what confuses me is the idea that when choosing between right and wrong it is somehow good to be down the middle.

DARISC 10-17-2013 11:25 AM

Closed minds limited to seeing the world in black and white commonly spend their lives confused.

MBA Middle...

Mini van moderate. And I wouldn't own a mini van or Prius if you gave it to me.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'd like to pick those two times from the right, those two times from the left, and work everything else out rationally, without assuming that there is only one right way to skin a cat.

Nobody is right 100% of the time.

Clearly Mr Dudley, you never met my ex wife.

Weaver 10-17-2013 03:17 PM

Don't believe in religion, don't want it in my government (but doesn't want the removal of God in our pledge, on our money, ect.) and still ended up here.

I guess i'm not surprised, but I refuse to listen to the talk radio heads blather on about Nobama. I prefer Led Zeppelin cranked up.

So pretty much everyone gets MBA middle or Talk Radio Head, seems like a messed up quiz.

Answer all these personal questions and then give us your e-mail address so we can spam the heck out of you and sell your info to the highest bidder.

Seriously does anyone really fall for this scam crap?
Evidently yes.

Talk radio head!

gprsh924 10-18-2013 01:38 AM

Sammy, you do not have to provide an email address in order to take the quiz and get the results.

The members of Led Zep would be embarrassed to have you as a fan, as would 99% of the rest of the artists of the world. I guess you'll always have "The Nuge".

One of the many reasons why I think that it would be weird going through life as a staunch conservative. Do you keep it a secret? Or are there a lot of you where you live, so people don't mind knowingly associating with you, or...? :confused:

In most of the places I've lived, you would not have many friends and no one would want you at their rock show, that's for sure. :cool:

Denis, what the heck are you on about now?

Not sure I understand you. Be more specific? :confused:

speeder 10-18-2013 07:50 AM

I honestly think that it would be weird to go through life as a right-winger. It's a really misanthropic and anti-social way of looking at the world and its inhabitants at its core, and it is not shared by the vast majority of people. Among educated people and artists, (the types that most of us prefer to know), it's an almost unheard of POV.

Led Zep, (and most other artists), would be embarrassed to have him as a fan.

Not sure how I ended up as a right wing talk radio head... Lame Q and A. I have no idea what metrics they are using to decide it. I never involve myself in the political threads or the PARF cesspit, but I'll go on record as saying that this little survey is a crock. Some of my social opinions would freak out the bleeding-heart liberals, while some of my fiscal positions would make Ayn Rand consider me her soul mate! I suppose it's just another attempt to classify and put other people in a neat little box. Makes it easier to de-humanize and ignore your opponents position when you can slap a convenient label on them first.

GO DAWG GO 10-18-2013 08:59 AM

I find it interesting that they wanted to know your ethnicity? Why? To add some weighted bias to the conclusion. I punched the "Black button" to confuse the the result...But I still ended up being a radio head...

I expected to be called a confused African American...

I can't fault your logic there.

I was found to be a talk radio head. I thought a lot of the questions were misleading.

Funny thing is, I don't give a **** what you do, as long as your not hurting other people and your paying for it

Weird. I came up as "Gospel Left" - "You're part of the 11 Percent of the electorate whose values are guided by strong religious faith and who believes government plays a vital role in tackling social justice and tackling inequality."

My friends and family see me as far right politically though I consider myself in the middle; plus I'm an atheist.

The very first thing I did upon reading your inflammatory response, was to see who you are, and more importantly, where you live.....L.A. ?? Big cities have a liberal view, that we don't quite understand in the "flyover" states. I think you might need to move away from Hollywood to see the real United States !

speeder 10-20-2013 09:06 PM

There is just a huge divide in this country and it's a drag. Maybe you're really a great guy, I'm just not sure how you peg the right-o-meter in that poll(?) Don't believe in govt. or (?)
