Meyers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator
I can't remember if I've started a thread about this here before but I personally am a huge fan of their personality test. You can find a pretty good one on facebook called myType and I'm sure if you google it you can turn up something. Has anyone else ever heard of it/taken it? I am an ENTJ (My guess is that most of the people here will be N's and probably NT's at that). If you have heard of it, post thoughts on it or the different types and post your own aswell!

Refuse to UNPAUSE
I'm in the Game World War V. One of the players had a problem and asked for a game pause. Now everyone is ready to play again, but a player on the verge of being defeated, refuses to UNPAUSE. How can we resolve this?

There should be 3 axis on the political compass
Government spending and taxes don't belong on the same axis as the amount of market limitation. What do you think?

Shark fins should be called shark bumps.

I don't really like figs. Or dates. Are dates dried figs? I don't know, I just know I don't like either of them.

There should be many axes (CM- this is the correct plural of axis, rhymes with sneeze):

Market limitation
Social permissiveness
Foreign Policy

I'm less sure about taxation, however *progressiveness* of taxation could well exist. The reason I say that the amount of taxation/spending is dependent on what your willing to buy.

/disagree.

I don't think you'd find many people who argue that the state should not intervene in the economy in any way, but should impose very high taxes.

Anyway, I thought you promised to limit yourself to one new thread a week?
Lord Gartho (100 D)
11 Aug 10 UTC
I was under the impression you can have as many axes as you want to include. However it does make sense to use a smaller number like one or two so that people can can compare opinions more easily. With regard to your suggestion of a new axis I agree with Jamiet in that those things are pretty similar for people to have different opinions on. Also, Friendly Sword, you are more of a sarcastic axe than a friendly sword.
"I don't think you'd find many people who argue that the state should not intervene in the economy in any way, but should impose very high taxes."
I want the opposite (low taxes but intervention in economy)
Actually, that should be NO taxes, not low taxes.
Lord Gartho (100 D)

That's stupid. Why would you want no taxes? There must be something I am not getting here. How would free healthcare and education be paid for? Or is it going to be like it was in the feudal age where you could only be as good as your parents and their wealth?.
The government would charge individually for those services.
"How would free healthcare and education be paid for? Or is it going to be like it was in the feudal age where you could only be as good as your parents and their wealth?."

...really? Free healthcare and free education haven't exactly been staples of the post-feudal world either. Those are relatively new developments...
Also, I'd like to point out that the US government got along fine before instituting the income tax in the early 20th century.

Impossible.


"Also, I'd like to point out that the US government got along fine before instituting the income tax in the early 20th century."

by not meddling in the economy... there is a reason meddling has been allowed to go up only after income tax was introduced.

@Ghost: Then please give an explanation. Right now you're giving your opinions as facts and not citing any sources or giving real evidence.
And by getting along fine, I mean they were able to get the funds they needed.

This is a great forum for some views from other countries re taxes vs govt interventions and meddling in the economies. Without hijacking your topic are you interested to talk re taxes based on where you live. I'm canadian c/w taxes, healthcare and minority govt. I'd be interested in how that works or doesn't elsewhere

@CM -

"Then please give an explanation. Right now you're giving your opinions as facts and not citing any sources or giving real evidence."

To be perfectly honest, this is what you usually do, and every time we tell YOU to give an explanation, you simply say the same thing in a different way.

Let's Roleplay Here For a Bit...
We seem to have most of our philosophical discussions come back to the God Question. But I think we misunderstand those with different views often. So--Christians/Jews/People Of Any Faith, answer the following questions as if you were an Atheist or Mitigated Skeptic (ie, "We just don't/can't know yet) and Atheists/Skeptics, answer as you think a Person of Faith would. You may ONLY answer as "yourself" and/or criticize/correct other posts AFTER you yourself have posted.
