New Game
I would like to start a new Full Press, WTA game with 48 hour phase lengths. I think the pot size should be 101 but I am flexible on that. Is anyone interested?

I Need a Mod
I need a mod to take a look at some reason postings in the thread I maintain, the Daily Bible Reading because a player is posting extremely offensive material of a graphic sexual nature that is completely unrelated to the topic. I muted him, but want to know if this is permitted or if it can be deleted from the Forum.

I need a God
I need a God to take a look at some reason postings in the prayers I maintain, the King James Bible because a neighbour is posting extremely offensive material of a graphic sexual nature that is completely unrelated to the topic. I forgave him, but want to know if this is permitted or if it can be deleted from the Universe.

Welfare pays better than work in the US
A mother of two in New York is eligible for more in welfare benefits than starting salaries for school teachers in the state. Hawaii offered the most money to a mother of two, $60, 590 and Idaho the least $11,150. 33 states offer more in welfare than full-time minimum wage work earns.

Invictus (240 D)
18 Aug 13 UTC
I have a feeling my social authoritarian score has a lot to do with strongly agreeing on spanking children. This is why the test blows. A trivial issue like that is put right alongside ones on issues like not wanting the government in people's bedrooms.

Strongly agreeing that children should be spanked probably cancelled out just agreeing on gay adoptions!

@Nigee ... you could just say my opinions on issues are typically independent of my opinions on other issues.

@abge ... to put it flatly, I think you all know that I'm not "every teenager." A typical teenager doesn't give a fuck about any of this - sometimes I wish I were that way too.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
18 Aug 13 UTC
Invictus, yes, it undoubtedly did cancel if you were strong in both cases.

Spanking isn't as trivial as you might think though... there's been a lot of sociological studies that show that it has effects later in life. Definitely the types of effects that would lead towards a more authoritarian viewpoint.
Invictus (240 D)

Well that's all I could remember that may have done it. The test also doesn't make the separation from what people's private opinions are and what they think public policy ought to be. I can be downright Victorian in my way of thinking but wouldn't dream of making laws outlawing something like playing house or getting tattoos.

I noticed that too, invictus.

Where opinions are concerned, I was likely to vote "moderate authoritarian"
Where law is concerned, I was almost always "strongly libertarian."

Still, I wound up almost exactly where I expected to be.

"Spanking isn't as trivial as you might think though... there's been a lot of sociological studies that show that it has effects later in life. Definitely the types of effects that would lead towards a more authoritarian viewpoint."

I was only spanked twice. Once for running away from my mother in a busy parking lot and once for trying to play with the stove. Call me old-fashioned, but I think I deserved both.

Personally, my social views are further left than my economic views. The questions were phrased in a way (specifically the massive corporations v. the people questions) that made my answers come out further left than they would be if they were asked in a more neutral manner.

@abe.
It wont.
It more describes my "utopia" .
Im from Sweden and many of the questions arent really an issue here. Spanking children ofcourse not, gay marriage ofcourse yes, force companies to do more than earning money etc. In my world there is no one that you could consider patriot ( in an US meaning), paying taxes is sexxy.
I was spanked all the time :( Maybe that contributed to it haha.

I cringe to think that Putin is the only one who shares my views haha
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
18 Aug 13 UTC
I see, invictus. Yes, I found often with the test that I had to try to anticipate the "spirit" of the question. I can see why you would strongly agree to moderate spanking in extreme cases and consider that trivial, and it would bias your score disproportionately to your real outlook.

That's just going to happen with so few questions.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

@invictus

Completely agreed. I was spanked once for running out into the road. Never did it again. Did it have some negative effects on me later in life? Maybe. But, it had the much greater positive effect of me not being hit by a car.
