Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

Strongly disagree.

A same sex couple in a stable, loving relationship, should not be excluded from the possibility of child adoption.

Neutral, I believe it should be left up to the states.  The more liberal states can experiment with it if they wish and the rest of the country can study the effects.


Pornography, depicting consenting adults, should be legal for the adult population.

Strongly agree.

Why is it the business of the state what I do in my home?

What goes on in a private bedroom between consenting adults is no business of the state.

Strongly agree.

Why is it the business of the state what I do in my home?


I disagree, the homosexuals I've met have been pretty comfortable with it.  However, I'm not a homosexual so I can't tell you with certainty.

It's fine for society to be open about sex, but these days it's going too far.

Strongly disagree

It depends. pre-marital sex is usually not(as long as it's not a one night stand or something like that), but extra-marital is immoral. Not think it should be illegal tough.

Sums up my opinion. Smiley

I answered this set exactly the same as you.  I gotta get my ing head checked.  I'm not sure how a right-wing nut like myself could come up with the same answers as a socialist.  I guess us Texas natives are a weird lot, seeing as how the far left and the far right seem to be in agreement.  Guess that's how George could be such a "uniter" when he was Governor there.

on the other hand, this was just a small sample of the overall quiz.  Let's get on to the important stuff like economics so we can go back to fighting  Wink

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral. -- Agree

Pornography, depicting consenting adults, should be legal for the adult population. -- I've seen relationships and marriages destroyed by pornography, so I'm inclined to disagree with this statement, but I'll just leave it blank instead.

What goes on in a private bedroom between consenting adults is no business of the state. - Agree

No one can feel naturally homosexual. - Disagree

no, one night stands, whether hetero or homo, are not immoral either.  In fact, sometimes it's just what the doctor ordered. 

Also, there should be some S&M questions in that section:

Is it okay to slap the bitch around if that's what she wants?

And some scatological and watersports questions too:

Are scatological fetishes immoral?

Is it immoral to piss all over your partner?

You get the point.  This stuff has no bearing on one's political philosophy.  I find myself in total agreement with anyone who thinks that this kind of stuff is too personal for governments to worry about.  And there seems to be no correlation between how far right you are and how left you are on these questions.  You can be a total plutocrat, and that doesn't say whether you're overly concerned with another's sex life, or you can be a total communist, and that has no bearing on these questions either.  Now, should pussy be free or should it be a user-funded endeavor?  That's a political question.  Right?  That's one that should be on the quiz.

socialist:  should be free
capitalist:  my bitches better not be giving it away

suddenly, everyone's a socialist   Wink

These questions demonstrate what is wrong with the political compass.  My answers will make me look like the most extreme Bush supporter, however I don't believe it is the government's job to regulate these affairs.  Without the political compass taking that into consideration it is pointless for it to ask these questions.  At best the political compas should be renamed the personal compass and another test developed for political values.

So they choose to be gay? It has occurred in every culture since the beginning of time. It is certainly not a cultural thing. Why would anyone choose to deal with hate and discrimination just so that they can increase their chances of aquiring STD's

Oh, come on. I'm sure every night before a homosexual man goes to bed, he thinks to himself:

"Gee, I think I'll be gay again tomorrow. I'll become attracted to men, eliminate the possibility of ever marrying my future partner, and be made fun of and discriminated against for the rest of my life. Sounds GREAT!"



Er, wait... no.

nah, it's probably more like, "gee I think I'll be gay tomorrow so I can get that interior designer job and have a better fashion sense and can finally trade grooming tips with my madonna-wannabe little sister."

you go, girlfriend.

Many animals have been shown to have homosexual behaviors.  Dolphins, for one.  (They also fight eachother about it, just like people.  How superior we are.)

I used to have a gay cat back when I was a kid.  Had a bunch of straight ones too.  The straight ones are actually worse, IMHO.

Depends on if it means before marriage or during marriage. If it's before I strongly disagree. If it's during it might be immoral, but that depends on what kind of relationship you have with your wife/husband.

Strongly agree. I heard of a study a couple of days ago that came to the conslusion that there were no differences between the welfare of  children in "lesbian" and "heterosexual" families. (Can't find the link, though)

Strongly disagree. I'm not disturbed by the openness. Openness is always good. The exploitation of sex is a bit troubling, though.

lidaker,

You answered strongly disagree on the "no business of the state" question which doesn't match your other answers and implied you took it for granted...did you misread the question or something?

Strongly Agree. As an aside, I feel that suppression of sexual material is much more harmful to women's rights than pornography is.

Strongly Agree. It's amazing that the same people who say they support less government, want government in your bedroom.
