I think the guy who made this test is an anarchist but I found it interesting and some of the questions disturbing.

My score was 22

My score was 40.

I think my great grandmother was a Libertarian, so that's make me 1/8th.

i got a 100

Why do people always have to post smarta$$ answers

The link doesn't work for me but I'd say "moderately".

It no longer works for me either though it did when I first posted it

I smell a conspiracy!

Libertarians are the new republicans.

No, Democrats are the new Republicans and the Republicans are now nothing more than a bunch of Bible beating young-Earth ranters. Sad, really, the state of U.S. politics.

The world would probably be a better place if they were.

I took this test twice before. I was 15 the first time, and took it because I was bored and enjoy taking quizzes for some reason. This was before I knew anything about politics and I scored around 80. Then I took it like 2 years later when I started becoming interested in political philosophy and got a perfect 100.

I'm more of an anarcho capitalist than a libertarian, really.

I guess that makes me 1/8th as well. Robtard, I am your brother.

From another mother, word.

I love how there are questions on the survey that a libertarian could easily answer yes or no to.

I like that it has a picture of Ayn Rand, who thought Libertarians were morons.

scored 30 here. Who would be retarded enough to privatize the government and the commons, like the police force?

Trying to answer the best I could I go 143, though some questions were definitely problematic.

Indeed.

I said no as some questions were all inclusive when I didn't want them to be. Such as, not every aspect of law enforcement needs to be government run, but not every aspect should be privatized.


Not every drug should be legalized, but a helluva lot more should be legalized.

The Fed needs to be disbanded, but not all regulatory laws in place need to be as well.


The list goes on. The "yes, no" options are not good enough. They need options like "This is too extreme as not all should be done...but some." Or something like that.

I had problems with answering too because I sympathise with a few ideas and aren't absolutely set into one particular belief system. Which is probably why I answered yes a lot.

not bad, most of it is a slippery-slope argument with some lipstick and fishnets though

I had the same problem and really just can't finish the test. lol, I need more info on some of the questions.

for interests sake, what standard, aside from personal taste, do you use to segment what should and what shouldn't be legal

Things that should be legal as OTC drugs:


Shrooms
Weed
Steroids



Things that should still be regulated, but not illegal:

Meth
Cocaine
etc.


Regulated: Meaning, it is dispensed by a pharmacist and the person is monitored to ensure they won't die too quickly. Tax it.

This is slight jest...but I could probably think about it more and give a more intelligent answer.


Drugs that should be illegal:

Cigs
Skunk Weed
or anything else that gives me bronchitis and stinks really bad.



I don't pretend to want to enforce my idea of morality.





And my "standard" is really the degree of damage or the quickness of death that the drug can cause. Things that can kill you rather fast are probably ones that shouldn't be otc legal.

Things like steroids, which are almost impossible to overdose to the point of death, in one sitting, should be OTC legal...or at least legal with advice.


Shrooms...fine.

Weed....fine.



other things like those...fine.



Crack....meth.....x, and other things like that, more caution should be employed, imo....but made much more legal.

what about the fact that I can go out and buy poison, OTC?

You certainly shouldn't be a child buying, that's for sure.

31 for me.

82

The wording was very bad in my opinion. All Yes and No to questions that aren't as simple as that.
