The last 6 questions on Political Compass

[Lunar]

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?

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

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

[frenger]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

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.

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 

[Nation]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral. -- Agree

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

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

[angus]

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   

[stry_cat]

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.

[Grad Students are the Worst]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

STRONGLY DISAGREE. Who cares?

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

STRONGLY AGREE. Why not?

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

AGREE. There should be some limits, though. Some of the really brutal stuff goes beyond the decency clauses.

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

STRONGLY AGREE. Why the hell would I want to legislate, let alone know?

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

STRONGLY DISAGREE. Actually, I have no way of knowing this. And I don't really care, which is what the question infers. And it really wouldn't matter to me no matter the situation.

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

STRONGLY DISAGREE. Another case where I simply don't care. Whatever this has to do with politics. I think we need to get over our phobia of sex and nudity.

[PBrunsel]

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

Strongly agree

[Redefeatbush04]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

Strongly aggree

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

[Cashcow]

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.

[angus]

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.

check out:  Adam  (adam's not gay, but by the end he wishes he was.)

[Confabulator]

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.)

[angus]

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.

[lidaker]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

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.

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

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)

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

Strongly agree. It should be legal for minors too

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

Of course not. Strongly agree

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

Ehh... so all these gays are just faking it?

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

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

[Grad Students are the Worst]

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?

[lidaker]

lidaker,

Yep. Changed it

[nclib]

Sex outside of marriage is usually immoral.

I assumed this meant pre-marital sex. Strongly Disagree.

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

Strongly Agree.

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

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

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

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

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

Strongly Disagree. Why would someone choose to be gay and be hated and discriminated against.

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

Strongly Disagree. Like lidaker says,

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