) the would you still support the policy
18 - would you be more apt to finding counter evidence against a statistic if the statistic was used against you in a debate?
19 - do you ever try to SERIOUSLY rationalize what your counter party beleives.
20 - have you ever agreed with somone who was in the opposite dirrection as you (left right)
21 - did you gain your beleifs in bulk, or one at a time.

Short explanation: TL;DR
Long explanation: Do you really need to read long, long chunks of text to make sure that 98,7% (probably myself included) of people who frequent this board are hypocritical, brainless, close-minded, pompous, righter-than-thou bullshit con artist assholes?

Pre - Towards what dirrection do you MOST lean? (Left or right)
-Left
1 - Is The idea of abortion more focused on the fetus or the mother?
-For me, on the woman carrying the fetus (yes, I'm one of those choicers who insists on using words right)
2 - Do you feel law is to maintain the rights of the defendant, or to uphold justice the victim.
-Both
3 - Do you feel high taxes or low taxes strengthen the economy?
-In all honesty, I don't know enough about economics to answer.
4 - Was the agricultural evolution generally a bad thing or a good thing?
-I don't know.
5 - Who was more evil Stalin or Hitler? (Take into account that number of kills is mainly based on oportunity)
-Both were pretty damn evil, but Stalin fit more evil into a longer period of time and he doesn't get nearly as much attention as Hitler.
6 - who was more evil? sadam or george bush? (Dont get into a bush argument, if you really feel bush is more evil, then please say so)
-Saddam. I'm not that liberal, and anyone who says Bush need to dig their head out of their ass.
7 - If you had the power to convert everyone in the world to one religon (Including Atheistim) which would you. (you can say why later, or start your own thread)
-Agnostic, so that everyone would realize that we won't know until we die, but are still free to believe in what they please.
8 - Should pro-religon be encouraged in public areas?
-No.
9 - When you argue about contraceptives for increasinly younger individuals, is your opinion economically based, medically based, morally based, or legally based? (Or other(ly)-based)
-I base it upon trying to keep them from making a stupid decision: having unprotected sex. Everyone should have access to protection and should be well-educated when it comes to sex so that if and when they decide to do it, no matter when, they're prepared.
10 - If american soldiers weren't dieing in iraq (at the current rate, or at all) do you feel the public would have veiwed iraq as a "Good idea" or still a "Bad idea"
-Bad idea. I think the death toll of American soldiers exacerbates public opinion, but people thinking that it was a bad idea isn't solely based upon soldier death.
11 - Is your opinion on enviormentalism domestically based, ecologically based, or internationally based. (For exaple, if i'm against drilling in alaska because of fear of interfearing with the caribo (i'm not sure how that's spelled, i'm sorry) then my opinion is maining ecologically based
-A mix, but I don't have much on an opinion on the subject.
12 - How much influence do you feel lower class individuals had over the state of their being as a whole (Alot, alittle, none, etc. )
-A little
13 - Lets say in the middle of the arizona they find large oil reserves which would be relatively easy to harvest, if you had to write to the government why you feel this is a good or bad idea, would your opinion ever mention international reasons why this is a good or bad idea.
-Probably
14 - Do you feel rich people are generally good, bad, or far to mixed to tell
-Far too mixed
15 - Who do you feel has more power, The televison / newspaper / books etc. or the government
-T.V. and the government
16 - Do you feel bias in news either which way is unavoidable, or perposefull
-Unavoidable. If people are doing it, there's going to be some bias no matter what.
17 - if a policy you supported effected you in a way that affected you slightly in a negative way, ( for example higher taxes, you cant buy that vacation to spain, your upset, or, electing somone who was very pro-police, who increased police budgets, so you see alot more police cars driving around which makes you nervous) the would you still support the policy
-If it's something that isn't really important (like some stupid vacation), I would especially if the slight annoyance/inconvenience is outweighed by the good it does.
18 - would you be more apt to finding counter evidence against a statistic if the statistic was used against you in a debate?
-Yes, unless it's blatantly wrong (if, for example, I'm arguing for gay rights as per usual and someone on my side says that 80% of Americans are gay, I'm going to challenge that and disprove it, because it makes us look bad).
19 - do you ever try to SERIOUSLY rationalize what your counter party beleives.
-I try. Sometimes their "logic" is soooooooo stupid and bad and crappy that my brain wants to vomit.
20 - have you ever agreed with somone who was in the opposite dirrection as you (left right)
-Yes
21 - did you gain your beleifs in bulk, or one at a time.
-Some in bulk, some one at a time. Many of them are products of having the sense beat into my skull (like how I used to be pro-life, but am now pro-choice).
